So DS crashed again, with a different character with Cute Bob Hair in closeup at forum size before I could even render it. And again, this is a 1080ti.
The tattoos are amazing and are, I believe, geoshells (they show up in the Scene Tab) and they're usable on other figures. Here's Eva 8's back wings tattoo on Genesis 8 Male (sorry it's grainy, I stopped it early):
And here are two of Eva 8's tattoos on Victoria 7 (again, sorry for the graininess, I stopped it early):
When used with Genesis 3 figures you need to go to the surfaces tab on the geoshell and turn the "eyelashes" surface to zero opacity.
Did you restart your PC? Sometimes Daz crashes so bad on my machine that the only fix is to restart
What is the translucency set to here? This is the first decent pic I have seen of Eva! If you don't mind, could you do a render that shows off some of her skin detail? Like her hands up by her face? Maybe the high translucency of the promos hides these details, but the promos for Eva are extremely unflattering. She looks almost toonish in some of them, and that is not a good thing.
Does Eva Eva have large texture maps? Like anything over 10MB, that would suck down some memory and take longer to render. There might be some ways to help with the Bob hair, too. You could hide the viewport before starting a render.
How much memory do you have in your machine? If DS is crashing you might be exceeding the main memory, and the presence of a 1080Ti might actually make things worse, since the memory in the 11GB VRAM is mirrored in the main app.
So here is a quick test of Caitlin for Eva 8 who I like a lot! With Luke's jacket. She doesn't render super fast but at a decent normal speed. I think I'm giving up on Cute Bob Hair, at least for closeups... And below is pure Eva with Caitlin Skin which I think looks a lot better than her own skin...
I used her "Translucency Low" setting which is a Translucency Weight of .60 (her default is .90). Most of her maps look to run around 5-8 MB (which I think is normal for most G8 characters).
Looks like you can even use Eva 8's tattoos on Genesis 2 characters. Here's one of her tats on G2F Victoria 6:
You just have to select the tattoo in the Scene Tab then go to the Surfaces Tab for the tattoo and turn the opacity to zero.
Anyone know the yellowish outfit of her main promo
looks like it might be one of Aeon Soul's outfits- the bra top looks like the one from the Proxy outfit
Nice render. Which hair did you use?
Eva was taking too long so I stopped early. Also needed to add some lights to her eyes. Overall, nice skin and I really love her shape. Eva had a wardrobe malfunction with her panties so had to do a crop job
Love the eyes, really nice @wonderland
Very lovely @divamakeup Is this an altern8 formula?
Was planning on passing on this one, but looking at all of the great renders has made me rethink my decision. Not to mention I have some extra store credit to spend :)
Thanks @ALLIEKATBLUE
I'm really starting to like her and I'm probably the only one who likes her "orange" skin, but to me it gives her a nice tan glow, I like it! I'm really wondering if living in sunny LA has to do with it, but I much prefer it to some of the ashier/bluish skin I've seen on a few other characters or with some shaders.
Here is a partial screenshot of a render in progress with her skin with lips from the free makeup pack and a bit of the P3D morphs and the Advent Dress. So far I'm happy with everything except the Cute Bob Hair which I really think should be fixed. That hair should not crash DS on a computer with a 1080ti in close-up. I may try it at a farther distance, but for that I could use any similar hair. I really hope it can be fixed to work on closeups...
Oh and the pose is just a bit altered from one of the pose packs in the bundle.
I'm curious Wonderland what your specs are, CPU and RAM. I have a 1080ti as well. Daz doesn't crash too often for me, most of my crashes are due to dforce explosions.
Maybe it is LA. California is like a different country compared to most states, LOL. My big issue with the orange is that it seems to mask the texture detail, which makes it look less realistic and more waxy. Your renders haven't been as extreme as the promos, though.
But I definitely prefer the lowered translucency renders. The skin looks less noisy and grainy as well.
Nice! I’ve noticed that some lights look great in her eyes and others do nothing. But this can easily be corrected in post. I’ve also noticed that she can look totally different in each render unlike V7 who looked pretty much the same (but beautiful!) no matter who rendered her...
Yeah, I'll pull the trigger on this one. I SHOULD just dump it from my cart due to the 'outfits with heel' fetish that PAs seem to have, but I guess Daz has to keep the 'heeled shoes' ratio for women above 80%. 'Cuz you know that women back in medieval times all wore heels... (NOT!).
I definitely appreciate the offer the sales team came up with! At least for me, there were a couple of G3 pro bundles that I still didn't have that appeal to me, and the extgra 10% off since I've been a loyal Genesis 8 customer, plus the loyalty holiday discount, it's enough for me this time. Unlike Lee 8...
There have been better offers with a few G8 pro bundles, but this one wasn't too shabby.
If Lee 8 had been part of the Genesis 8 Pro Bundle offerings in the Eva 8 sale, that would have been nice, but yeah I get that he's still new, so that wasn't going to happen... I'll just be patient.
Treasa HD looks rather nice. And familiar somehow. Does anyone see a resemblance to some famous person?
Hello Everyone! Here is my usual test for all of the main characters that came with Eva 8. You can find the large version here: https://www.deviantart.com/renderguyny/art/Eva-8-Test-Large-775409370
Here is my basic pic:
Here's Era, she looks really angry but she's not - just being fierce. For real though, very hard to make her not look like she wants to set you on fire with her eyes.
I bought the Eva bundle even though I'm not excited by her look, per say, because I don't have a lot of the other bundles and the stuff that came with her, plus some add-ons, and two Gen 3 bundles I really like, as well as Teen Josie really ended up being an awesome price. I feel guilty spending money on any of it when I am so busy a lot of the time (and don't have an Nvidia Graphics Card :( ) but my willpower has disappeared this month... ha!
I tried lowering the translucency but I didn’t like the result. It looked too pale and the bump was too strong for closeups. I kind of like her as a slightly ethnic, a golden tan color or “orange” as some people see her. I agree the promo pics look too waxy. I always do postwork anyway, so these straight renders are just tests or preliminary renders. Also, I lowered it manually, didn’t use the presets which may look better than what I attempted.
It was the Cute Bob Hair in closeup that crashed DS, not Eva. I only have 16 GB RAM on my Windows machine, so that could maybe be the problem but that hair was the first product that consistently crashed DS for me. Did you try rendering it in a closeup?
Also, re: realism... All magazine photos are airbrushed and everyone fixes up their selfies these days and every woman I know uses foundation and products to reduce wrinkles and flaws so you rarely see things like pores in photos or in real life on women here. And, of course, this could be an LA thing. Fake tans, fillers, dermabrasion, Botox, high end facial products, laser, needling, collagen, hyalronic acid.... We may have a different “reality” than most people but it’s what's in movies and TV... Have you ever seen Sandra Bullock’s skin? Flawless! I’ve seen many celebrities in person and they look even better than they do in movies or TV. For male or older characters, I like more pores or wrinkles, but I like the women pretty perfect (but not waxy!) I may be the only one who likes Eva’s skin but I do (but not in the promos!)
We also have Christmas decorations and lights on palm trees and fake snow and even a plastic ice skating rink here so realism is not really a thing in LA LOL.
Beautiful render! Yeah, I couldn’t get a good smile on her either. Maybe she’s meant to be a badass..
I personally don't like straight renders as a final art piece so this is going to get a lot of postwork if I use it for anything, (and I didn't do anything creative with lighting, just a HDRI) but I really do like her skin! Her expressions, for me, were easier to do as angry or sad, I couldn't easily get a good smile that I liked, but I have other characters for that. I wasn't sure at first about her, but I do like her, orange skin and all!
Played with postwork on my iPad. Yeah, I know, now she’s REALLY orange, but I tend to do oversaturated art. Not final, just playing...
It is a bit more resource intensive than other hair I guess, but it's worth it. Here it is on Benita, rendered in about 35 minutes on a desktop with a 6gig 980 and 64 gigs of system ram. It has not so far slowed down my viewport or crashed DS.
Laurie
Wow, looks great. The two times I tried it, it crashed DS. It must be a RAM issue rather than graphics card issue, since I only have 16GB RAM. I wonder if I missed the window to get a good deal on RAM...
@jedijudd Tactical Assault Outfit with added textures.
My experience is the same as Laurie's; Resource intensive, slow rendering, but no crashes. I have an 8GB GTX1080 and 64GB of system RAM. (I doubled it back when Catalyzer was first released and crashing my system for lack of memory.) But man, that hair looks so good. It actually looks like hair!
@Wonderland, take a look at this thread on windows page files. If you increase the size of the page file, you may be able to render the hair without crashing. I'd recommend you increase your system RAM if you can, though. The page file works like an extension to RAM, but when you have to use it, things slow down a lot.
I gave up on doing any quick renders with the Bob, I used OOT's Rose Hair instead. Here's one of Eva 8, wearing the City Seduction Outfit and using a pose from the Fiery and Coy set included in the Pro Bundle. I used the timeline to dforce the pants. The white body suit is from vyktohria's Sexy Skinz - Modesty. It's applied to a geoshell, so I set the geoshell as the Collision Item and used the included morphs to adjust the glutes. It was a perfect fit without the bodysuit. I applied the Eva 8 Translucency Low setting via the icons, and Normals are On.
The image links to the full-size, 2k x 2.6k image.
That's just a cylinder primitive with excessive polys and subD to get the rounding. The background is the Studio Drapes set from esha, with the Iray Uber Base applied.
And for a laugh… after the daily changeover at Daz Midnight, the Purple Banner suddenly started showing up for me. About 24 hours after I bought Eva 8.
yeah, same for wonderland and I. Purple banner turned up just now. And now I can't figure out if i DID get the extra 10% when I checked out.
