Backlight is a specialized, light - reactive, hair shader that set that creates soft, natural looking hair in just a few clicks. Crafted to give the most natural, multi tonal combination of depth, undertone and luminosity.
Backlight requires the use of additional lighting such as overhead, rim, and back lighting.
Backlight can be used alone or with your favorite hair textures and shaders!!
Backlight can be used on any hair model that uses vertical UVs.
Backlight includes 80 unique specialized shaders:

20 of each: Blonde, Auburn, Brunette and Ebony. All crafted to produce the most natural looking possible undertone and highlights.
Also included are additional presets to add gloss, bump, and control the strength of the shader effect.

    This looks like it will be quite useful!  Looking forward to this one!

    looks amazing, but I think a before / after comparision would help

    Thanks No Nose - what exactly do you mean? Those side by sides I have displayed are the exact same lighting and rendering set ups ( nothing changed except for the hair shader) . Thats how different these shaders really are. Or do you mean applied over an existing set up like OOT or UHT?

     

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    Yes, please!!! I love all 3D hair and hair shaders. The more, the merrier! You can never have enough of either one. heart

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,741

    I agree, one can never have enough hair shaders.  This looks fabulous!

    I'm really happy to see that it works with UHT/OOT etc. Also pleased that the 2nd promo showed your lighting. I hope that saves you from answering some questions, since too many users still don't seem to understand lighting/lights behavior.

    Another insta-buy. yes

    @ForbiddenWhispers

    As I just added in the RealFit ring bikini thread,

    Always happy to see your new stuff.

    This looks like a great shader product. Can it do anything to deal with the issue that shaped spotlights used to backlight hair show the hard edges of the shape? (If you use a disc shape on the spotlight to backlight hair, the actual hard edged disc shape will appear instead of just the light effect alone, or square, or whatever shape is used.)

    Thanks everyone!!

    Thanks fastbike :)  Lighting is so tricky.. and some people can feel fooled because they can not acheive the same look as a promotional render.  So, I opted for pre packaged light sets that i find that give the nicest results and documented everything.

    Sadly no it doesnt.  I had to turn off  a "behind the ear light" from the boss lights in one of the promos for the exact same reason.

    This reminds me of Hair Lustre Shaders for Iray. Can you give us some more imformation to differentiate your new one, please?

    I just went and sprung for Phil's so that I could answer this question.  His are focused on translucency, and mine are much much more complex than that.

    Looks great - will wait for the release, then.

    @chevybabe25

    The product looks great but those renders are gorgeous!

    @ForbiddenWhispers

    A big thank you for using my hair in some of your promos!  Those look wicked!  You have been busy and it is all great stuff!

  • ThatGuyThatGuy Posts: 797

    I've always loved using Dimension Theory's Subsurface Workshop - SSS Shaders for Iray for the hair shaders it includes, but do find it limited and obviously you still have to set-up your lights and all to get the effect of the hair shader.  I think this product is a definite upgrade to it.  Can't wait for the release.

    Thanks for the comparison. They look nice.

    NIce, especially the compatability with UHT and OOT.  Given that you're posting here and not in the DAZ PA Commercial sectionm, I'm guessing that this will hit the store in the next few days?

  • chevybabe25chevybabe25 Posts: 1,318

    Thank you everyone for all the kind words.  I truly appreciate it!!

    Im sure Daz frowns upon anyone giving any hints at release dates.. so I plead the fifth :)

     

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,343

    HEY, where did all your promo images go too?  

  • chevybabe25chevybabe25 Posts: 1,318

    They are there Ram... I think it makes them disappear when you click on an email link .. so strange

     

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,343

    Seems so, that's just weird.  Not ever happened before.  Another cloud glitch I guess!  indecision

  • Joe WebbJoe Webb Posts: 837

    Wow, these look great. Another required tool.

    BTW some of those promo images are fantasic!

  • mmkdazmmkdaz Posts: 335

    wow, very nice product! How does it work with hdri? Does shader care the sourse of light?

    Thanks! These really require added scene/ spot lights.. I do not believe the dome on its own will give you much effect.

    A question about Backlight Hair Shaders nd Alchemy Hair Shaders - can they be use with ANY hair, even older ones for older figures - and most of all, can they be used with male hairs too? Or are they just aimed for the female hairs included in the promo?
     
     

  • ForbiddenWhispersForbiddenWhispers Posts: 1,435

    All hairs, with vertical UV mapping. Doesn't matter what sex the hair is used on.
