Thank you Stefan!
Edit: I was selecting the group, not each instance, so the Instance wasn't showing up under Display.
What are node instances? Should I turn those on for the backdrop- what do those do? EDIT: Never mind. Don't know why nothing happened the first time I clicked them ON, but they showed up the second time.
Glad you got it sorted out, Novica!
Here's another. I removed the instanced leaves in the front and added bear cubs. Only the one in front is LAMH and it added almost a minute to the render time. A whopping 3 1/2 minutes.
I love scripts..now. :)
Thanks for the picture - sometimes pictures are clearer than words.
(and yes, poke the PA, pretty please)
I must admit Fern Lake is better than I hope for...excellent textures. Applied Sub-D and Push mod to some close up trees, adjusted the water shader to suit my tastes. Adjusted Stefan's old Castle Ruins. Lit by HDRI.
Nice one Pete , looks like a late summer day in forgotten old garden , nice accent with the Castle ruins
Thanks Cath. Yeah it needed something extra and something I have never used before.
That looks REALLY nice, Szark!
Knittingmommy thank you. I thought about doing some post work on it using Nik tools but thought better of it just to show the raw result.
I'm blown away by the quality of this set. I wish I could have gotten this kind of realism out of Vue. lol
Tried to replicate a dusk feeling to my lighting and quickly catching a photo of a hawk before she swoops off.
Bought a couple of Animals in todays Sale to let them roam...
Do either of these sets load with any HDRI or lights of any kind? I played around with them a bit last nite but couldn't find any reference to lighting in the setup but when I loaded a light set from Iray worlds it didn't make a difference, I merged it into the scene and couldn't find it in the scene tab to adjust and the skydome was still the standard one that loads, so I tried changing the image in the render settings and then it just rendered black. Obviously I am doing something wrong, can anyone tell me what steps to follow to add lighting to these scenes? Other than not knowing how to add lighting to this set, the Fern Lake did render initially with just the standard lighting in iray in about 3 minutes for me
I used an HDRI from Another Set (I belive Crescent Cove)
@Will, I will try the sun/sky which I don't think I have played with yet
@Renomista did you load the duf file or just change the HDRI in the render tabs as I tried that and it rendered black on my
nice soft ambeint lighting, creates a really nice mood.
I finally got my video uploaded after 3 days of fighting my abysmal internet
first iray then OrDS then OR4C, lushed it up with replicators may try making duplicates for the instances another day
Crestcent cove comes with dufs(?) in the Lighting IRay Exteriors Category. I used that. But these are only Render Presets. So loading the HDRI and maybe tweeking a xouple of other parameters should do the job also
Wow fool
I've been hypnotized on an endless loop flying as an insect through all the Fern Lake. Bravo!
Great clip and great show to grasp all the possibilities.
Excellent products Stefan! ...and Cath, thanks a lot.
Here's an Octane for DAZ Studio render of Fern Lake (my first one, I'm slow).
Great stuff Stefan, as always, thanks!
Wow that was impressive!
