Anyone playing with NebulaFX - Modular Effects for Genesis 8 ?

https://www.daz3d.com/nebulafx--modular-effects-for-genesis-8

I bought it the other day because I was curious about it. I only tinkered with it for a few minutes, but it seems pretty fun.

Curious what you all are doing with it.

    It looks very similar to Materia plugin - https://www.daz3d.com/materia-meshmaker-plug-in-for-daz-studio

    so I have skipped NebulaFX at all.

    While both add geometry they seem to do so in different ways - Materia adds metaballs which flow together to form an irregular coating while Nebula Effects adds distinct, mostly or all regular, shapes to the surface.

    Thanks for the explanation. I did not noticed that difference, yet. Good to know.

    I have put NebulaFX in my wishlist, so I do not forget about it.

    Could you please, post some sample renders made with NebulaFX, since you have already bought it.

    I think, it could help me and potential other buyers, to see the product at a glance.

    I hope, you could present the product's advantages in the better way, than promo images try on:

    I have skiped this item, also because I do not like its promo images.

    Sorry for that, but I am very visual and if the author is unable to present the product

    in the more excited way, there is no sale for me.

    Weird that this, Materia and MARSA Elements all came out so close to each other

    Never mind and sorry for the asking, Bamboozler.

    I have read your post again and you do not want to post your own images,

    but have asked the others to post their own - my mistake.

    Actually it is pretty amazing and I have bought it and I am glad, I did.

    So far, at least for me, it is the easiest system to create some kind of the headwear.

    Below is an example on Zelarian from https://www.daz3d.com/zelara-8-pro-bundle

    NebulaFX could create some intriguing shapes, demonstrated here on Ardasin.

    With different shader presets applied, the possibilities are endless...

    I do not know, what it is, maybe a sculpture...

    It could easily be expanded, if needed...

    Are either of these good for soapy water? I have Iray Foam and Bubbles but it is hard to get the bubles where they need to be. Oops. forgot the pic. I need something that looks like this.
