Dear who like anme manga toon.

On 17 April, mirei shader was released once.
But for my some reason, I asked DAZ to stop release.and DAZ did .
Sorry for Inconvenience.

I intend to ask DAZ to restart release Mirei shader if I can..

If you are interested in this I am glad.

And, I found some questions on old forum.
I intend to answer at next post

Thank you

I found that georgewrestling wrote “I don’t understand how to use mirei” in old forum.

Basically
1.  select the figure in the scene by click it on the scene tub
2.  Select the surface by click on Surfaces tub.
3.  Apply shader preset by double click on the preset icon.
    Shader presets are under the folders:
        My Library/Shader Presets/NyaNyan/mirei/01.palete/setxx
        My Library/Shader Presets/NyaNyan/mirei/03.sample/for human skin

And usually only 1 distant light exist in the scene. angle is oblique.

Readme and document are hear:
      My Library/ReadMe’s/ReadMe_14036_1.0_Mirei Anime and Toon Style Shader for DAZ Studio 4.html
      My Library/ReadMe’s/ReadMe_14036_1.0_AuthorReadMe.html
      My Library/ReadMe’s/english/index.html

Document includes minimum information. It may be not enogh.
I intend to make more easy tutorial if I can

you can find some presets at my personal web site:
  http://www.geocities.jp/nyankko15/DAZStudio/mirei/index.html
It includes material preset, light preset, camera preset ,document ,etc.

Very nice!   I think I have this set in my collection but no time to play much lately!

Looks cool!  Has it been updated to work with Daz 4?

Thank you for reply post.

Mirei is for DS4. it works for DS4.
But main outline feature don’t work for genesis still.
Main outline feature works for bebel, aiko3, V4 , and so on , except genesis.
Only sub outline feature works for genesis still.

I saw an article in old forum

“I can’t find how to change skin color”.

an easy way to change skin color is
changing properies follow:

  color_mix_for_Iroai
    cmfI:  color
    cmfi:  Alpha

on sample skin preset,default

cmfI: color is set to orange
cmfI: Alpha is set 0.3

if you change cmfI: color to brown, white, blue, black
then skin color is change to such color.
like attatched images.

thank you for the tips!  it’s so great to see anime styles finally getting some attention here!

thank you for your comment.

Thanks for that I know I was one of the folks that asked about this.

Thnk you for your reply.

And there is another notes.

Usually apply preset under subfoloders of

My Library/Shader Presets/NyaNyan/mirei/

and not apply

My Library/Shaders/NyaNyan/mirei/mirei.dse.

even if it looks “Aply this First”

If you apply My Library/Shaders/NyaNyan/mirei/mirei.dse
then diffuse color , texture , opacity strength and map are cleared.

is there nobody who is interested in mirei shader any longer?

One challenge is that the other toon shaders came out and many people won’t see the difference with yours. I do myself, but I don’t think most others will.

Secondly right now these forums are broken so no one is seeing your updates. I would ask again after the forums have been fixed, that way your post will show up on the first page and people can read it.

I am interested in buying your mirei shader at the beginning of the next month (August 2012).
All the best.

Thank you for your reply.
I asked to DAZ3D to restart release Mirei shader by email on 16th June and on 8th July.
But I could not recieve any reply.

I purchased your product when it first came out, but you asked to have it taken out of the store before I had a chance to actually test it, so I assumed the initial release was flawed.

Has it been updated? Should I download a new version, or is the old one okay to use?

—Walt Sterdan

no new version. which i want to restart release is the same of old one.
I am sorry for inconvenient.
thank you.
