About the SLG pqle texture deal, you should try using the SLG included with LuxRender 1.0. Just copy it over the one in plugins/Reality and relaunch the render. 

I have "smallluxgpu2.exe" in my lux folder and "slg2.exe" in my Reality folder.  Are those the files you're talking about?

You need to copy smallluxgpu2.exe into the plugins/Realiy dir and rename it slg2.exe. If there is a Freeimage.dll file in Lux then copy that file too.

Here's a quickie render of what GenX does to Charlie's chest when dialed in fully.  I double and triple checked to make sure no settings got hosed.  My next step is to reinstall GenX and try again.

Aww.. poor Charlie, that is very little indeed.. Dunno why that is happening, I know I simply 'dailed' her morphs when I made her, so no fancy stuff.

Yeah, can't post nude renders over at DAZ 3D--and you know me--I'm a rebel--so here we go! :) Nice work with Reality 2 buddy!

Thank you Waldemar.

NOW you tell me about this deal.. I never knew there was anything to copy over..thought it was working as it was supposed to.  Paolo.. you seriously need to brush up on your mind-reading skills.  How can you properly provide tech support for your product if you can't read the minds of your users?????

Trying my best **Sharkbytes-BamaScans **:)

When Reality 2.0 was released SLG was not part of the LuxRender distribution and so I had to include it with Reality. Later on I was able to convince the Lx developers to include it so that it would be always updated with the latest Lux builds. Reality 2.5 will not include SLG anymore and it simply run the version that is included in LuxRender 1.0. 

Hope this helps

Just make sure you don't use tin foil.. that actually BLOCKS the mind-reading ability. 

One question though.  The SLG that is included in Lux1.0.  What does it have over the version that is included in reality?  Is it faster, handle lights better, textures better? I've already transfered it over; but, was just wondering what to expect when I sent my overnight rended to go.

It should have a more accurate handling of textures.

Cheers.

All right.. I'll try it out later.. right now I'm too busy digesting all the videos on the preta3d youtube channel

Here's one of my renders after having a play with my new content, mainly Ksenia, enjoy (I hope)...

(can you tell from my renders that I'm a fan of hot pink and read hair!?)

Abi.

OT: Hey Abi, just noticed your devainatArt name and am curious to know why you have it.  I've taken a few fun filled flights on C-130's, more than I'd like.  The only time in my career I've been shot at I was in a C-130 over Baghdad. 

And on topic, nice gallery.  I have a thing for redheads too. But I don't mess with hot pink much.

It's Hard To Be Humble

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
’Cos I get better lookin each day

To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a woman

I used to have a boyfriend
But I guess he just couldn't compete
With all these love starved men
Who keep clamoring at my feet

Some folks say that I'm egotistical
Hell I don't even know what that means
I guess it has something to do with the way
That I fill out my skin tight blue jeans

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin the best that I can

Wow Doc, what a serie. Looking realy great ...

Here is a little demo picture of the upcoming lightset by John3D. He did a great job as always, thanx for that.

Comes from a long time ago, major flight-sim nut and love the Herc's and Spectre's, no military service tho, just a fan.

Nice, I like hot pink also, LOL. Love those boots, where'd you get them??

Fan of flightsims huh? I develop addons for the MSFS series. You ever hang out at Avsim or Flightsim.com?

Here is the last image on your list. I copied the URL, then used the insert image icon, inserted it into the message, then went to the advanced tab, put in 600 in the first size box, left the other one blank and it automatically resizes for this forum/thread. Then clicked on the image and hit the link icon, added the original URL and open in a new window, viola.

BTW, awesome images, lots of work went into those.

A lot of work to display the full image when clicked on! Thank you, I'm going to save the instructions :)

Thanks to John for the props he created. The candle stand in the last render, the telescope in the 3rd, and his lights in the Fifty Shades of Grey render.

It's actually quite fast.. after a couple times doing it it shouldn't take longer then 10 or 15 seconds.

I used to spend a lot of time on flightsim.com, simviation and avsim (not so much avsim) but I haven't even reinstalled FSX since my last pc rebuild about a year ago, too much to do, too little time!  Back in the old days I spent quite a bit of time at the MSN Gaming zone with FS98, FS2K and FS2K2, as well as CFS/CFS2, ah memories.

Back on topic...

The boots are...

Lilflames Ankle Bootz, http://www.synfulmindz.com/catalog/ankle-bootz-p-224.html

Abi.

FSMC, you owe me 55 euro's, since posting about the ankle bootz I remembered I had a wishlist set on Synful, just bought even more content! Grrr....  hehe

Abi.

First submission to my Rendo gallery.  Have only been doing this stuff for a couple weeks so be kind.

this only took a couple hundred passes and it was about as finished as it was going to get.

LOL, sorry about that, if it makes you feel better I am off to get those boots myself.

Wow, CFS2, designed my first scenery for that sim. Been doing work for XPlane10 lately, lots of room to develop and the nightlighting is amazing, much better than FSX.

The angle of her wrist doesn't look completely natural, and that one strand of hair going across her arm seems to fight against gravity (or maybe it's sticky there?), but beyond that it's very good.  

I wish I could get my wife to show any intersest in Daz.

ROTFL!  Oh, yeah, Doc!  This is fabulous. ;)

She's lovely. The posing bit is something you pick up as you go. Those little niggly things can make a difference. But the har is still beautiful, and so is the skin. I hope you keep up the great work. :)

I believe I've created a monster.. I used to be sitting at my desk fiddling around with poser or D|S all day long while my wife was playing vid games and chatting on FB.... now here she is creating another masterpiece and I'm sitting here watching re-runs of Grey's Anatomy on netflix.

grins ..wait until she re-arranges your runtime!

I can also recommend 'Bones' and 'Mc Leod's Daughters', oh! and 'Desperate Housewifes' awf cuz! :laugh:

Sweet, your render is lovely.  She looks so sad....Maybe she wants her own computer to render on.  You look like you've been rendering for a long time.  Well done! Which hair did you use for her?  I need a long flowing hairstyle.

Doc, you brought a smile to my face. Your story is great and the renders were too.  Hmm...I might know somebody that should see it. I'll have to think about some way to send it anonymously. Do I dare?

She used the Amphitrite Hair from Daz.. think it was made by Mairy & 3Dream.  She has her own computer to render on.  It actually renders faster than mine.  This fall I'll be getting a computer built strictly for 3d rendering as I'm a CAD/Architecture major and will use the hell out of it in the next few years.  Hopefully it'll be fast enough so that we can both use it to render our hobby stuff on.  Other than that, this house if full of computers of varying strength and they all contribute when it comes time to do network renders.

Just in case anyone is interested, I've uploaded my zipped V5 push-up morphs (L+R) to my website. Here's the URL:

http://www.erikleeman.com/ZIP/Push-Up_Morph.zip

(I've included the directory path for Windows PC)

Please Note: Although they do work with the standard Genesis female figure, they only work as intended with V5!

I haven't tried installing these .dsf's on any other PC yet, so I really don't know if they will work on yours. If they don't, you can always extract the deltas from them and make your own controls for DAZ Studio.

Question: is there a way to insert newly made morphs into already existing Genesis projects? To my frustration I haven't been able to do that, but maybe that's how it's supposed to work in DAZ Studio?

Cheers!

Erik

You left out the finger impressions on the boobs :rolleyes:

Thank you!

Yes, you can do that by selecting your figure (ie. genesis) and then replace it with a new one. When that figure has loaded complete you simply chose undo - you have your original figure back with the new morphs.

Hope that helps.

Hey, brilliant!

Thanks for that trick, I really needed that!

ps: Doc, am I correct in assuming my morphs indeed worked properly on your computer? If so, will they also work on a Mac without any modification?

Quote - Doc, am I correct in assuming my morphs indeed worked properly on your computer? If so, will they also work on a Mac without any modification?

I gave it a quick spin, and it seems to work.

As for Mac, you need someone to check the paths. I don't know how it is dealt with.

I've just discovered that the 3rd render posted in that serie on the previous page was the WIP, and not the final one LOL. This is the final version:

Car paint? Anyone have an idea on the best shader for this. I have tried the metal setting, the mirror setting and the glossy, none are right for a new car. The metal is closest, but not enough reflection. I am using an IBL, so there is something to reflect. If I could combine the metal with the mirror settings, it would be perfect.

I've just used custom metal with the polish turned up. Not perfect, but I haven't found a better way.

There is Real Metals, but I have no idea how well it renders.

http://www.daz3d.com/shop/real-metals-for-daz-studio/

Thanks guys. Brad, that is pretty much where I am at, but based off some photo references it needs to reflect more that it does.

Doc, I doubt those would translate into Lux very well.

Well, well.. at least 5 of the 26 Daz picks are made with Reality, maybe even more but I could not find any credits on them..

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2852720

And Paolo.. you are getting SO close to No1 in fav vendors! At number 3 with two image credits difference with no 1 :)

Well done on your render being one of them :)
