    it doesnt mention shader type, what's the default these days?

    thanks

    I doubt it very much since there is a G2 to G3 Pose converter in store might give some indication of no..  As for the shaders as all the promo pics are done in Iray my guess they are Iray Only..

    thanks.  bummers

  • I just got this & yes its iray presets only & G3 poses - As I wanted the archery set the lounge worked out at just $3.06 so it was a bargain for me plus I usually  use iray anyway

    Yeah I was gonna get it and the archery set until I saw they were only G3 and slammed hard on the brakes. I think she's mostly doing G3 only now... Pity. :(

    Well, OK so it is primarily IRay; but will the spa & lounge work at all in 3DL?

    You would have to roll your own presets, but since it is all map based textures...they should work.

    question for someone who has this, cos I'm confused - I loaded the preload (NOT the 'ready to render' one), and it loads all black and there are 'lights' on hte ceiling. Now, I'm new to iray so stuff like this confuses me...I can't actually find any lights in the set, so I'm assuming those "lights" in the ceiling are emmisive? How do I turn them off? I bought the set cos I wanted to use bits'n'pieces of it, and the room.....but the room doesn't load on its own. Only as the preload, or not at all. I'm trying to figure out HOW to get JUST the room itself, and without those "lights" in the ceiling.

    To turn off those lights you need to click on the roombase & in the surface tab go to light_032 textures & change the emmission color to black but when I test rendered it without those lights on to me it looked like holes in the ceiling so perhaps there is a better way to do it  I attached the image so you can see what I mean.

    I can't find a way to load just the room  either but I suppose you could delete all the extras & resave it as a scene subset

    Interesting to have the render come out like that is really all wrong, since if they were off they should be the colour they would be when they were on..  They should be a frosted white colour and not dark like they are in the picture, or if they are clear they would need a silver backing to simulate the reflector that are usually in those types of lights..

    Yeah, I thought of doing that, but the problem is when you load either of the preload scenes it's all black, you can't see a thing except the white lights shining, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to SEE anything and just have the stupid thing load WITHOUT any lights. I'm really not happy with this set at all. 

    As for using it in 3delight....I've got no idea how to do that, cos of those damn lights.

    That's rather typical for Iray indoor scenes. Press CTRL+L to turn on viewport lights. Or doesn't that work either?

    make sure the  camera headlamp is on auto then add a headlamp blocker.  That will give enough light to see things in preview mode

    Just for quick test, changed render engine to 3Delight.
    Changed ceiing light surface to omUberAreaLight and added a UberEnvironment2 dome.
    No other changes to the shaders yet

    I realised that adding a different shader on the lights part got rid of the black holes effect in iray - Glass shader looked wierd but in Nvdia MDL Examples noise perlin glossy with the colors changed to white is a possibility but I suspect this would take a very long time to render properly so not sure I would have the patience to get it right but that says more about me than the product :)

    This works on the set for me - You can also see it in perspective view which is OK for deleting stuff, just not for the final render

    It's updated in DIM, but the readme - as usual - does not show exactly what the update is. If it's just metadata, i'm not really interested...just wondering if anyone else knows what the update is?
