I know how to set the frame size in Reality, for my render, but I don't know how to set the size of the image to be posted here.


Pret-a-3D ( ) posted Mon, 02 July 2012 at 6:07 PM

Xandy, for my vase I unchecked the architectural glass flag. For this kind of images you should just use standard glass. Just to make sure, there are three types of glass:

  • standard. No checkboxes

  • hyper-realistic

  • architectural

 

Cheers.

Once you have the URL of the image you have posted elswhere, when you click on the image icon when composing a message, there is an advanced tab. Click that and delete all the numbers for th3e existing sizes (if any) and just put in 600 in the first box, the rest will sort itself out.

So about those glass vases.... I really wanted objects. Is there a product anywhere that has glass shapes that are objects that I can make textures for, does anyone know of one? 

I unchecked the architect glass box and my vase now looks like Paolo's.  So thank you.


Pret-a-3D ( ) posted Tue, 03 July 2012 at 3:27 PM

Xandi, you can export the Wondrous things from Studio to OBJ format and make texture from those OBJs.

Is there a tutorial I can use to learn to export the Wonderous things to objects? I'm assuming that if I do that I can then import them as objects and use textures I make?

Load the item in DS. Select it on the Scene tab, then click File - Export. Enter a name, and select Wavefront Object as the type. Click Save, and you'll get an OBJExportOptions dialog. Select DAZ Studio in To, and Accept.

Or you could ask the PA if he has templates. It'll make it much easier, I think.

Xandi ( ) posted Tue, 03 July 2012 at 5:34 PM

Thank you Doctor!  That worked.  I now have an object instead of a "thing"! 

I now have to make a template for the new object, if I understand this correctly.  What would be an easy way to do this?  Easy and quick.  I do apologize if I'm asking too many questions.  There's a scene I want to render in Reality using alot of the glass vases.

She had heard the stories of women going missing to be found dead or becoming sex slaves, but she figured that was all made up to scare the public, afterall, this was a luxury resort in a tropical paradise, it had to be safe, right?

Daz is going to get me in trouble, just spent more money on content, recieved the Daz news mail with Ksenia V4 and instantly added it to my cart - she looks so sweet, then as usual I've just had another virtual shopping spree (yet again!).  I really need to unsubscribe from the daz mailing list!  hehe.

I'm running another render at the minute, going to let it run overnight and then play with the new girl(s) tomorrow, can't wait!

That looks awesome (and kinda fun wink  hehe), although the tresspass sign looks a little flat, and the shoe on its side looks strange, heels normally dont like at 90 degrees, it looks too precise, same with the gun, looks too perfectly aligned with the crate/label - just my quick thoughts.

okay.. so now i'm getting beating up by acsel shaders.  i accept the fact that they're "automatic" and that i don't have to do anything other than install them.  my latest genesis character has been using the Dublin V4 SSS textures for skin.  lo and behold i see a shader set for dublin v4 sss optimized for genesis.  i download the shader.. load my character into a scene.. and NOTHING happens.. there's no change to the materials whatsoever.. ditto with my wife using the v5 bree texture on her character... idk what the hell i'm doing or not doing.. in the acsel column of the material tab.. should there be something there if an acsel shader is being used on that material?

 

edit:  saw the bug report in the forum and it said that this issue was fixed in 2.01.. checked my version number and i have 2.0.1.132


StevieC ( ) posted Tue, 03 July 2012 at 8:26 PM

And now for something completely different......excuse me for being  a bit daft on this subject, but from what I have read about Network Rendering in LuxRender, I take it that it can only be done while online.....? Is there any way to sync two computers to one render, ergo increasing rendering speed, without having to be connected to the internet? Any advise would be much appreciated.....


Pret-a-3D ( ) posted Tue, 03 July 2012 at 11:13 PM

Sharkbytes, not related to ACSEL but you should upgrade. Reality has been at version 2.2 for some time now.

StevieC, you dont need to be connected to the Internet to do Network rendering. The machines need to be in the same local network. From Lux you simoky add the IP address of each node running luxconsole.

Hope this helps

That's another thing I can't seem to figure out with Lux.  I start my other box with luxconsole.exe -s, then start my render on this box.. add the ip addy of the other box and all I get is a buttload of errors saying that the file can't be opened on the other computer as well as a few others.

Hey everybody! For those in the US, happy 4th! Wow, had to catch up and saw some stupendous renders along the way! Welcome to the new folks too!

Callad, I just checked out your animation. Nice! How long did it run for and how many frames? I'm still debating the animation in Lux project... I got sucked into helping my in-laws renovate their rental house on a 2 week timeframe. Guh! SO SORE!!

And Mike, on your dynamic cloth pic, what did you use for the 'wet towel' look? I've been looking all over for something of that size and material. Just a sheet is practically impossible to fine for optitex junk!

Ah, almost forgot. Xandi, so glad to see you got your vases figured out; and kadix, your crystal scene looked great! The light and shadows coming through them looked very good!

neimann, I found some very cool smoke brushes awhile back. I've been working on converting my favorites to transparent images so I can stick them on primitve planes for use in-render in Reality/lux. I'll post where I got them as soon as gimp fires up.

 

Add: Looks like they were Mystikel brushes, which came in a big package or two, as there's probably right around 40 or so. I could have sworn I'd gotten them here at Rendo but didn't seem them in his store, on a quick search anyway.

If you're looking for a quicker fix, this fellow on DA was in my bookmarks and has several sets:

Paolo... got it all figured out.. it was all about permissions.. just gave myself permissions to the lux folder on each of the slave computers and my network render was off and running.  The render was slow to begin with.. was only getting 17k/sec on the owner computer.. so getting 20k off one slave and 18k off another slave sped things up a lot.  Will be nice to see how fast I render when I can manage to pull one off that is going a lot faster.  This won't be much of an issue in the fall when I build my full-time rendering box.  This one is kind of a hybrid since I use it for gaming too.
