The eyes are tops in this one.

Oh, Callad, this looks so beautiful. What neat light sets you are creating.

I have no use for it not with almost 200G of content in my DS Runtime alone.....

 

Same here, no desire and no need to use it. Hopefully it will never becaome mandatory. Same with meta data

I wouldn't mind the ability to tell when flles have been updated. Then, I could decide if I wanted to download and install them. 

Quote - Gawd! What is happening here! Haven't got notifications for days and now there are new PAGES with posts!

Hmm.. this feels like the 'good ol' ~Daz Reality forum~ days! :)

May I tease you guys a little with a screenshot of my new ~now being tested~ Reality Light System (RLS)?

And ~yes~, the forum, guide and update thumbs actually work..

This looks terrific, Callad. All that hard work! Please consider charging. I wouldn't mind paying. You'd still deserve many thanks.

Just have to comment on this. I tried the DIM. Spent hours selecting 379 files to test, mostly Genesis. Started DIM. (This is the Mac version.) It quit. All 379 selected files were lost. In other words, there was no way the app would save or keep track of the files that had been selected. And, yes, I did look for a way to "Save" those selections within the DIM. Nope, no way.

When DAZ released Studio 4, you might remember that it took me some time to get Reality adapted to work on DS4. DAZ asked Ammon to "help me" port Reality to DS4. That would have involved, of course, to give them my source code.  I declined and boy I am glad now that I did so :)

Cheers.

That does seem like a pretty dirty move, a kind of betrayal. Someone could have gotten a lot of source code for virtually nothing. Ouch! And I suppose it couldn't have been called theft if you had willingly provided it to them.

Quote - Wow, they removed my post on the Daz forums.  I only commented on how great of a testing process they have.

"A post you made to the thread "Luxus Plugin Vs Reality Plugin for using Daz Studio with Lux Render" has been removed as it appears to be an attack on the testing process."

Haha.

Oh, yes! I've been there, too. Don't criticize them. You're supposed to say, "Thank you, DAZ." 

Quote - [Reality 2.5 works just fine with 4.5

Yeah,  and without this "Mac bug." DAZ always reports "Mac bugs" when they can't figure the Mac OS out. I really think they write most of their stuff on Windows and then use translators to get the Mac versions, which doesn't always pan out too well.

Here's what's so wonderful about DAZ:

From that luxor thread http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/18555/

"Sorry no Mac version at this time. The Mac compiler has a dynamic_cast bug that makes it so a Shader Mixer extension won't work. DAZ has assured Spheric Labs they have implemented a workaround that should become available with the next beta release of DAZ Studio." 

Do you see what I as a  Mac user see? The Mac has a "bug." When DAZ released it's so-so-faulty DIM beta, there was also an explanation about the placement of the app in the Users/Shared folder becuse of a Mac bug. 

I think there are more bugs in DAZ than there are in a Mac.

No problem. It's great having these for DAZStudio.

Hi, Callad: I'm wondering if you can do these light sets again for Poser? I know I shouldn't ask. Maybe, if you do them for Poser, you'll charge for them then. 

I'm guessing they'll still be useful with DAZStudio and Reality 3 for DS, because they work with DS now, and why not with Reality 3? But, obviously, they're not going to work with Poser.

My GOSH! Callad, I cannot believe this is FREE! Look at the prices paid elsewhere for lighting sets, and they don't even begin to offer this. 

Can't say "Thank You" enough.

Well,  it's not working for me. Should it be named ".app" at the end? It isn't. Should I add that on? There's no icon, for the Mac version at least. Can't add it to the dock. When I double-click to open it, it opens in Terminal.

Are you sure you got the Mac version? It's about halfway down the page under all the different Windows ones.

 

OOps! OK That's probably it. Yep, that was it. Got the Mac version now. Sorry.

My Gosh, Callad!! How can you be so wonderful? And you're not charging for this? You're just giving it away? I don't know what to say. Thank you a thousand times over seems much too mild.
