Quote - Hi
Question for Kros.
Do you have the Advanced render Module
for C4D??

Nope, my most advanced render is the Poser one.

ps. Im thinking on getting VRay since there is more info on the net about this connection, even the Poser + Cinema + VRay connection so I know its posible to do. Atleast Indigo is free but its been too much of an ordeal to get what I wanted so im giving up.

Quote - I've never used Indigo, but I've seen a similar problem with Kerkythea. Does your figure have some kind of outer eye material (cornea?). When I used PoseRay to export  a Maya Doll figure to Kerkythea, I got the glazed eye effect. Changing the setting of the outer eye material fixed it. I have no idea what the corresponding changes would be for you or even if it's the same problem.

There was also a similar problem with imported Poser hair though I think now with PoseRay it is much better. I'll include a link to some techniques folks used to fix it but since Indigo and Kerkythea are two entirely different renderers, I'm doubtful if it will help.

I do have cornea on my figure but I dont think there are reflectance settings. Yea, I pretty much think its the same problem only that settings are a bit different. Im gonna keep looking up for something like that then. Thanks for the help.
The hair thing too, settings seem to be different but im positive its the same problem, just that they are different softwares and unfortunately, im a noob using both cinema 4d and indigo so I dont know how to change those settings or even if im able to with indigo materials. Atleast I have indigo for free for now. It got to my mind to try VRay for maybe better results thinking maybe this was an indigo problem but I just figured out it is something that could happen with other renderers too.
Thanks again.

Ive spent so much hours tweaking the alpha, tranparecy and specular settings and nothing. Ive tried so many different ways. Sometimes it gets worse, other times other white spots appear on the top of her hair but some of the old ones on the tips dissapear. The thing is that is not a "nod" thing like I imagined ir idk, there are just four buttons- Invert, Soft, Image Alpha, and Premultiplied- on the Aplha Settings (Settings of the materials before materials being converted into indigo materials because if I tweak too much the materials after being converted, an error appears when I press "Render with Indigo".) Its getting really frustrating being so near to finally do my renders but not being able to do so because of some stupid white spots.

Quote - First you have to find the transmap image JPG files for the eyelashes and eyebrows that your figure used in Poser or whatever.  Then in your rendering program, you assign your color (usually dark brown or black even) to the eyelash and brow objects.  Then tell your renderer that these objects are using transparency values dependent on alpha maps (trans maps) that you will apply to the UV maps of the eyebrow and lash objects.  Invert the B/W images if needed depending if your app's transparency goes by 100% white or by 100% black.  Turn off any shine or glow that your app may have assigned to these objects.

Here's a sample lash trans map.

I will definatetly try this. I'll see if I can manage to do it. Appreciate it.

Quote - Looks like an alpha layer issue.
Convert the materials before exporting, this will replace the Cinema4D materials with Indigo materials and allow you to edit them. Invert the alpha map in the Blend channel.

Yea, I do convert the materials, that is when the problem starts. Before I convert them, if I render with Cinema, the model will look how she is supposed to. Then, I convert the materials and Render again, her eyes then turn white on the Render (still on Cinema). I First thought this was normal but when I export all, whitout changing or editing the indigo materials, the model on Indigo appeared how she looks on the picture, white hair tips, white eyelashes and her eyes where also white like on the Cinema render.
I will try this inverting the alpha map on the Blend Channel.

Quote - The materials for eye brow and lashes and hair are always manually done in the apps I export as OBJ into.  I model my own eyeballs though.

There should be an AI that knows you are doing this during OBJ import and suggests doing it for you.

Sorry, I dont know that. What do u mean that they are always manually done in the apps? How do you do that?

Would anyone be so kind to take a look at my thread because I need a little bit of help from people with some kind of experiance or knowledge on working with unbiased renderers and Poser?

It is not that big of a deal for people with experience because im a hair away of finally getting the render done but I have a small problem.
Any kind of help will be very much appreciated.

Awesome, thank you. : )

Quote - In case you haven't seen it, there is going to be a new plugin for DazStudio to port DS scenes and materials over to LuxRender (a fantastic rendering engine). Trouble is, I don't use DS (hate it), I use Poser ;o). Now, in visiting LuxRender's website, there are already exporters from various programs to get your scenes into LuxRender. Poser is not among them and Blender is the only free modeling program that has an exporter on the list - the rest are Maya, Max, C4D, etc. (which I don't own). Here's what I'm asking: being that the Blender to Lux exporter is written in Python, if for Blender than why not for Poser? Has anyone attempted this? Anyone interested? That would just be the monkey's ass if we could render Poser scenes in Lux ;o).

Any takers? I suppose you could always examine the LuxBlend exporter for Blender to see the Python script already done there. If I were a programmer, I'd do it myself, but I have about a snowball's chance in hell of ever doing that...lol. Therefore, I'm begging on my hands and knees...

Quote - if you check the Reality thread in the Forum, there is currently a talented trio creating a Poser to Luxrender exporter.

the eventual aim is to expand to other render engines, but Lux is the first target.

Okay, ill check that out. That could be of some help and it must be something similar to rendering with indigo with cinema as an exporter. Thanks.
It would be awesome if you could post the link but, anyway, ill search for it. Thanks again.
