Has anyone bought SC Rain that can share a render or two of her? The promo images are quite grainy and I'd really like to take a better look at her skin texture before deciding if she's a character I want to purchase.
If anyone who has her could do a render or two, that shows her skin better, and share it with us, that would be great! Please!? :D

Just did a really quick one while you wait for the good ones to come in. Forum wont allow a larger version. Standard lighting (rim, side, front etc). I like the detail under the eyes - not sure about cheek texture although postwork would work well maybe.
Someone else should post a better version (I've gotta go out so cut the render short!)
Nevermind, duh. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay at the very end and the bottom of a column I see it says 'bonus backdrop'. So that answers my question about that.
It's in my cart but not purchased yet. Looking at other Second Circle product promos which seem less grainy, the textures look really nice, so I will trust that this will be too... And, of course you can always return it...
Thank you! I appreciate you posting a more detailed render of her. :)
no lights used the blood is an add on makeup and that's her horror character skin tone rendered in iray but the hair had to use the 3dl colours, the iray versions something not working with them 1st pic is with the 3dl shaders 2nd iray shaders both were dark colours at 80% colour was right then went this way this is with the new beta and 1080 cards
Huh. That's strange. It almost looks like the hair is an emissive.
First render I did with her
http://sta.sh/01886ozu6kb2
in the second one I was adding the N.G.S. shader
Still have to do some with the bloody skin.
thought I'd give her another try this time in the last full version of daz which is only cpu rendering for me on this computer thought maybe beta version glitch or my 1080 cards had trouble with Bethany 7 figs first two days then ok but in another render that had 30+ characters one kept turning into fem version of slenderman but it's turning out the same, doesn't matter what colours I pick or if I use both the BS hair (guessing that stands for base/roots of the hair) and the normal hair together or just either one on it's own still turns out the same, so at the moment it looks like best to use the 3dl shaders for the hair for iray renders. Oh and in my renders except for size and most of the time noise filter enabled I've left settings for default
ok don't know why thought of trying this ok so these tests were done not adding any lights so the only lighting was the default preview lights, well just did a quickie using lights from Elianeck Dramatic Lights For Iray and the hair was how it should be
Here´s the rest of the Lost Urchin Halloween Bundle
Rain and her Sorrow Hair in a rather different, perhaps happier, probably just as bloody timeline. Along with a lot of other new acquisitions. Lighting is direct from Render Studio base.
was just thinking about everyones Rain renders she reminds me of Fred in Angel after she was taken over by that demon goddess in the last seriesbtw has anyone had any problems with any of SC's characters or any others in the new Daz Beta? Rain so far been ok but with the others tpose is fine but then when applying another pose they distort warp like crazy arms and fingers extremely long and warped when seperate at least loading all of them haven't got the elf one yet, posed them again and they were fine again ahd problem with Bethany 7 and her charcters too with files missing then was fine again but now it's SC's characters and now they're fine again for now as I type this
The new beta? I've read some comments about the beta messing with some things, so you are not alone. I'm totally avoiding it. Is it possible to get the previous beta back? Or does Daz "conveniently" delete any past versions of their software?
You would need to contact them to get a previous version.
well if I want to use my new 1080 cards I have to use the new beta no choice there and I like my new cards/computer otherwise use the previous full build and render via cpu only or use my laptop with its 850m card and I've bought a lot of stuff since using the new one so it'd take ages and use my monthly internet easily maybe 2 months worth installing the new stuff on my lappy
I'm not using the beta, still using the normal version, BUT I've had that deforming problem over the last couple of months with certain characters. I cannot pin down exactly what is causing it - my base G3F seems to be fine, and in the "currently used" in the parameters when I have a figure distorting/deforming, there are no extra weird morphs that shouldn't be there.
ok so when I was typing about this last night it was happening then when I loaded and posed again these ladies everything was ok again now I just tried SC Alice again and guess what happened again in beta so I loaded the previous full version same thing didn't have problems with her or any others before know had a lot of updates recently some other product maybe causing the problem? can that happen? first pic from previous/current full version of daz 4.9 second from new beta oh I have gotten a lot of the duplicate files found message
kinda would suit the horror version of Rain
I've no idea what causes it. I get it too, but haven't in a couple of weeks or so. It doesn't make a difference whether I load the preset character, or apply the morphs to a base G3F. I've tried: uninstalling Genesis 3, uninstalling ALL my characters, then reinstalling them. Still no difference. Then one week I try the same character again, and all is good and no deforming.
You could probably 'sell' that 2nd version as a standalone: very touchy-feely, but not in a nice way.
same with me jaki it is weird and yeah it she and the other ladies it happened to came right last night now back to this again got a lot of figs so don't know if any others playing up yet. LOL yeah jash she'd work well with creature creator 3 if it was around for some interesting humanoid creatures might be interesting with those zombie/vamp skins we got recently and got a few other g3f creature kinda textures I think
If you are getting Duplicate Files (is that exactly what the message says) do you have multiple copies of the product installed, possibly an updated and a non-updated version? The log file - Help>Troubleshooting>View log - should give the full text of the errors, plus file names.
Is there anything in the log file after the character goes all wonky?
I have those same poses and nothing is amiss for me on default G3F in the beta
Greetings,
I toss this out every so often when issues like that come up; are you seeing it in renders, or just in the preview windows? In other words if you have a deformed character in preview and you render, does it show deformed, or does it look normal?
If it looks normal at render time, it's probably a problem with your display optimization. Go into 'Preferences', select 'Interface', look down the dialog to 'Display Optimization'. It's probably set to 'Best'. Set it to 'Better' instead, and it should resolve your issue.
If it renders like that, then there's a morph or something behaving badly somewhere, and I'm no help. :)

Here's a big one (1736x3696), slightly grainy at places as iray stopped here, but I think the skin looks fine anyway. Click picture for full view.
Couple more...
Excellent! Thank you for the renders, guys! :D
well guys it is driving me batty there is no reasoning why this is happening loaded second circle's ladies in seperate scenes again and everything fine again Rain has been perfect Alice been the main one though happened to others too but mainly her it's only recently happening after beta release and happened in last full version. Now today started up and loaded Alice and it happened again after I posed her deleted her tried the others ok tried Alice again and ok again closed and retarted Daz tried again and still ok it's like daz has to be warmed up first for the day but not use Alice in first scene. Been buying downloading almost everyday outrider42 including those daz website hicup days which does happen a lot the first scenes I rendered in the beta were ones I created in the last/current full version one scene being having over 30 characters wanted to test compare times for my 1080 cards first day or 2 couldn't work on that one as the beta couldn't find the Bethany 7 content then it did and that is when Alice who was also in the scene started getting weird I'd previously rendered this scene in the last version via cpu with no problems. Ok Richard like you said it said that only for gf3 characters now I installed all my daz stuff onto my F drive which is 4tb + second one connected to it as I would quickly fill up my C drive if installed there which I have other stuff on like Z Brush. But I have noticed on C in my documents there is a a my daz library folder there too pretty much empty but in the my daz conect subfolder-data-cloud there is a ton of folders filled in each of their runtime folders heaps of textures for each thing I have.. Ok what else when beta was released and installed it couldn't see any files so I had to do the search hard drives for files option, also noticed got heaps of updates to install via connect but not showing in dim. The duplicate files message dosen't bother me to much just click ok and whatever loads just annoying but Richarrd & Mattymaz I've looked in the log file and something that comes up was Cakeone's Attitude expressions which I've used a lot and cannot locate Zevo Growin Up morphs now this is the weird one as I have a lot of Zev0's products but I do not have any of his Growing Up stuff and Alice as with most of SC's products I bought day 1 of releases and never had this issue which makes me think of some update glitch installed at sometime perhaps to product/s unrelated and is clashing. Oh CypherFox it happened in render too as I mentioned had a scene with 30+ charcters she was in and first saw her in the render that was processing and deleted her from the scene because of it. Now it's Look At My Hair plugin free player got reinstalled full one wont work with it unistall it then missing files it's like the progs beta and full are updating in background but not saying they are being updated. Oh don't know if this means anything but in my Saved Files section I have a few products appearing there as well as in the main section of Smart Content and these include Alice and the normal version of Rain
Do you use Connect? Maybe something has been corrupted if so; and if you don't, something still could have got messed up.
Revert to an earlier version of Beta; I did that yesterday as thought might have been an issue. And maybe there was, but will test when time.
Just remember, it's a beta release - there will be issues.
FYI: Unfortunately there are no legacy materials for this character.
