DS 4.22.0.15 resolves those issues.

Beautiful, amazing work.

Yes a simple plane works great. You will have to scale it to fit the image aspect ratio, but that's very simple. One thing you will also need to do is in the Surfaces tab you will have to disable or zero out all reflectivity.

Yes the lashes are shown as G8 Lashes

Well I am not sure but try clearing your cache in DS before loading your scene. Also the error is pointing to the Nvidia Cuda drivers. Try installing the current Nvidia drivers. I was getting this for a while before I found that Nvidia also offers drivers called Studio drivers (Not the game ready drivers) which are designed more to work with Graphic apps that make use of the Cuda cores. Be aware they are not the best for video games but really helps DS.

In DS you use the Render settings under GENERAL you can select DEMENSION/CUSTOM. DS renders at 96 dpi and I don't believe there is a way to change that but you could just render at 150x8=1200 and 180x11=1650, So your render size would be 1200 x 1650 or you could just use 96dpi to get a physical print size of 8x11 which would be 768x1056 in the render size settings. But I usually render things at a higher resolution and resize in photoshop which seems to work better.

Ah, I have done that several times myself.

It should show up when you do a full render. Iray Preview doesn't always show ev maps

Yes lighting is what makes or breaks a great scene. If you can purchase one of Fabiana's Theory of light sets you will be amazed by what they can do to a human figure in a render. While it's not perfect for large scale scene renders they are perhaps one of the best light sets for figure based renders. You can get these on Rendo, Just search for Theory of Light in the market place.

Thanks so much, The hair looks really great, nice work. I would be interesting if someone could re-imagine the V4 Twin-Fair hair for G8 or even V4 Lada hair

Yup, working well now. Thanks for fixing

I used Poser from version 3 to version 11. I love how the interface works, Lots of things are built in (Face room, Material room, Simple morph control of mesh's, Posing, animation. I have a huge library of Poser Products (large investment). So why did I leave poser for Daz3 Studio

Genesis 3-8 characters ported into Poser is a real pain. Daz Studio is Free, Products are NOT and they are more expensive (A trade-off) IRay render engine, dForce -amazing way to make clothes, hair etc. drape correctly. Hair looks way better and now is capable of using dForce. Beautiful and diverse characters from all races and ethnicity and any character can be any age, shape and size while looking the way intended. Water that looks like water and can have dynamics AutoFit that works 95% of the time Clothing conversions from Genesis to Genesis 8, protects your investment. Surface textures and map control L.I.E HDRI Real Sky-domes with internal lighting capability. Mesh lights Massive library of products Morphs load without having to select individually or manually.
Expandability
Smart Content. Lighting controls are incredible and is huge plus New Elements animation.

These are just my thoughts and as Poser gets better I will keep my eye out, I have a very warm spot inside for the Poser Software. I would Love for Poser to move forward, It still has a good base and vendors come up with some amazing things I would love to see DAZ Product Compatibility that would really make it shine.
