Introducing Photo Studio 3 - the next step in mesh lighting. Photo Studio 3 brings four new lighting rigs to give your renders balanced lighting or a dramatic flair. New features for Photo Studio 3 include a newly created gel light and two spotlights. Additionally, each of the light rigs utilizes geometry switching so you can easily change the type of mesh light used in any given scene. Four types of light rigs are included, with position poses, light intensities, shadow intensities, and render quality settings presets for each one. Total customization of each light rig is available in the surfaces tab. Each mesh light also comes as an individual light so you can create your own lighting set ups.
Also included are 45 light gel textures, and 44 new textures for the paper roll, studio and backdrop props.

*Photo Studio 3 (and 1 & 2) relies on the built-in Area Light Shader. Unfortunately, the Area Light is broken in the latest full release of 4.5
A new 4.5 beta with the fixed Area Light in it should be available later this week, with a full version release available next month.

Edit: new 4.5 beta with fixed Area Light here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/7959/
Plus the Area Light still continues to work in DS3 and DS4.0.3.47

Plus everything in both our stores is on sale at 50% off until Monday, September 17th

Here’s a few renders using the new mesh-based Gel Light

I love these lights.

Beautiful Renders scorpio!

Probably the biggest change in Photo Studio 3 is the ability to switch out individual lights with a single click. In Photo Studio 1 & 2 you where pretty much stuck with the types of lights I’d chosen in each of the light rigs. If you wanted a different type of light you had to switch to a new set of lights. If you had done a lot of customization on the lights position, intensity, color etc. switching out for a different set of lights could be a major undertaking. Now you can simply switch out each light as you choose while still maintaining all the same settings. Maybe a broad light will fit your scene’s needs better than a spotlight, maybe you want accent light to be a Beauty Dish instead of a Ring Light or maybe you don’t want an accent light at all. It’s all a simple one click change while everything else remains the same

Do these work with the UberLightKit Controller and/or UberEnvironment? Also, how well do they work swapping/adding UberSpot/UberPoint, or do these have all of the features such as falloff/gobo/barndoors that those lights have?

And yes beautiful renders, both promos and Scorpio’s

AWESOME! Always love your lights. Especially since they don’t take FOREVER to render like a lot of light sets tend to do.

And beautiful renders!

Edited to add: And I was wondering why Photo Studio 2 wasn’t working anymore. Now I know. :( Good to know a fix is on the way.

I have 1 and 2.
Will THESE work with DAZ 4.5?

I have a problem with Photo Studio 1 (haven’t installed 2 yet) and 4.5 due to a bug? with DAZ 4.5 and Uber Area Lights.
Love the sets.

EDIT:
  Nevermind, thanks. I see the note in the header.
I’ll buy them.

These lights are worth getting even if you have to wait a few days to use them.

Oh, I know.
I already bought them

Me too!.  It is a very worthwhile set, and a lot of thought has gone into it.  I am well impressed, and even more so when we get 4.5.0.121

Bought them! How will I know when the beta will be released that fixes the lights? I know InaneGlory said later this week but will I recieve some kind of notice or something?

It might be part of a newsletter, but i doubt it.  Keep an eye on the thread in the commons, it will probably be a sticky there.

That is what I am going to do anyway.

Does this kit use UberPoint/UberSpot and are the required? Can I swap any of them for UberPoint/UberSpot without loosing settings if not so I can extend some aspect of particular light(s)

Tarzan…..LIKE!  Sold…heading over to the cash register.

And a couple more using the gel lights.

Got it! Already had the first set of lights and am happy with them so couldn’t pass this opportunity up.
