Doc, you need to re-evaluate the size if this market. Nobody is getting rich selling add-ons for Studio or Poser :) 

i'm nit complaining though, I make a living and I do what I like to do.  But billionaire... :) ?

Cheers.

Well, I was thinking maybe Reality did for you what Stars Wars did for George Lucas :lol:

Make him greedy and pump out inferior products that are nowhere near the quality of the originals? 

All I've seen is improvements in each Reality version, and signs that the man truly listens to and cares about his customers (unlike Lucas).  Hopefully there's no Jar Jar feature in Reality 3.  

Quote - Most likely due to all converted lighting seems to reaaalyyy add to times in my case i would not produce stories if things took that long but for one offs its very nice thats like over a work week!

No converted lighting, just an IBL and 3 mesh lights.  

60 hours and I could have it let it go longer if I was more patient. 

Completely OT, but absolutely awesome. I think we have some fans here, so I wanted to share this.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4Fn06MvcNe0

Now I need to go find some starship models to render.

How can you make Genesis's fingernails longer?

Select Genesis on the Scene tab, then on Parameters tab select

Actor - Upper Body - Hands - Universal - Proportions

Another reason I hate 4.5. Why couldn't they just keep all that stuff under "Shaping" where it actually makes sense?

One final X-Men render for now.  Didn't realize her hair was going through her shoulder until I added it to my gallery. 

Are there any good tutotials out there for animation with Reality/Lux (and Daz in general)?  

The last time I tried with a simple animation (head turn and a smile) it crashed Lux and just gave me a neverending black screen in Daz. 

I have a pretty big idea I'm about to tackle--I want to make something that's kind of a cross between a point and click adventure and an interactive graphic novel using still images and short animations.  

I'm going to start off with a very simple program called Adventure Maker (http://www.adventuremaker.com/) and then move on to learning Unity or Torque. Or maybe I'll go totally nuts and try to figure out CryENGINE 3. 

Extra nerd points if you can name them all.

Quote - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town (Kenny Rogers)

 

You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company

Its hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long i've heard them say until I not around
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slamming
Some 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around

 

It has been awhile since I posted a render, as I have been busy creating a different scene for the last 6 weeks. I hope you like this one.

Holy small details, Batman!

Is that one scene with fancy camera placement, or two scenes pasted together post? I always want to do something with that much detail, but never have the patience for it. 

Some noise I couldn't get rid of, but I wanted that gritty look anyway. 

Quote - OK, having a little bit of a problem. Reality 2 isn't opening up at all. It always used to open up instantly but now nothing, even after 10 minutes of waiting.

Any ideas?

First thought is to go to Help-->About Installed Plugins and make sure Reality has the little green plug next to it.  Double check your Reality version vs the Daz Version. I think you need Reality 2.5 for Daz 4.5, Reality 2 for Daz 4. 

Another awesome, free costume I found on ShareCG, from TerryMcG.  Building a whole X-Men army, eventually I'll get around to putting them together in some action scenes.

Quote - > Quote - I'm having a texture issue and I can't figure out what's causing it.

Harley here is wearing the V4 Bodysuit with the Harley Essential texture from Heromorph http://heromorph.com/hmdownload/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=307

I have collision for the bodysuit set to Vicky and when there's no texture the suit itself seems to be fine with no poke through.  And the texture on the suit looks fine in 3Delight when I did a test render in Daz. It's just in Reality where I get these missing patches and it's never the same size and shape if I restart the render (though it is in the same general areas).  

There's one texture in diffuse that's the same for all areas of the body suit, no bump, normal or displacement. 

Looks like the bodysuit mesh is ripping, probably due to the collision detection settings you are using.

Why not turn the bones in Vicky's body off as they are hidden by the bodysuit anyway? Nothing to collide with then.

Thanks, looks like that may have worked.  There's an option that came with the costume to "hide V4 body" and I clicked it, but it didn't seem to work.  I had to go into the scene tab and do each part manually.
