What did you use for their uniforms?
This is just purely awesome!
Exoline Undergarments for Genesis 8 Female(s) and April Rain Undergarments for Genesis 3 Female(s)
Both are using materials from the Exoline set. (on the left is G8F and on the right is G3F)
The bed and blankets where simulated in layers:
1 - Move blankets out of the way (up)
2 - Move bed down enough to not be coliding with the character, and back to zero at frame 20
3 - Set the Bed as a dForce object
4 - Change Dynamics Strength : (Bed Frame = 0)(Sheet/Matress = 0.7)
5 - Run simulation (Character is now pressed into and deforming the bed
8 - Set bed Simulation to Freeze Simulation = Yes
7 - Set the Lower Blanket as a dForce object
8 - Place main blanket to a location where it will fall where you want it draped. (Just high enough to not colide with character.)
I ended up moving the character forward a little then having her move back to start location as the blanket fell (on the final version of the drape)
9 - Change Dynamics Strength = 0.9 and Collision Offset to 0.5
10 - Run Simulation (Character is now upder the blanket)
11 - Set blanket Simulation to Freeze Simulation = Yes
12 - Now repeat steps 7 - 11 for the Top Blanket
Now set up your lights and camera then hit render!
My homage to the airfield fight from Gamera 2: The Advent Of Legion!
Ooo, thanks for the play-by-play. It really helps as we all try to get a handle on this new tech.
I've found in my travels through dForce that multiple layered items don't always play nice together when simulated simultaniously. (Or even if they play nice, you get some strange poke through between layers) So simulating layer by layer and freezing the sim on the completed layers avoids some of the issues (and explosions) Plus it also gives you more control over what's happening between simulated objects.
The ability to look at the way a layer drapes and say, what if I move it a little this way... then drape again without simulating the whole scene again.
One thing to watch out for though : The "Clear" button on the simulation tab, will still clear everything even the frozen parts.
I found that out the hard way, and then reminded myself the hard way once or twice. I hope Daz changes that, sooner rather than later. Maybe a Clear All button that clears everything, and then leave the Clear button to only clear items that are not frozen.
When I created Priorities, I did it in stages, and combining as I went along. Giuseppe eating was the last character I worked on, and I used dForce on his shirt and jeans, using the timeline starting Giuseppe in a semi-repose floating position so the shirt would drape behind his legs. When I merged that file with the master scene, it brought him in at Frame 0. At least the sim wasn't affected and all I had to do was move the timeline to Frame 60, but it would be really great to have a one button solution to freeze both the simulation and final pose. It could be a real pain to merge multiple files each with a one of more dForced items. Maybe Daz will figure something like that out by version 2...
For something like that, you should be able to export the draping frame that you want to use as a .obj file, then load it in as a morph target on the clothing item in your main scene.
Couch rest
My first render for 2018...
Using Sakura 8...
I know. But I'd like a dForce solution. Not everybody knows how to create morphs for the clothing. A good skill to have, but a lot of extra work for a one off image.

This is a card from Space Fleet's Collector Card Series.
In this universe, starship crews are held in the same high regard as celeberties and athletes in our universe.
*edit* Fixed text typo (maybe the version one card will be worth some money one day) lol
When creating this, I decided to work at trading card dimensions (2.5" x 3.5" 300dpi)

And one more render for good measure. (This one is a pure render with zero postwork)

Volumetric light!
I got Zbrush recently, I love playing around with fibermesh.
The plant in the middle is a fibermesh creation. Woo.
Nicely done. I'm struggling to do anything more than mediocre human models in Zbrush.
Here's my first render using JoLab1985's new Mutomorph for G8F (Responding to Astrid Langford being a smartass)

This is the most recent comic in my Sladen Stories Series
Lots of cool stuff! Cant wait to see another post from deathbycanon. Daz Studio is really neat, isn't it?
Always been fond of centaurs. Picked up Centaur 7 a month or two ago, a bit late to the party.
Aww... it's never too late for centaurs! And she looks quite modern in her Boho blouse.
Wow, nice Wil, that looks really impressive.
And another comic.
using the new Mutomorph charachters
@JamesJAB, I can't stop laughing. That visual is just great!
@dragotx, My immediate response was, "Oh, h3ll no." I wouldn't want to be that girl, and I may still have nightmares... great job. I especially like her hand reaching forward, imploring anybody for help.
Playing about with getting a more non realistic result from Iray.
Would love to see your art posted to the Non-photorealistic thread.

Thanks! That's pretty much exactly what I was going for! :D
Oso3D, I love this. Can you give us a few words on how you set up the depth of field?
