I thought it might be good to have a Reality 3 & Lux render thread here for those who don't visit RDNA that much. The Reality thread in the Daz Studio forum has been a great place for everyone to share their renders, ask questions, and learn more about Reality, Lux, and DS.

Please feel free to post any of your renders - test renders, WIPS, renders for fun, your masterpieces, or anything else of interest. It would also be great if you could share lighting used, special settings, special materials/shaders and how you made them, or anything else about your render that would help others learn more about rendering in Lux via Reality 3.

Also, please feel free to ask questions, and/or post examples showing problems you are having or new techniques you learned. But the most important thing is to have fun and learn!!!!

I'll start it off with the very simple "quick" render below (full sized version is available in my gallery). I used the sun light included with Reaiity 3, linear tone mapping,  ISO 100, shutter speed 1/500, fstop 5.6. SSS was enabled for the skin shaders with a slight modification to the default SSS colors, and the gold metal bits were set to gold in Reality - polish reduced to 4500, with no other shader modifications. Rendered on a quadcore i7 laptop for approx. 18 hours, 650 s/p (didn't have to go that long, just left it running while at work on 14 hour workday, probably would have been fully cooked at about 6-8 hours).

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done!

PS: Nudity checked just to be safe :)
