(dances) Thank you! I'm over the moon.
Lots of ideas for more shaders. One of my goals is to make shaders that are reasonably easy to use with lots of useful presets; one issue with the free stuff is that a lot of it was really confusing for anyone who wasn't me, even with documentation.
Thanks for the support and good vibes since I've been doing this, Diva.
...congratulations. These look great. Looking forward to more.
You're most welcome! The PA-ship? PA-ness? is much deserved! :)
The shaders look great! I'm looking forward to seeing many more products by you in the store!
Oh - you should add a link to your shiny new Daz store in your signature. :D I know a lot of PAs do that and it's helpful to steer traffic to your store.
Congratulations. It is well deserved .
Those shaders really look super
Congratulations, Will. The shaders look great.
Congratulations, Will. I'll take a look.
get off my areola
edited to add disclaimer: lol not MY areola, it was a song reference, people!
way to go! Hope sales are way up there for you!
Congratulation Will. Well deserved.
Congratulations. Shaders look great. Big step.
Great job Will! Congratulations!
Muchas Congratulations, Will.
Congrats,
Congrats my new friend. We shall now expect many great things from you.
Thanks, Will! Love the shaders.
Congrats, Will! These look amazing! Can't wait to play with them :)
Great news Will! So happy for you!
Will, question about the product (congrats btw)...
Can this be used to darken skin at glancing angles?
Yes, but note that the shaders do not have top coat. If that's important for your skin, that's a problem.
I think you'd be better off using the 5 color shader rather than the simpler shader. The 5 color shader can make sharper transitions, and you'd make iridescent color 1-3 or so white (which doesn't change the underlying tint) with maybe a ramp up from 4 into 5.
The fifth iridescent color sometimes doesn't show much (since it's almost perpendicular to the camera), so juggle a bit.
Gorgeous shaders and congrats!!! Can't wait to see more..
These look great, Will! Congrats!
Looks like fun I like the beatle render...
Hey, congrats! I bet these look amazing animated.
Gonna see how this works for a chameleon car.
I've been thinking of trying an animation of the beetle but I have very limited experience with animation.
I think that would be interesting... I never really thought of how beetles walk before. Research would be required to get the legs to move properly.... one benefit i guess though is that they more really slow...
A lot of insects do a triangle pattern. Like, right front and back and left middle moves forward, then mirror it.
I think millepedes and centipedes do similarly just replicated along.
Nice debut product! :) Congratulations!
Nice to see you made it to PA! well done shaders. this will come in handy at times :D
Congradulations Will. . I picked up the luminence shader today I haven't had a chance to play with them yet .. But animated bettle you say?! hmm...
I bet that's going to "bug" you the rest of the week...
Ugh; I hate typos...
