Crystal Dragon Lair by David Brinnen and ForbiddenWhispers

I'm relatively new to Daz Studio, and I have a question about one of the products, as listed in the title: https://www.daz3d.com/crystal-dragon-lair

I would ask this of the creators of  the product, but as far as I know, the Daz forums don't have a method to personally message content creators.

Anyway, I would like to know how to use the 'Crystal Emitter' functions for both the Daz Studio and Poser versions of the product (just selecting the crystals, and clicking on the appropriate function doesn't seem to have any effect).

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Did you render the scene after using the material preset? Emissive materials are often not really visible in preview mode.

These particular PAS are frequently in the Commercial forum posting about their products.   This is their latest commercial thread

There is probably also a commercial thread about the product you are askng about  if you roll back far enough in that forum

edited to say I found it

@Leana: I'm pretty sure I did (selected the crystals in the scene, then applied the material).

I am using Poser 11 (and Daz Studio 4.1), P11 in the 'Final' auto-render move, and Daz using Iray of course, but both didn't give the emisive effect, but I'll try playing around with it again.

@Chohole: Thanks for the pointers; I'll wait a day or so and, if I can't get it working, ask again there.

The cyrstals in the crystal cave: the emitters aren't the crystals themselves. There should be an object called "Tclp_Crystals Emitters", that needs to go inside the crystals, then you apply the emissive materials to that.
