    Yeah, Cath has been on the ball for years, her stuff for M4/V4 when I had Poser was second to none. I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do with G3. Her males are always awesome.

    I realised that my V7 wasn't HD, and I thought it would add to the render time, it didn't! I'm well happy with what's coming out now. I'll get some hair and fabric shaders next week and I'll be off to the races!

    CHEERS!

    Holy Wow! That one looks fantastic!

    Now I think I need to play with G3F a bit more. I didn't buy V7, but I've got Adaline and Gillian. (Neither actually need V7...)

    I like to shoot my photos in camera raw, then tinker with them in the raw utility before bringing them into Photoshop. How I think of it is turning the Tone Mapper off is like shooting in camera raw and using the Tone Mapper is like letting my camera process the image before saving to memory. I don't stress over the settings. If I need to adjust the amount of light the camera sees, the only setting I change is the Exposure Value.

  • Stop the savvy chitchatt and post your renders PLEASE!!

    I would but I hate cropping my images and save as JPEG because a pair of big boobs are prohibited here...tsk!

    Your wish is my command. (At least, when it's in line with what I wanted to do anyway... lol)

    Here's an older render I did for the Opposites challenge a couple months back.

    Is the Grim armour as standard or did you adjust the shaders? Back in 3DL I did a new MAT from the ground up with bump and spec maps.

    CHEERS!

    Some basic iRay conversion, nothing fancy, just evading shiny gloss.

  • RogerbeeRogerbee Posts: 4,460

    I'll probably do a full ground up rehash and put an emissive shader in the lenses. I'll need more practice first though.

    CHEERS!

    Having never tried changing skin on any models I thought I would give it a try. Not that it has turned out very good but seeing the process was interesting smiley

    Rendered in 3Delight because I couldn't get the skin to convert to Iray and it wasn't really something I wanted to spend a lot of time on.

     

    Interesting, I don't doubt there will be a G3 equivalent to Monique 6 in the works.

    CHEERS!

    Monique? That was V4, Stephane5 and Candace with the lips and eyes tweaked using the morph settings and I coloured the skin from Caucasian to what you see.

  • RogerbeeRogerbee Posts: 4,460

    I know, what I meant was that, for renders like that, there will probably be a G3 equivalent to Monique 6 available soon.

    CHEERS!

  • FishtalesFishtales Posts: 6,223

    When I did that I hadn't seen Monique, I have now smiley

  • a WIP still, need more props, tought, but it's a start scene.

    Very nicely done,

    I don't think I'll be upping anything till I have a GPU taking the strain.

    CHEERS!

    Thank you.

    I envy you your upcoming purchase. I'm not sure I can put an Nvidia card in my HP. And the cost of one is definitely not in the budget. Especially if I keep buying DAZ products! lol

    And you buy a card then want  need to buy more Daz products to test it /nod

    The same shader as my last render (well I've made a few tweaks to the setup) also a hint of bloom to make the shiny bits even shinier. The pink is the original texture. I have the shader  set up so it remains the same when I apply my modified shader (I'm quite proud of that one). I think I've also gotten a handle on finishing things and not obsessively going back to tweak them more, I had two moments while rendering this where I went "you know I could set up the shader so it does this...  NO its done." The 3delight version I was constantly upgrading (breaking all my previous presets in the process) 

     

    TLDR:  I like Shiny!

    Slightly larger version in my gallery. I just realized I didnt have a render of my dress there, oops.

    I really like this; the only concern that puts me off is the vertical position of the subject and the central placement.

  • New render.

    Yes, that will doubtless happen. I expect G3M/M7 will be out before I get a new card.

    CHEERS!

    New render.

    Looks great, I do like the skin. I always find that male textures have much more interesting skin. I tried my MEC4D shader on G3F, but, she didn't look any different when rendered so I gave up. I will see what I can do with Darius 6 though.

    CHEERS!

    Trying to learn to light things better.  Looking at it now I thnk I should have gotten a warmer background for this.

    I think that looks very nice. The characters stand out very well from the background you chose.

  • grinch2901grinch2901 Posts: 1,247

    Thanks barbult.  I was thinking warmer color tone because the sentiment seems to fit it better than the bluish / cold one does. But I appreciate your comment because I was trying specifically to use lights to provide highlights that seperate the characters from the backdrop so I'm pleased to hear you say it came across.  Thanks!

    I quite like it too,

    I tried Darius 6HD in Iray and was a teeny bit underwhelmed. The lighting and the skin shader is the same as I used on V7 and I have yet to work on the eyes or the inner mouth. Had I not started with V7, I might not be quite as excited by Iray as I now am. Here's the render anyway...

    CHEERS!

    Here's a body shot. I had to double check everything to make sure it was actually Iray, and it was. I'm sure G3M/M7 will be better than this.

    ..I've taken to using a neutral background when test rendering individual characters for a scene. I find Mec4D's ambient HDRI along with a freebie blank backdrop screen (HorizonT, I believe I found it at ShareCG) works really good for proofing.

    Using one of the Yosemite HDRI's and a few props. No other lights.

    I don't know if it completely qualifies as Iray renders, given the extensive post work, but my webcomic has an update (FINALLY)
