I want ...

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

Any chance we could get someone to kick the store (lightly! don't want to break anything!) and get the Houseboat added to the vendor-store-discount?

It's one of the items I was super-hoping would come up while the sale was going on...

Thanks muchly!

As with all OOT products, there are many posing options but in this case there are some serious omissions: backwards movement. There are only left and right movement and adjustment morphs and nothing to take the hair backwards away from the face . This is essential for laying down poses, of course. 

Moreover, the gravity and movement morphs change the length of the hair. So If I have chosen one of the shorter style presets and apply a movement morph - hey-presto, the hair grows inches instantly.

OOT - if you read these forums, please comment. I still have a while before I need to decide whether to return the product or not.

By not having Aiko 4, what am I missing out on with these?  I can get her today for $4, so it's not a big deal, but what difference does having her make to the figures?

Also, how much difference is there between these 3 characters?  All I can really tell is skin tone.  Is there really a point to having more than one?

I came up with an idea for a  couple of "ethereal" characters, but I'm not sure if their looks can be achieved. 

Basically, the look I wanted them to have was slightly transparent, but with some sort of "glow". Either as an aura or a glow from the inside of the model.

I'm using DS3 Ghost Shaders from Sharecg (I tried them out on a Genesis model), but I just need to find how to do the illumination.

I haven't done surface illumination outside of Iray, so if there is a tutorial that anyone can redirect me too or if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. :3

Thank you.

Big thanks to Mec4d for polishing the shaders on these sets and thanks also to DAZVince for creating the multi layer Iray terrain shader

Cheers

So are they the same, or are they different? If the same, which is the more accurate manner of description? Thanks in advance for your feedback and insights.

I've been thinking about doing some art based on some 80's gradeb sci-fi/fantasy movies and the Samaruai Fantasy set Pretty3d just released is like really close from the movies, so I'm curious if they're influenced by the same.

Wondering what the issue might be with some recent render issues. I am trying to use i13 Private Party with 9 Genesis 3 figures. It always locks in the rendering ay around 15% and does not proceed beyond that. All these characters can be rendered easily in empty space, but once the scene is loaded the render locks up. There are no error messages - the render just stops at 15% and the elapsed time keeps running.

Are there compatibility issues with this scene (or older scenes generally) and Genesis 3 figures, or is it perhaps some other issue preventing the render?

Thanks.

Then today I noticed I didn't have the graphics card turned on in the render engine. Oops. Well that certainly made a HUGE difference. I don't know if this is better or worse than the time I spent a half hour trying to eliminate an artifact in a render only to eventually realize it was dirt on my monitor.

You have been watching your favorite Viking show, dreaming of walks on the beach.

Do you remember the TV show Emergency about an LA Fire Department Station.

Are you the Captain of an 1800's British Frigate battling the French or American's?

What about Fire and Water in space?

Post Alien attack on a planet far, far away?

Your objective should you choose to accept:

Create a scene in which it has Fire And Water represented in it.

Every subject which comes to your mind is allowed, fantasy, steam punk, sci-fi, or whatever floats your Fire and Water boat. 

The idea is to utilize these primitives more and showcase them in new ways.

This also allows any new competitors to have a chance to learn about these wonderful primitives.

Basic rules will be:

1. Each participant may submit up to 2 images into the Challenge.

2. Images must be new (previously unpublished).

3. Images must be primarily set up in Carrara.

4. Images must be rendered in Carrara or in an external renderer for which there is a Carrara plug-in (e.g. LuxRenderer, Octane).

5. At least one WIP (work in progress) image must be posted to the WIP thread (this can be as simple as the scene setup, a pre/post post-work comparison or just a final image with a brief description of  the process you used or as complex as modeling rooms shots, shader setups or partial scene setups or test renders).

6.  At least one object in the scene has to be modeled in Carrara

7. At least one object in the scene has to be a Fire or Ocean primitive in Carrara. For new users this can count as the modeled in Carrara object.

Note: New user is defined as using Carrara for under 6 Months.
