Good luck with things tomorrow Paolo.

Nice one Reggie, looks like Penny is happy with her new toy :)

Thank you John.

Robert, I'm glad that the insurance is giving you relief and that you will be able to "reboot" soon.

Good luck.

Robert, please include me in the list of well-wishers. I'm sure it's been difficult, but it looks like good times are returning.

Quote - Looks like it won't be long before I get to play again.

Insurance finally paid off on the fire and we will have a place to live as of May 1st, which means I will be ordering computer parts shortly afterwards.

Am now surronded by sand, Mesquite ,Palm,  and fruit trees along with border patrol agents and the U.S.Marine Corps Academy

This is good news.. So glad to hear there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  You've been in my prayers. 

Looking forward to seeing your renders soon.

Meh, insurance companys are bad for the most part.  I made 1 claim in 25 years, and it took 6 months to clear.

Since we're on the eve of a new beginning for Reality. I think welcoming our Poser brothers & sisters into the fold with their very own Reality Render thread in the Poser Forum may be in order. What do you say Paolo?  "Reality Render Thread: 3 the Easy Way"? "Reality Render Thread: Poser Edition"? "Reality Render Thread: All Your Renders are belong to Reality"? "Reality Render Thread: With 3 You Get Poser"? LOL

Let the joyful madness commence. Excelsior!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one left remembering the old meme "All your base...".

I'll think about something but it's defintely the occasion to start a thread in the Poser forum.

Thank you for the reminder.

All your base, base, base, base, are belong to us...

Reality for Poser Render Thread: Guess who's coming to dinner?

Reality for Poser Render Thread: Enemy at the gates?

Reality for Poser Render Thread: The Barbarian Horde...

Reality for Poser Render Thread: Game of NVIATWAS

It's "there". Congrats to Paolo!!! (who will be flooded with questions from the R3 users)

The promo images look stunning! Now I hope we Dazzies will get to see some screenshots of the features given in R3. I am REALLY curious!!

..did I see "Projectors" mentioned in the features? :)

Thank you Charley.

Yes, we are getting flodded, which is wonderful.

You can see the new UI, including the projectors, in a couple of videos that I posted in the YouTube channel (subscribe, it's worth it).

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/user/PretA3D

Cheers.

HUGE congratulations to Paolo!  This will be a landmark in the Poser community, and I am confident Paolo will be deservedly rewarded for all his hard work (and Mrs. Paolo too!).

  ~ Russ  

Congrats Paolo looking forward to getting this after I get settled

Thank you everybody. 

This has been a huge project but I'm so excited about this technology and can't wait to bring it to Studio as well.

Cheers.

Thanks Paolo! Watched the vids and I just LOVE that Reality gets updated 'on the fly'! If this is going to be implemented in DS it will make editing SO much easier!

:) Now go back to hit 'refresh' on your R3 selling pages Paolo! I wish you and Holly many, many, many sales!! :)

Congrats Paolo! Now the rest of the community can share in our enthusiasm for Reality and Luxrender!

BTW what is the purchase process for the crossgrade? I was just at your site and didn't see any info.

The crossgrade is here: http://preta3d.com/purchase-reality-3-for-poser/

It's just $14.95 for all users of Reality, 1 and 2, and it just requires the usual serial #/order # combo.

Cheers.

If I ever get the activation emails, LOL

I actually look forward to playing with some old V4 content I can't get to work on genesis as well as some custom mods I have for Miki 1 and 2. Time to do it oldschool (the long way) with morphing clothes and crossdresser again

I actually had a quality Miki 2 set wishlisted that I was able to get for $3.50 in the sale they are having

Should be fun you will be ready for the DS version.  I am going to be keeping with R2 till then I am curious to see how it will all run with win 8 next week. .this is my rendering cibaticl.   

Okay Paolo.... I'm going to sitemail you my order number.  I got 3 emails.  One from paypal with the subject  Receipt for Your Payment to Pret-a-3D‏ One from your email with the subject: 

Reality 3 for Poser - upgrade from Reality 1 or 2 Purchase‏ and a 3rd one from your email with the subject

Your Pret-a-3D purchase‏  

I've got everything installed correctly; but I've either not received my info or don't know what it is that i'm supposed to be looking for for the order number and license key.  I can see an invoice id on the email from paypal but nothing else

I feel ya Sharky, I haven't gotten any emails. I figure Paolo is swamped, just wanting to dive in and get busy.

Ok, I'm back from dinner. I'm going through the email and I will take care of everything in a few minutes.

Thank you for your patience.

Paolo - I just wanted to say thanks for the reasonable sidegrade price on Reality 3. Already purchased, downloaded, installed, and "looked under the hood". All I can say is WOW! For most things I prefer DS over Poser, so I am really looking forward to the DS version, but I'm very pleased with what I've seen so far in Reality 3, and will no doubt get more use out of Poser now.

Congratulation on another fine product!

Oops.. It seems I am generating over 2Gb of traffic within 24 hours on my dropbox account... So Paolo is not the only only one who's being swamped.. :)

I can't imagine that it would be cuz of ppl opening the RLS guide, maybe there are a lot of downloads on the free IBL presets??

So this means the Guide won't be available for the next 24 hours I think.

Thank you dustrider, I'm glad that you like it.

Please let me know if you are still looking for those. Sharky got his email. 

I can re-forward that to you but I need you full name to find it.

Cheers.

Hi Callad

I was one of the ones who swamped your account, I tried to look at the RLS guide only to find there had been too many people trying to access it.

So is there any chance for those of us like me who tried to use the lights and got horribly confused (I’m easily confused) you could post a quick basic how to use them guide here?

I would be so grateful

Thank you

Thank you for using my freebie! :)

Thank you for this callad, your work is very much appreciated

Is there a thread that's functioning for Reality 3? Paolo closed the last one. I'm not getting any emails about posts. Please someone, a link?

Well, he has been flooded with questions here:

http://forum.runtimedna.com/forumdisplay.php?302-The-Official-Reality-for-Poser-Forum

so I think he has very little time left for other threads.

Hi :) I didnt post in a loooong time. I dont even render anymore.

I got Paolo's email yesterday about Reality 3. TBH I dont use poser since Reality 1 came out. I'm not dissing firefly, its a great renderer, I just like how Lux renders better. And I'm not giving up on all my tools in DS either (autofit, polygon selecting tool). Still, I bought R3 because I'm curious how it works and well, I like Paolo lol He's always very helpful and his products are top notch.

I will definitely try poser with this plugin, but I'm waiting for DS version of R3.

Great job Paolo and I wish many sales :)

BTW what happened to the reality threads on the daz forum? I cant find them.

Thank you very much.

DAZ has gone through several changes in the last year or so and Reality had to find a new home, which is here and at RuntimeDNA. 

Cheers.

Hi, Paolo: I guess you read my discovery comment I posted in another thread. But, just let me repeat it. It's the same, I believe, as others mentioned. I had been trying to render a scene on which I used the EZSkin v2 shader. That's why I got all the error messages. If I just use an M4 with the basic texture, it renders fine. I also tried applying a texture I had bought for M4, but without using the EZSkin shader. Same thing: all kinds of error messages. So, I guess Reality3 has trouble finding the materials or textures, at least in some cases.

Hi inquire.

This is a process of refinement. While I tested Reality with many different textures and maerials there are just so many conbinations out there.

But if you give me a step-by-step procedure to reproduce an issue I will look into it and provide a fix at some point.

Cheers.

Wow, Reality 3 is an eye opener. I was thinking that coming from Reality 2 much of it would be second nature, but after a couple of days I see I was wrong. I miss the sliders for values and trying to understand the different skin setting values is a nightmare, similar to trying to see what the different SSS nodes did in poser. I am so used to not setting an exact render dimension in poser and just going with the preview size, but now I have to since Reality tells me to, bummer. I also can't get copy and paste to work, probably a setting that is confusing me. I don't usually look at documentation, kind of a hands on person, but I guess it's time to visit the RUG.

Are we supposed to pack up and move to new forums?
Anyways, here's my latest effort.

I'm planning to get the cross grade for Poser.  Can't use it, but its cheap, and Paolo needs the money.  :-)
