Roger here are some comparisons using the same sets DS lights vs Lux all created more or less the same way

  DS LDP2   http://fav.me/d48hg8x        Luxrender http://fav.me/d5hn3lq

  DS lighting   http://fav.me/d3iq2s1        Luxrender http://fav.me/d5m75dm

Based on those, the Daz LDP2 looks the best. If you’re not going to adjust anything in Lux then you might as well not bother and just use LDP2.

CHEERS!

Here’s a couple more Poser UE renders,

Axel International and Yanneks’ Sol. Both of these were designed to look good with UE so it’s no surprise they look good now.

CHEERS!

PS (It’s the same head as I forgot to change the morph!)

quick render - playing with some light setups and some postwork techniques

Interesting, what effect were you going for!?

CHEERS!

nothing specific, just playing around

It’s fun when you do that,

That’s often how my best renders come about. I was playing around when I imported the UberEnvironment light into Poser.

CHEERS!

PS (How long do Daz Sales normally tend to last, the M4 Elite textures that Yannek did are 50% off right now. I can afford one of them right now and the other 2 I want in 2 weeks. Knowing my luck, the sale will be over when I want to get them!)

EDIT: Just got Rob, so that’s Jeremy and Lee to get in 2 weeks.

AAAAAAGH!!! Just thought, if I’d only waited a couple of days I could have got the Rob & Marie Bundle for just shy of what I paid for Marie alone!

We will agree to disagree

Fair enough,

I really like the graphic novel style, so keep it up and I’ll concentrate on the content and not what created it.

CHEERS!

I find Lux gives me results I am happy with. I am with you on not “needing” to use it heck my fans still favor the early crap I made to this day. Like you say they are more a fan of the story concept.  Lux has gotten faster and has a brilliant feature called the “Importance” brush that lets you select areas with more noise and it vanishes in no time. Kyoto funny you mention Cloud 9. It had become my fave outdoor lighting. Yesterday thats the light I tried when I went back for the 3Delight render. I was simply not happy with the result. Maybe because its been so long who knows…

Firefly gives me serenity, though I’m hoping Reality arrives before summer. (See if you get the references!)

CHEERS!

LOL

Below is Rob, all I can say is “WOW!!”,

If it weren’t for DSON, Caisson, Snarlygribbly and of course Yannek, this would not have been possible.

I’ve GOT to get the rest of his textures now!

CHEERS!

Nice Roger!

I know,

Those Yannek textures rock when you use EZ Skin 2. They used to look awful because you couldn’t do anything to the textures before that you could do in DS with the Elite Human Surface Shader. It’s only because you can now use all the bells and whistles that EZ Skin turns on that they look as good as they do.

They looked reasonable with basic IBL’s, but, when you got more sophisticated with the lighting, they looked awful. Finally, the textures are as sophisticated as the lighting and look what’s happened!

Oh BABY!

CHEERS!

still just playing around
