Very nice.

Thanks

That looks better! hornet3d posted at 8:04AM Thu, 09 April 2020 - #4385485

OK so here's the second attempt.

Found an old model from Toffanello in a forgotten runtime and thought to give it a go with superfly.

Everything is better with Superfly!

Except for items that use/need micro-poly subdivision displacement!

Through the asteroid field!!!

I really like all these little splashes of colour against the white!

Curious if anyone has thoughts to moving to 8K maps, we have been using 4K since 2006 at least. Below is an 8K interpolated from 4K miki textures,

I've started using 8k maps for hair, not simple resizing though. So far I've just taken 4k maps into photoshop and quadrupled them so the details/hairs are finer. No issues with RAM so far, even my 6-year-old iMac has 32GB RAM.

What's your process for moving 4k to 8k? My other half is a graphic designer and she finds: http://waifu2x.udp.jp useful so I thought I'd try it, but it didn't seem to make any difference for me.

That eyebrow looks good btw... is that standard miki? texture or geometry or both...?

Maybe we should start a 4k versus 8k comparison thread?

8K texture map was generated in Substance Painter from a mixture of 4K base Miki textures and the texture.xyz demo mat that came with SP. I was surprised how much the jump in resolution improved the details, guess much of this is anti aliasing. I'll see if its possible to generate some native 8K textures and do another test.

8K texture are great! This is a free model fro RenderHub with 8k textures

For about 3 weeks, i ask myself if it is possible to get the same effect as light passes through an prisma.

Stupid idea. It takes many test render and sleepless nights.

Here is the result:

And some of my test render:

Intriguing project, modelling IOR for multiple wavelengths could potentially be applied to other uses such as SSS and special effects like chromatic aberration.

The idea behind was, to create an better "gemm / diamond shader". On the beginning i played a lot with glass and refaction shaders. But at the end it was very simpel, i only need for the prisma a "glass shader" and for the rainbow effect i use "light path and transmision rays"

For details that small when using an 8k map wouldn't it be helpful to also use uncompressed TIFF or PNG files? You can see the files compression artifacts in bump maps on reflective surfaces.

ghostman - the image with the girl in sunglasses and hat looks 100% photo real to me. very nice image - lovely character and pose. skin looks amazing. lighting is perfect. REally good job!!

Hi ghostship2, sorry for my late reply. That is a really good question and i think that you are right.

The most figures with 8K textures that i found have PNG files for the texture maps but sometimes they use TIFF files for bump or normal maps.

But our problem in "Power world" is that these files are very huge and my graphic card won't like it (Only 6 GB ram -> cuda error).

For my render "back out of hell" i have to cheat a little bit. This model has a lot of polygones so i use for the upper torso the 8k textures and for the lower torso only the 2k textures.

ghosthip2 is right, uncompressed image formats are better for rendering. They don't take more memory because even compressed images are uncompressed for use. The only benefit to compression is file-size on a hard-drive (and size to download if relevant). So use uncompressed where possible, especially for close-ups.

WIP - The Metropolitan Collection - London V4.2 by danae

Pretty

Thanks!!! But is still not finished yet. The Necklace and cloting needs some more adjusting.

Who needs a full beach ?

I just bought some new shoes for V4 and wanted to show them off...

Uhhhh, did you forget to render the shoes you just bought for V4?????

@ghostship2 - Those shoes don't work with that outfit lol

@Miss B - I know... right? Whose idea was it to put them waaaay down there... on your feet? On your hands would be so much easier

I wish Superfly didn't take so long. This took me at least a half hour to render. I selected Superfly Ultra non-branched, HDRI, no lights. I'm no artist, so, of course, I have no clue what looks good and what doesn't. But, just like a certain unfortunate world leader, lack of knowledge, skill, and judgment won't stop me!

Superfly. Don't remember the settings. ezdome and an HDRI I got from HDRI Haven. This was one of my first attempts with Superfly and I botched a lot of stuff. I still had a lot of artifacts that are plainly visible.

rokket, which size HDRI do you use from HDRI Haven? And do you subdivide your sphere?

another portrait. It's what I do.

I've been working on this for a while. Just Superfly. Sorry didnt use Ghostships hair mats. Got bored and wanted to publish. V4 model.

Just quick renders of the Ancient Persia Kitbash sets.

Soon in Alain's store (3DClassics) this beautiful "Car rapide" Renderd in Poser Pro 11 with "superfly"

More than 30°c outside combined with mandatory face masks. Somebody wants us to die. This image is meant as a computer screen background.

Good stuff! Were the hair shaders taking too long to render?

No just takes me a while to set up using Snarly script. I'm spending all my time improving the morph. I'm never satisfied. Of course I only have to do it once, so I'm being lazy.

Rejuvenating an old Maddie 3 figure.

This is the feeling I used to get on a Sunday evening, with the threat of a week of school hanging over me. EDIT: Of course, back then there were none of the videogame consoles shown here. I'm not that young!

@johnpf Something off about the texture map you used on Maddie. I am assuming this is supposed to be a child and not an adult midget? Too much freckles and age spots, the eyes have dark skin/makeup around. Just a thought.

Ghostship2: Now that you point it out, yes I see what you mean. Thanks for mentioning it!
