Won't install. No security other than the same ad blocker I've had for over a year now. Windows 64. What's odd is it installed the Orestes Witches Twighlight but nothing else. I have changed nothing to my computer settings or the install programs.

Hi everyone,

I can't agree more with those in this thread on how much fun and addictive playing with this script can be. Here is my latest render using a height map snapshot from Tangram Heightmapper at github. I was excited that I was able to recreate a favorite place that I would frequently visit while out riding my pony. If you're interested in a full listing of everything I used in the image, please visit my gallery.

When I re-logged in, the thread opened here and your image took my breath away. So beautiful.

I love those HDRIs Orestes does too. 

Hi @memcneil70

I'm glad you like the image. I think UltraScenery and Orestes HDRIs are a winning combination. Here is one more using an Orestes HDRI.

Trish

Gorgeous renders, Trish! 

Thank you @Divamakeup!

Gorgeous renders, Trish! 

I am a huge fan of Orestes hdris for skies; they are high quality and 'clean'.

Seconded. I use these and Cloudscape almost exclusively for outdoor scenes.

I am having an awesome time rendering different landscape scenes using Ultrascenery. I have a recent image in my gallery I created using a custom heightmap. I also decided to share one using the base settings of the script and Orestes HDRI from their Vega System package. Let me know what you think!

I agree - I have some rather poor HDRIs (from other vendors) which disappointed, but I like the Orestes ones.

Edit to clarify.

And you just made a future sale for Orestes Graphics - somehow I missed that set of HDRIs. Lovely image.

Hi @MelanieL

Thank you for the compliment. I just realized that I chose the wrong Orestes Graphics HDRI package in my list of items used for the image. The HDRI in the image is from the Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes Vol 4 package, orestes-sky-sunset06-488.hdr.

Trish

Ah, thanks - I'll have to wishist that set too. (I have about 8 Orestes HDRI sets but neither of those for some reason - maybe I was short of funds when they released)

Anyone else been hanging around this thread, eagerly awaiting the release of the latest update? So many great renders to see! Thought the winter oaks could use more love. Coast preset with yet another Orestes HDRI.

Working through recent purchases I test drove Muelsfell Vast Ocean and used two of the options. I was stoked, so easy! Two water planes, and others for under the water and above. I added Oso's Pixie Dragon, the Tusker Skull and the great Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes - Vanilla Evening. So the purple dragon turned sandy.

Click below for a larger image. The original was too large for the forum.

I used Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes https://www.daz3d.com/orestes-iray-hdri-skydomes-summer-day for the lighting & sky in this render. I also used the sand pit & placed a plane primitive behind it for the water. I think later on down the road I'm going to pick up a few more Orestes HDRI packs. The lighting looks great and they seem to render a bit faster.

The toes in the sand are a nice touch!  You'll get a good variety with Orestes. :) 

heh, I just decided to sink her down a little since there's not enough geometry on the sand pit to use a Dformer on it around the feet without either scaling the character up or scaling the sand pit down which probably wouldn't work for the camera shot. Its the first time I used these HDRIs so I'll have to play around with them more. I do like the fact that I don't have to mess around with spotlights & primitives to achieve acceptable lighting. Later on I might try using terrain from everyday morphing primitives.

Now I just have to figure out how to give the character wet skin in conjunction with the surface settings I used. I have the Top Coat Layer colored & set to "weighted" in order to lighten the skin tone a bit.

Iray render, quad HD with firefly filter on.

only lighting is Orestes sky hdri

I'm using a 1080p monitor and initially tried rendering at 4k. I brought this down thinking that might be the issue, but it's just the same.
