So far, the tuts are great and I am learning a lot already.

However, right now I am stuck on a minor (I think) point.  I am following the Cloth Room series, and for some reason, the Wind Forces effect in the second video does not work for me.  Even though I set up the "wind machine" as directed, when I Calculate it does not appear that the wind is blowing the cloth.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thank you for letting us know:)

Thanks very much!

Quote - So far the cloth room is very helpful...I now see what I was doing wrong...That's as far as I've gotten since now I have to put into practice..

 

Looks like you missed the intro price when first released...:(

No:

"Save 50% on this tutorial now through Sunday, September 23rd at 11:59pm (Renderosity System Time)!"

I want to buy these tutorials, but the Marketplace shows them at full price.  How do I get the discount?

I found that even with the Reality settings above, I still had to adjust the Sky light upward in Lux.  I dropped the Main and Fill slightly also.  Love those separate light groups!  It has been baking for over 9 hours now, reaching 350 S/p.

Quote - Someone said it is very nice, but very flat. It probably needs normal maps to add some depth. But maybe Ansel.Artful will post some renders :)

I'd be happy to provide some renders, but so far my limited testing has not identified a way to make the environment show up in the Lux render.  I tried making the skydome into a light, and I tried reversing the normals, but all I get is blackness other than the ground near my subject lit by a couple of Reality mesh lights.

Hi Gang:

I just bought this set while it is on sale:

http://www.daz3d.com/shop/the-all-new-worldbase-xt-lushlands

It consists of a huge skydome-type thing, and a ground plane populated with a bunch of grasses and plants and such.

Trying a quick test render with it, I eliminated the lights it loaded and added a couple of Reality mesh lights.  The figure I lit is rendering fine, and the nearby ground, but the background fades quickly to black.  How can I get the beautiful mountains and skies lit that the set is supposed to provide?

Is this set not Reality-compatible?

Quote - BTW everyone just saw that GenX is now updated for DS 4.5! Now I can install 4.5.

Michael, I hope you have better luck than I have been having.  DS 4.5 is crashing constantly on my system.

Would this stuff work with Reality/Lux???

Hi Gabriel (and all).  Glad to see you are aware of this and will be addressing it.  I had exactly the same result when I tried to use the bikini.

Hope you are able to fix it.

Quote - Sharky or anyone else that runs GPU: Strangely enough, I was in the mood to give it another go last night, but checking just the GPU function, not slg, would outright crash Lux once it loaded my cards into the log. I had the workgroup set to 64. Anything else I'm missing? Driver is very latest for nivida, and am using lux rc3. 

I have the same problem when I try to use the GPU, Lux crashes immediately.  I had hoped RC3 might fix it, but no such luck.

Quote - Another one to test out the new GND update and help get reality to number !.

GND genesis (click for bigger)

Michael, are you saying there is now a GND for genesis?  I'd like to get her, if you have a link.

  ~ Russ 

I tried to post one and it would not work.  Frustrating.

 Yes you will. :) Whoever owns all of the V4 fixes will get it free, as well as a bunch of other bonuses.

Thanks!  Another question...  I have Gen X and understand I can convert the Gen 4 figures to Genesis.  Does this obviate the need for your fixes?

Xameva, a quick question:  If we buy the bundle now, will we get the "Inject All" when it is ready?

Thanks,
