Double checked and that's the oldest one period besides Poser itself not that much before.

But there are things like the Baryolax Expansion by JoLab1985 but not the Baryolax itself

Genesis 2 creature creator packs but not the HD versions

Genesis creature body morphs but not the head morphs

A lot of Big Cat 2 stuff but no Big Cat 2

Sickleyield and Fuseling's Wonderous Creatures for G2F and Creature Creator but not Awesome Creatures for G2M

Ringlets for the Toy Pony, but not the Toy Pony itself though RawArt is well represented in this sale.

These are just the ones that seem odd to me given the way the rest of the sale is set up.

I uploaded my Faery and it looks like there are all kinds of creatures around her after it was dreamed about.

Have fun 

Anyways I was trying to find some helpful tutorials on youtube and came up empty handed. Can anyone direct me to some tutorial vids?

I just need to know the basics. I can take it from there.  http://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-modeling

Also how big is the impact of mesh resolution->subD levels and mesh smoothing->smoothing iterations for render time?

Has anyone made any of the following? 

Dream
Mandy Moore
G2F/G3F version of Britney
G2F/G3F version of Christina Aguilera
or any other updated pop stars?

Just curious...

Thanks

(wanted for poser)

1. The set appears to be IRay only. I do hope this is not a sign of things to come.

2. There is no mention of being able to hide walls. I've brought this up before (as have others) but it also seems to be the way things are going. The acute camera angles in the promo suggest that wide angles are necessary in order to fit the content in a scene. 

Going through an alphabetical listing kind of defeats the purpose of having clothing for different Genesis figures. Ditto with those scenery props and lighting settings. Sometimes I don't remember I have an item until I see it when it's grouped with my other items.

Simple question about the new IDG Iray Hair Essentials Shaders:

Is this product much different from this: UHT Hair Shaders for Iray?

Or is it enough to have one of these shader packs?

 now obsolete post edited and removed by user.

 

 

 

Man why do you do this?

you edit and remove them on the Otoy forum too, browsing old threads for info it drives me nuts 

The short version:

- I edit threads because some forums do not grant its users the right to delete posts themselves.

- If you see a post edited by me you can be sure that it did not contain any vital information that is not covered in another place on the forum

The longer version

There may be several reasons that lead to the same end result of me editing a post to remove obsolete information:

- 1) Posts about outdated workflows

With each software version update some workflows are changed.

Guides, tutorials and FAQs now may contain outdated information with screenshots showing UI options that are not anymore available or are now named differently. When someone made a new and more updated guide of the same workflow it seems reasonable to remove the outdated now obsolete information.

- 2) Cutting down on the forum drama

Sometimes in an emotional state it seems very important to vent and share opinions. A few hours and sometimes minutes later that post is regreted because I am aware that it will just lead to follow up posts.

- 3) Company policy

Some companies do not allow their staff to participate in public discussions on forums at all because personal opinion could be taken for company opinion.

Such a strict policy would go to far. Nevertheless some people have the tendency to actively look for statements that can be taken out of context and then turned into a headline even months or years later.

- 4) lenghty forum posts

Personally I prefer to rather take my time to explain a situation in detail looking at things from different perspectives and then drawing a conclusion. Nevertheless it also takes other people time to read trough them.

- 5) edited posts do not show up in forum search

Unfortunately some forums have not very advanced search options.

Examples:

- It may not be possible to show only thread or topic titles instead of individual posts

- It may not be possible to show only the first 300 letters of a post

- It may not be possible to show only posts of a certain time period

- - -

Each edited post that removes obsolete information is a contribution to the forum search efficiency because users are not anymore presented with outdated information.

- - -

The right to forget = the right to delete

In the law there is a practice that crimes comitted in the past are removed from public records after a certain period of time.

Users should have the right to delete their own posts from public forums.

Personally I would very much like some advanced forum editing options

-  display all posts in a link list with only the first words of the post

-  add checkmarks to posts

- delete the selection with the click of one button.

Alternatively:

- add the option to delete all posts with the click of one button

- add the option to delete posts older than six months with the click of one button

- - -

I do not know if it would be possible to add such a delete option to the current forum software.

What I wonder:

I) Can users submit a ticket with the request to delete all  their posts on the forum?

II) Can users submit a ticket to delete all their posts older than six months?

DS search function shows nothing. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks

Trying to get my head around lighting once again.  I really need lighting for promos so can't have shadows on things.  I did a bit of fiddling and made some use of Vittorio for V4... yea remember him?  LOL  Wearing my outdated Bruno textures but still looks OK when I converted the textures to iRay...

So the light set up is using a Distance Light as the Sun so using the Sun-Sky Only option with Dome Mode set to Infinite Sphere w/Ground and have the Draw Dome set to off so I can put a background in there.

SS Sun Disk Intensity: -0.13 seems to removed all traces of shadows but can't seem to get the skin to look a bit brighter and more alive. 

Any suggestions?  I wanna keep it simple and don't want to use a store bought set as they just make things more complicated for my limited knowledge of iRay based lights. 

Thanks!

Err, I've just noticed as was checking what have is correct as I copied the "DAZ Studio 4.6 Pro" from my backup of the keys.

It now says: "Daz Studio 4.x Pro [Free]", although the keys/numbers are still the same.

So as well as my first question above, any reason for the update, and especially with the inclusion of "Free"; seeing as that suggests alternatives.
