Sorry if it was already here, I didn't read all pages, but now I noticed something. When I use an UltraScenery scene, Iray Matte doesn't work for me. When I hide the ultrawscenery scene, the IrayMatte part rendering well. When I turn back it on, DS crash ... is this a known problem? Or maybe just for me?
UltraScenery is good for everything.
My attempt at: POOF
Sorry, I do not have an answer,
but what is an IrayMatte?
Haaaaaaaaaa... I am a----waaaaaaaaaaaaake now :) Made me laugh... lol. I guess one can create anything with US... LOL
Thank you... Got it! also... Thanks for the Cameras... I'm sure they will be put to great use ;)
It is good for ghost lighting. Advanced property in the parameters tab .. there is a script somewhere to add it. So in this case you can set it on, use emission on the surface and you don't see the light emitter only it lighten the scene.
I don't know if this will help, but I have a persistent issue where any custom shaders show up as black for no discernible reason. The workaround I've found is to save the scene and reload it--for some reason, DS will then correctly process the custom shaders (but any new surfaces with custom shaders will require the same workaround, even if they use a shader already loaded in the scene). Fingers crossed.
Thanks for the explanation. Will be nice to see a render of UltraScenery with it.
Thanks. That was my intention.
Another attempt: POOF with the horse and the cart.
One more: POOF land
Mission accomplished then ;)
Oh my that is lovely :) VERY realistic!
Haaa... One simple word and the whole land is movin'! git it??? lol.
POOF land
I think only Artini would dream that up. 
That is a super render!!!!
@3D-GHDesign Can you give more details of how you are constructing your scene so I can try to duplicate the problem? Or better, attach a scene file here for others to try. Make the scene as simple as possible while still demonstrating the problem, so people don't get too many errors about missing files.
Aw, thanks! That one was from a couple of months ago when the Western Trains first came out. I had it in my gallery, but I don't think I posted it anywhere on the USC/USXT threads. I humbly think it was the best of my USC/USXT "Sun-Sky on the outside"/Indoor lighting hybrids, and - although off-topic here - also one of my best Face Transfer characters
will check with other scene ... I just created a simple scene, the pond feature with Oasis 1 and put the figures and a stag, I created a geoshell for the antlers. Later tried with duplicated antlers and one of them was the iray matte. But instant crash when I tried the iray preview. At once I could render, when I hide all ultrascenery scene, but later it was crashed anyway.
Edit ... Just tried and nope, not any problem. I had 4 figures (however hidden) in my scene with other props and the srag .. so many some combination caused the problem, because now I tried with a newly created scene using same features and ecology and even when OI loaded the stag with fur, still could make iray matte for a sphere so ... sorry ... only my scene was wrong.
Unless you have a really powerful computer/graphics card, it is not a wise idea to use Iray Preview with UltraScenery. Iray Preview does not pay any attention to the Instancing Optimization Memory setting and gobbles GPU memory for every single instance in the scene. It is like you changed Instancing Optimization to Speed, I think.
yes, I ray preview is slow, but I usually hide everything except large trees to see where I can put my figure :) Now I used 4 figures and the stag, so it was important - and for lightning ... it is not the same if I hide the trees. Good to know that iray preview don't pay attention to this setting (however I already forgot to change it to memory :D )
Your wish is (eventually) my command ...
This is two USC scenes spliced together. For snow, I've used the plane-with-a-shader technique that I used with the original "snowy river" render a few weeks ago, plus mostly Materia snow and some MARSA snow.
Oh this is lovely... I wondered about the snow shader too... I've got it on my wishlist. Thanks for sharing!
It comes with a nice snow shader - that's the shader I've used with the ordinary plane that's doing all the work in the background. I've only watched the first of several videos that the vendor was nice enough to create for this product but basic usage is simple enough. What I did here was create several 10x10m primitive planes, draped them over the bank into the river and then ran the stock 10m plane preset that comes with the product on each of them. It does seem prone to crashes - maybe it's due to running it with two USC objects, maybe it's inherently fussy. But just be sure to save often.
Thanks a lot for the comments, @Llola Lane and @barbult
I am somehow inspired by the posts in Daz forums.
Very well constructed scenes, @paulawp - nicely done.
Thanks for all the tips about US
Oh I've not read all this thread yet and didn't see this railroad artwork. I have RR on my list 'to do' ... I need to work out your tutorial first though Barb. Ditto what Thomas said.. Thanks for all your help!
I don't see your changes. Did Richard edit them away? I'd like to see what you did with the image.
I appreciate the tip. I'll remember to try it out the next time I work on that scene. I think I saved it, though I kinda set it aside to deal with "later" if a suggestion like this came in.
As a side note, I forgot about the 1st of October sales and missed my chance to pick up the Tropics bundles for USC and UXT! $1.99 apiece, if Daz-Deals' price history is correct. Can you believe it?
