Hello, i was wondering if anyone has any good tips for using pweffects and pwghost. Im having some troubles getting them to look like what the pictures look like. Thank you.

What are your render settings? What are you getting when you use the shaders?

my render settings…man. i think i might have bit more than i can chew. i just hit the render button thinking it would do it on its own. im just using the default settings i guess.

Dude, I just went through this myself. The 1.1 installers are buggy and don’t work in DS4P RC3. Reset your downloads and get the 1.2 installers, which DO work.  Also, when you apply a shader/preset, you won’t necessarily see it in the preview window: on my machine, the affected object’s diffuse and ambient colors change, and I have to do a render to verify that the shader is actually working.

Hi
Something wrong here.
I have used this shader with DS4, (see photo) many times.
Now when I’m rendering in DS4,5, getting just a colored object (see photo).
What do you mean “1.1 installer”?, Sarsifus?
What is it?

1.1 refers to the version of the shaders which were updated to 1.2. Reset your dowloads and reinstall. I have them and they are working in DS4.5.1.6

Thanks, was quick!

Niceee!

Yes, works better than ever

To put a spotlight above the object, can make a big difference.
Would like to see some tricks, if someone experienced some unusual result with this shader.

I have only done two images with pwGhost. Page one, first image and page 7. See my sig for my render thread. I used pwghost and took this rendered layer in to Photoshop.

DAZ really needs to implement a product update notification system. Every time a new version of something becomes available, everyone who purchased that item needs to get an email about it, or a notification the next time they check into the store—SOMETHING. I get product update notifications from Renderosity and Runtime DNA—why not DAZ?

Simply put it isn’t ready yet but eventually it will come. I just keep paitent and hope it will be soon.

Just loaded the pwEffects bundle and it only works once then refuses to work again unless I save and close out daz completely open it back up an apply to a new character for example I can not use it on Two people in the same render. Will not allow me to put effects on stones or cubes or anything other than what is considered organic matter in the real world. They are the updated installers and I am running DS4 32 bit version any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am sure it is something simple I am missing.

You have to select all objects first in the SURFACES window.
I have made an example for you, with different objects.
I have DS 4.5.0.114
I also suggest to unistall the plugin and install it again (but I’m not an expert)

pwGhost 1.2 updated for DS4.5.
If you have DS 4, maybe you have to use the 1.1 version (just a guess)
