To Colm Jackson .. a comment on your product descriptions

daveso

Hi Colm ..I noticed you list the products that you use in your production scenes for your characters. Thank you very much for doing this. It is a great service to your customers for sure. 
Your work is fablous as usual, from  a customer at RDNA since pretty much the day that site opened.

Suck up/ brown noser, LOL

I never really noticed many of Colm Jacksons produbts other than TerraDome and his lighting products, but just saw quite a few nice looking characters also. Might have to pick up a couple.

I like his Render Studio 2.0 & Cinema FXs products.The instructional PDFs were decent that went with them too.  I'll probably buy more of his lighting products too but alas I'm too poor to get tempted into buying all of it. My favorite lighting products that I've bought.

Seconding Render Studio 2. I like it very much. It's not a ready to render set (unless you like the production scenes and buy them as well) but I find the individual lights useful and easy to use.

I also like the Bokeh Studio but the bokeh images are all greyed out at the ground. Means you can't do full body shots unless you want to render with a grey background. In the promos the full body shots don't come with a grey ground so I don't know how I should setup the scene. The pdf guideline didn't mention this. I wanted to contact customer support but I forgot. Mental note to myself: ask customer support how to work with Colm's product ...

Didn't it include a PDF? If you want the ground to be the same bokeh as the atmosphere then set to texture materials for the ground to be a mirror. You might like it but I find that makes it too much.

If the rendering scene is Sun-Sky lower the horizon height to be negative numbers and that will make the bokeh extend to look to be closer to the model's feet.

And it looks like DAZ finally have fixed an annoying DS (or Iray) bug that was introduced in 4.10 and which affected the Infinity Cove that comes with Render Studio 1 & 2.  Cool.
