I agree with Beyjemac,

Facing this problem, you are sure that there is a problem in vertex "indexes", so either it comes from using a pmd, or from a change of vertex by the software itself. Glad you solved your problem.

Hello!

I see very nice renders here;

Well mine has a big problem :

I'm trying to render the lion of DAZ (freebee presently).

It's OK on DAZ render, OK on vue too, but as soon as I go on luxrender, I have a problem, then I don't think is comes from the object. So is there a tip to have transparency working?

Even when playing with transparency maps and so on, I cannot have a nice result.

I saw that the mesh presented both quads and tris, may the problem come from that?

If any of you has an idea!

Here is my result (top of post)

Hello,

i've finished (I won't touch it again) one of my scenes.

@Paulo : thank you for your answer to my last post, I managed to solve the problem of my "wet" eyes.

@superboomturbo : This image has been updated thank to your advices on deviant art, and is much better than the initial one. So, thank you

Just a WIP.

I saw many of you had nice eyes and tears (....When I say you, I mean your characters!). I have a problem finding the right parameters for eyes to look "wet and shiny", and nearly the same problem for teeth. (you can click for higher rez, you'll see how unable I am to reach a "nice" result..)

If any of you can give me a tip, even a little one, on how to configure the material I would be very happy. I made many tests, none are ok. I wonder if it comes from me or from the eyes I have chosen... I should come from something I have not understood...

Thanks in advance.

Now that I posted my first image, this is my last one. I made the crystal forest with blender. I took me a while to find correct parameters for the crystal, and this is absolutely not what I wanted to ended up with. But this is enough, maybe I'll try with other parameters some day. You can see higher rez (1800x1800) at the link [http://rankerx.deviantart.com/art/Godess-of-Crystals-307906705?](http://rankerx.deviantart.com/art/Godess-of-Crystals-307906705)

 

.... Hmmmmhmmmhm... Seems I have already seen it somewhere.

OK, this image just to say thank pret a  3D for the reality tutorials : I was not able at all to use luxrender before watching and making them. Today it's better. Here is my own version, my first "reality image" produced a few weeks ago.

 

Quote - Today I tried rendering a scene with 11 characters and LUX would just crash.. too bad it seems to struggle with a large amount of geometry

If they wear cloth, have you tried to "hide" the caracters body parts under the cloth, you may have much less polys to deal with, since reality will not export them. (Otherwise you still have the decimator... A pluggin I don't really like).
