any tips how to make the clouds more more feathery on the edges? the feathers options doesnt work.

and how did you do the bottom part of the clouds so soft?

is it possible to control the shapes of the cloud on the bottom? to add a node?

amileduan where did you get the tutorial?

yeah teh AA settings are a joke. Vue is not that fast when you would like a clean image.its easier to make landscapes than in other software. but rendering it out for close ups or animation is very hard.

i think the biggest problem i have are the meta clouds. why cant we make our own shape?

i would like in vue a physica lcorrect sky. so that when you save as openexr we get true 32 bit hdr sky.

i would also like a more clear interface for cloud settings. where every word means what it means.

the ability to import an obj model and convert it to a meta cloud. creating a custom shape in blender is 2000 times easier than in Vue

Quote - When I first saw the images created with metaclouds on the Vue website some time ago, everything in my production workflow changed. I had to have that power. This quick little video shows just how powerful they can be and some of the things I do with them. 

CHECK IT OUT!

do you still have this video? can you please upload it?  

does anyoneelse have this video?

thanks

so now i am reading that a lot of poser users have problems with the SR2. did they do something wrong is there something wrong with the SR2.

dynamic pants and dynamic jacket plus conforming shirt.ok so just we understand. you dont render the shoulder pads. you only use the shoulder pads when calculating the dynamic clothing. so in thecloth options youselect the shoulder pads as collision. when its finished you make them invisible. they are under the jacket and give the jacket the right shape.

so what did i do? i modeled 2 simple shapes for the shoulders. they look similar to the pads under the jacket. then i was thinking, ok how will i now parent this to the body. ohhhhh yeah we have conforming clothes. this is perfect.

this is how this looks. those are conforming shoulder pads. the groups are only for the M4 chest. that way they dont bend when you move M4's shoulder.

for 2 years i have been searching for a technique how to get similar shoulders. nothing. i always thought that i have to model the jacket with some special loops. but no.

i forgot to install servis realese 1. i noticed that its not on the updates page. or is the SR1 the on with the plugins?

in 2 weeks a new official blender will be out. it will have bmesh. so you get advanced knife tool and an advanced mega fantastic bevel which is able to model round edges for low poly models. so we will get tools that are perfect for poser models. an example where to use this. for poser cloth.

on top of all Cycles the new realistic renderer is becoming moe and more complex. in 12 months Cycles will be able to render everything that Poser can render but faster. on top of all it will get SSS and volume effects.

so in 2 weeks you will be able to model everything in blender for poser. in 12 months you will be able to pose in Poser and render 100% realistic images with Cycles.

we are.............here ..........my friends

Reddog9 great job on the poser tools.

could you also add an option where we can import into blender figures that are already posed?  right now we have to export and then import into blender. could this be added?

thanks

i went back to the anisotropic shader. and i just realized what was wrong. the node doesnt work with anisotropic textures.

in 3D the only way to control where anisotropic direction is with a special texture that you can make in photoshop.

this is for example for a CD or DVD.

this is for metal like here .

if we could use this kind of textures we could also use them for hair. we could control in which direction its going.

or can we use those textures?
