Description


This was just an attempt to work with The Girl and a few of the undersea creatures that are lurking in my runtime. Well, something went terribly wrong....The Girl mermaid rendered fine, so did the manta ray, the hippocampus....THAT'S where we hit a snag or two. I either got the head and neck with no 'mane' or, shifting geometries in parameters, I get the mane and no head or neck! (just ears and floaty eyeballs!) Yes, I realize this shows an image only half rendered, but, as stated, it's a WIP. If ANYONE has any ideas how to get the mane and the horse's head and neck to render in the same image...please, please, PLEASE send me a SM and let me know! I think I gave myself a few extra grey hairs last night trying to work this out! Thank you for letting me ramble and rant. We now return you to your regularly scheduled madness. ~~~~ Semi rendered in DAZ Studio ~~~~ credits will follow later once I finish super gluing my torn out hair back in (besides - I figured this'd be good for a Halloween type image what with the floaty eyes and all)

chuckles My poor dear. As you know, I was trying to fix this for ya and came up with the same problem. I couldn't even find anything in the readmes or Daz guide to figure this out. Looks like it was working up to be a great image and I hope you get a chance to finish it sometime.

you're in daz - can't help ya... don't know the program... In poser, you can make items invisible, I wonder if that is what happened here. you'd be better off to start from scratch and see if it does it again.

Hey when you were in the scene tab you didn't turn those off by mistake did you...it is an easy thing to do trust me.

Stacey this will be a cute image when you get the snag worked out, I am sure someone has the answer as I read the responses but let me know

looks like a cool image, if you could pull that merhorse together, lol. There are several ways to make things visible/invisible.. As mentioned, in the surface tab-opacity setting, in the scene tab-clicking the little eyeball will do it, on the parameters tab, there is a button that says visible, and you can click it to on or off. If it's none of these, I really have no clue, lol. I hope you get it figured out so your hair will grow back, :)

I have a solution...but it requires c4 and the total destruction of your computer. Sorry, I know very little about D/S but this is just the sort of thing Poser would do (on purpose) to drive you nutso! Glad to know D/S can be just as uppity at times. I do hope, however, you can figure out what is causing this as it is really a nice start on a great pic.

Well you could juts forget about trying to render it as one image and layer it in Photoshop and 'weld' it together. May need some tweaking but nithing special. That would work if you have all the bits? Its promising! Dave

Looking good. but I am afraid I don't know what is going on. Good luck Stacey.

I totally agree with Heathcroft. The simplest solution is to do both renders, bring both images into PSP or photoshop, and then simply paste the layers over one another. Since they will be the same size they will line up perfectly. You can use an eraser on one or both of the layers to wipe out any parts you don't want.

Thanks, everyone, for the ideas and input! I'll have to see what I can do to make this image right! With such great ideas, I'm sure I'll figure out some way to pull it together! I may just have to layer in DS since I don't have PSP or Photoshop (yea, I'm stuck in the dark ages with just MS Paint and Photo Impression and I haven't figured out how to layer in that one just yet). But, I'll make it work.....somehow! :-)

Look into Gimp! It's free and does most of what PS and PSP will do. This looks like it will be cool. Don't have any idea why it would do that though.

You are off to a promising start with this one. It looks like you got some good advice above. I hope you are able to fix it. As someone said up above, I work more with Poser than DAZ, so I have no idea why it is doing this. I know that in Poser, if you go into the pref folder under the runtime folder and delete all the files in that one folder, (because they tend to get corrupted over time), it usually straightens out this kind of wierd behavior. But that is just for Poser. Best of luck. I'm rooting for you as I am sure everyone else is as well!

Poser can do funny stuff some times and Daz is not without the same problem as your experience shows
