I just uploaded this in my gallery last night. The theme for the New Users contest is posing this month so I started a new pose to go with my collection of wolf poses I've been working on. This was one of my test renders in Iray. I just love AM's Wolf 2. I'm still tweaking the pose, but I loved how this looks so much I ran an actual render and turned on the vignette up to about 58%. I thought it turned out really nice. I'll be glad when Kendal and AM update the LAMH to, hopefully, be able to save the exported FiberHair inside DS so I don't have to re-export it every time I have to shut down DS for the night and then reopen DS later.
Another from my After series:

It's flagged for 'violence/gore' for some bones on the ground. I'm not sure it needs the flag, but I think it's only polite to err on the side of caution.
Mildly grunge version of Night Bar.
Makes one wonder what he was doing all night and what happened to all of the other customers!
I like renders that inspire story. :)
love the drama
It certainly does that!
Me, too. As soon as I saw this in my test render I knew I had to run a new one. Saved that out as its own scene, too, so I can go back to just that setup if I need to. I love happy flukes!
Been wanting to do a Robot Jungle for a long time, finally came together.
ASN-4, AT Drone, DA Palm Island extensively reworked... wooo...
..either he's a really good comedian and totally "killed the house" as they say or a really bad one and they all died of boredom.
Knittingmommy, wow, striking image with the wolf, lots of mood and drama. The framing works really well here IMHO, with that snow-dusted expanse of lighter ground focusing the eye to the wolf--who is staring right back! I've been sort of vaguely thinking I might get that wolf, and you basically just closed the sale for me here! (thanks, Gen says. Ouch his wallet says.
)

Another night with nothing to do but recreate parts of my hotel room. The lamp was from last night, the coffee maker was tonight. Thank god I'm checking out in the morning, next on the list was the toilet.
...did it have the paper strap around the lid that said "Sanitized for your Protection"?
Kyoto: No it did not. I didn't need a gun, whiskey bottle or a ransom note in this render because.the in-room coffee machine was more dengerous and edgy than any of that. The toilet would have likely violated the forum terms of service so good thing I got out!
Looking at various building models, one thing I kept debating was 'I wonder how well I could just fake decent looking buildings?'
Thanks to FilterForge... not that hard!
I was surprised how well bump/normal worked in this shot. I doubt it'll hold up to a close view (I'm going to test that next), but considering it's just a simple plane, I'm really happy.
Cool!
Love that scene! Nice, Will!
From the smile on his face, he might have thought he was funny, but I'm thinking probably the latter! :)
It is a great model to work with. Alessandro does great work with his animals. If I ever get all of the poses done that I'm working on, I'll be offering it up in the Freebies section. Personally, my wallet cries everytime Alessandro comes out with a new animal. I just saw that he was working on a new elephant!
I'm not sure I could have handled that, too! It looks just like the coffee maker at the last motel I stayed at.
I would never have guessed that was just a plane! I have FF, but haven't tried anything like that before. It looks very nice!
If you do a search for Buildings or something in the filters, there are a number of options that can do nicely. Though I've had to do a little photowork to get them where I want (mainly masking over stuff, nothing fancy).
I'm having some decent results with Displacement at SubD5, which is pretty impressive. Again, Iray's displacement is trickier than 3DL, but... so far so good.
'Guilt and Regrets'
G3F with V4 UVs (CaymanStudios geografts)
Elite V4 Amy (Iray presets by DarioFish.) with eyes from Amaya for G7.
Aeon Soul's Tulip hair for G3F with textures from Mec4d's Unshaven 2
Smay's Face scars for G2M and body scars for G2 thanks to Valzheimer's Wear Them All and JM's Human Shader for Iray.
Mad Doctor for Genesis Male with Nice Doctor/Evil Doctor textures.
Spex by Sloshwerks
Worked some more on the 'textured buildings' thing. Turned out displacement worked just fine! Took a bit of image work to get the masks right, but hey.
I'm not ... thrilled with the street surface, but it'll do as an experiment.
Picked up Marius recently, tweaked a bit:

I'm really happy how well my free shaders work to fill in all sorts of random stuff, particularly when the lighting is high quality (that's more Painter's Lights at work)

Cityscape Flux
Used a lot of Stonemason's stuff in this one: Greeble City Blocks, Iray Clouds, and something else I'm sure. Postworked in Photoshop to adjust curves, levels, and saturation.
..Really nice very "Bladerunner". I have both the Greeble blocks sets and Utopia buildings and love how the windows work with the emissive shader.
Thanks! Yes, once I figured out how to use the emissive shader so it wasn't replacing the textures, my renders got much better.
Very nice render, lucidghost.
thank you! :)
Really nice, lucidghost. I recently broke those Greeble City blocks out, but haven't gotten anything near that good yet. Still playing with them. Did you use the orginial textures and just hit it with the Iray Uber Shader or did you redo some texture work?
Thanks! I just used the Iray uber shader on them since Stonemason's textures are generally top notch and convert well in Iray. Although I did use Dzfire's Real Iray Lights for all the emissives on the windows.
I've had fun going back to the Greebles and retexturing. Alas, they fall apart when you add subd to the model, but otherwise... it's pretty cool. It even holds up to close, zoomed in views, although it can get trick to arrange surfaces that look good close and far.
(This is actually one area where 3DL has a better solution, with some of it's shaders that have large and fine scale displacement maps)
Oh, and here's some stuff I picked up: The Tentacle (yet again), Giant Fantasy Spider, Creatures of the deep, FW Joanie HD, Victorian Storefront. (I also nabbed the shader from Let it Snow to retexture the snow)

So after extensive testing of different options, the easiest way to get a properly fitted bodice is using Ultra Bodysuit with spandex options. Fit the dress (or top) to the bodysuit, collide with the figure.
