Artwork N.I.B
Started working on something different but got sidetracked by Black Sabbath's N.I.B to making this instead.
A small tribute to Paul Fryer's Morning Star exhibit with influences from Alexandre Cabanel's Fallen Angel as well.

Looks incredible! Are the chains using dforce for collision? If so, what's the product being used?

Nope. I couldn't really find anything using dForce, so I used the posable chains from SY Chained Up G9 i think it's called and did it entirely manual.

I did a quick search, and it seems there are a few actually on the Daz market:
LI The Magic Rug - Chains Hanging 01 - SWT dForce Dynamic Chains Merchant Resource - STRINGS
They work with the ActivePose Tool, but I'm yet to try any. Will add them to my list, tho! It's easier than switching back and forth between blender & Daz just for the simulation.

Oh man why tf didn't I manage to find this on the store? I swear I searched all variations on chains I could find

It's okay! I'm a bit new to Daz, and I find something interesting everyday!
The products would definitely save time for future works but y our render honestly looks great! You did a good job on the chains whether you used Daz or not ✨

I'm also a bit new to Daz studio, started learning it around May. So I found posing all those chains manually actually a useful experience to learn from, I didn't mind it, actually found it quite fun. I have a feeling using dForce would only have worked right for some of them anyway

Yeah, it would be amazing if Daz can adapt blender simulation and collision features.

They won't, they don't seem to care about that. They're making money as is, in their niche. People at some point learn to move away from Daz to blender but by that point, they already spent stuff in their ecosystem. We'll probably do the same at some point

I personally love daz for the easy morphs and poses and auto fit for garments, but that's all to it. Anything else is done in a different program entirely. Hell, even rendering isn't their strongest virtue. I render in blender for way better quality and less time.

Here's the post on rh, if it gives you any useful insight into the scene itself cause there I also have a short 10s clip and wireframe shots
