    Sharing for others who like this sort of thing .. this cart, including driver pose and tack, is a new freebie over at, well, the other place. Please don't judge it on my shortcomings ... I'm sort of between computers at the moment.

    Thanks, both for letting us know about the freebie, and for the very nice render!

    @Artini  Thank You!!

    WOW! so much talent here. Great artwork everyone. Thanks for the FREEBIES too,

    The level of imagination and the creative concepts that is evident here, is very inspering to artists and asset makers alike. They must be proud to see what can be done with the assets they have created.

    Looking at some of the work, you can see that a lot of thought went into them. Poses, placement, lighting motion or ambiance. Daz and content creators are happy to have artists like you to depect their contents in these creative and lifelike manner. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for sharing your artwork.

    I've been otherwise occupied for the last couple of weeks putting together my new computer. This was more for fun than as a serious work, but it's the first final product from it. Happy holidays, all!

    Now running a system with an RTX 3090/64 GB RAM.

    Yes, it literally took two weeks of installing content! And I'm still running into a few things here and there that I need to copy over. Congrats on your new computer also.

    I wonder if anyone could help me a little. I have just started using a new machine with DS4.21 on it. I have created the scene below, and it needs some infill light to highlight the character. The one thing you can't see is the 15million lumen spotlight positioned 100cm from her front. It should be like a small star has ignited there, but I can see nothing. Any clues why not? The overall light is sun/sky, but that shouldn't shut other lights off. Any ideas,please? I'm stumped.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Sun-Sky Only doesn't render spotlights, maybe use a ghost light instead?

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 5,062
    I did wonder, but it seems utterly irrational. And in 4.21 the ghost lights are multiplied by the opacity. Regards, Richard.
  • DoctorJellybeanDoctorJellybean Posts: 7,909

    Are you using the Public Beta, or General Release?

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 5,062
    The general release. Regards, Richard.

    You can also use the render setting for the basic HDRI and scene lights, but remove the HDRI image - I believe that then defaults to the sun/sky lighting, though I can't remember whether you get the full range of options of straight sun/sky. Worth a try though.

    That works, but you have to be aware of one problem. If you save the scene and reload it, Daz Studio will put the default HDRI back in, and your lighting will be wrong. You have to manually delete the HDRI from the Render Settings again.

    Use Dome and Scene/Draw Dome off and remove any Environment Map.

    @barbuilt

    I load DAZ Studio with a default scene that has no map with my default settings. When I make a scene that doesn't use an HDRI and save it then load it it still doesn't have a map. I am not sure what the difference is about my system as I have seen other posts saying the same as you. I use both 4.5 and 4.21 Beta.

    I can't reproduce your results. I created a new startup scene with Dome and Scene, Draw Dome off, and no HDRI in the Environment Map. When I saved that scene I had Render Settings checked as one of the options to save with the scene. I examined the scene file and there was no reference to any HDRI file in it. However, as soon as I restart Daz Studio, the HDRI is back in the Environment Map slot. I submitted a help request about this a long time ago, but the problem remains. I don't know what could be different for you. I am using 4.21.1.26 Public Build.

     I use the Render Settings Pane if that makes a difference.

    One of my first renders of UltraScenery made with Daz Studio 4.21.0.5 Pro.

    I have placed a white spotlight (150000 lumen) slightly above the yellow meshlight (prop with the emission material)

    and have used one of the presets from:

    Edit: forum does not take images, at the moment :(

    I tried some earlier and they failed, too.

    Let me say "Bye, nice knowing you all", in case the whole forum just plain dies. I think it has been in hospice for quite a long time already. It seems to be in even worse declining health this month, with bad icons, intermittent uploads, and infrequent notifications. It needs a heart transplant.  crying

    Yes, there's something up with the notifications! I haven't seen any in almost a week. I was wondering if everyone was just busy with holiday stuff or something.

    Speaking of light, I have not done much with it yet, but I did start testing that new Iray Lighting Environment item that some of us were discussing in the forum for that product. I don't usually use HDRIs so I can't speak to how it plays with Ultrascenery and HDRIs, but it adds to Sun-Sky - you just have to set non light parts to have 0 opacity but it does add light.
