Yes, they have a new look. As for whether it is working, looks ok to me (so far).

It certainly rolled out better than the Daz crashomatic technique...

Ask and you shall receive...

Callad, I played around with your light sets with this render.  The projector worked just fine casting the lines across the the wall and Velma's face.

Just an observation but aren't these the same as Reality Gels?

Jinkies!  The voice print matches!

(Can you say that with Velma's voice?)

Quote - > Quote - 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.

lol, Now don't make me blush!

You can repay me with a wonderful render using the projector system! wink :)

Challenge accepted.

OK Guys, bonus points if you can name the characters in this render.

Its called, "At The Malt Shop".

You see it full scale here;

Quote - The thread has stalled a bit so I decided to give it a bit of a jumpstart with my latest render.  This time, kept it away from photoshop other than to tweak the color a bit.

This one is pretty good.  Much better than your Marylyn Manson chick...  :-)  (And personally, I like this more than your last one.)

My current render has been in the works for 3 days now.  Its chewing 10GB of RAM, a new record for me.

Quote - > Quote - Mustang, that set doesn't use standard Studio shaders, it uses 3Delight scrited shaders. They can't be converted, they inly work with 3Delight.

That's a real shame....I wanted to do those scenes with Reality but at least I can do the others with Reality.

Contact Stonemason.  He's uses Reality. The only idea that came to my mind was to use the snow with a transparency map based on the gap lines, then place a copy of the ground just underneath and give that the lava rock colour map.  That would be direction dependant...

So... Stonemason called my last two renders 'cute' with the little CamBots.

This is my retort;

This was rendered in Lux via reality. No post work.

Quote - No, I only loaded a Reality 'Sunlight', so not a meshlight. When calling Luxrender a Sky is provided automatically. I did the 'Lonely Street' scene a while back so I cannot recall the filmresponse setting. I think it was 'Advantix 400' I used that one a lot back then.

LOVE your image! Can I see it 'full view' somewhere?

 ..Oi.. if your wife thinks your image is 'softcore-porn' then please not let her see my gallery on DA.. She probably considers those images 'hardcore'? :) 

This is where I am on DA... http://fluffybush.deviantart.com/

I think all artists are pornographers at heart.

Quote - Actually, I did rerender it with two dynamic dresses :) http://callad31735.deviantart.com/gallery/33766630#/art/A-Lonely-Street-II-for-Maxxxmodelz-302914041?_sid=1a9ece4a

I used only Sun and Sky for lighting.

"SINlights" UHF? ..now what would Freud think of that?? ;)

Dynamic clothing still make DS crash to desktop instantly. My work-a-round does not work anymore. So when I use Dynamic stuff I save the scene, fire up my old 32bit pc, load the scene, drape, freeze, export and import the draped thinghy into my scene.

Much work so I don't do it often.

So, you created a sunlight mesh, and used a Sky IBL?  What about CameraFilm settings?  I'm frequently using Optima 200CD. (Sorry I'm not at my rendering PC, its like in the first 20 on Paolo's Film list.)  My renders are set to ISO 200, 1/2 to 1/8 exposure, and 5.6 fstops.  (Actually my renders are going a lot more smoothly when I start with the exposure in mind.)

I'm not sure if this image is good enough, so I'm still thinking about it.  Its defintely got wierd shadowing on it.  And of course seeing the blurred corner on that wall after an overnight render.  sigh

:blushing: Sinlights indeed.  I used to refer to my girlfriend as my girlfiend...

My wife said this render was practically softcore porn!  I said, "Whadya mean?  She's got panties on!"

inquirecallad:  Thanks... Yup all fixed. 

callad: "A Lonely Street", you might try rerendering that with the dress.  Maybe dynamic clothing is working better in Daz since you first did that?

How did you light that scene?  I swear that when I work with IBLs I get nothing but fire flies.

I'm working on a follow up to my last image involving Cambot using Streets of the Mediteranian. My sinlights are always too harsh.  I've now started using meshlights, exclusively and I'm getting really good results.  But it doesn't look like sun.

Quote - Your problem may be solved by using another theme for DazStudio? Which theme do you use now?

I've neer installed anything.  I'm just using everything default.

Quote - > Quote - > Quote - It changes the ratio which I am not crazy about sorry to be the bummer in the convo...

What does change the ratio Bob?

 

The lights when I tried applying one it gave like this 1x1 rectangle that left out most of the scene then the seetings remained like that I had to go dig up my ol screen size again

 

Edit added pic

Interestingly, since I upgraded to 4.5 many of my top toolbar icons ceased to be graphic.  I get a few words instead.

Quote - > Quote - Well... Here's the render I was struggling with, finally finished.

Its called, "I told you not to peak when I was buffing myself!"

That render is DOPE

I suppose you can guess what I meant by 'buffing'...

Actually you could just call your last render Maralyn Manson...

Quote - Penny heard someone mentioned self-shot photos. The phone is a Galaxy S3 model free in this month's 3D World Magazine.

The camera has been reduced in scale to 1% and is parented to the phone in the same position as the phone camera. A mesh light has also been resized and parented in front of the camera flash.

Shwing!

I'm tell you guys, such a pose set would sell!
