Hi Folks. Quick question. Is it possible to rotate the position of the moon in this product?

Orestes Graphics has a lot of cool things in the underground/dungeon genre - check out https://www.daz3d.com/the-underdocks-bundle 

Jack Tomalin's store is full of great stuff  - https://www.daz3d.com/cista-sanctus is an underground watery dungeon type place. 

First Bastion has a cool cave product - https://www.daz3d.com/spiral-descent-cave-entrance

View All Artists link does show up, but the URL I get is https://www.daz3d.com/shop/#filter_vendor=^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^&filter_new=0&filtered=1

which doesn't work, of course.

I did it in TextPad using a bunch of search, replace, copy, etc.

Man, I gotta learn Javascript.

Edit: Nevermind, my link still doesn't show all the items that should be available.

This one I think

https://www.daz3d.com/orestes-iray-hdri-skydomes--cassini

I don't think it's cassini as in the promo the ground is different and light is more intense and yellowish than the cassini

I think you are right, the planet itself isn't quite the same.

This is a fantastic set, and it renders fast given compared to ther jungle sets. In the attached picture I used Hell Creek modules 03 and 05 with the backdrop from Mesozoic Badlands, Orestes HDRI Summer Day 05 and Terradome 3 atmosphere with forest haze.

No, I have no connection to Lyoness or any of her products.

To change the HDRI in the Render Settings->Environment, you need to locate the presets. Daz Studio provides more than one way to do just about anything. The following is just what I think would be easiest for you to find at this point.

• Go to Smart Content and select the Products tab.
• In the right column, type "HDR" in the filter field. This will isolate all the products with HDR in the title. You may find you have more than one.
• For the moment, looking for the included HDRIs, scroll down and find Daz Studio Iray HDR Outdoor Environments.
• Double-click to open.
• You will see a folder entitled Render-Settings. Select that and the presets will show.

Each HDRI has two presets. The presets labeled "Background" load only the HDRI. The other presets load both the HDRI and Cameras. The HDRIs load with Draw Dome set to On.

I have noticed that when I have an Iray Worlds Skydome in place that the Enviroment controls do not work.

Please open a new, blank scene in DS.

Open the Render Settings pane. This is probably docked to one side or the other, dependent on the layout you are using.

• There are three tabs across the top of the Render Settings pane: Presets, Editor, and Advanced. Please select Editor.
• You should now see a drop-down labeled Engine and set to NVIDIA Iray by default. Below that are two columns.
• In the left colum you will see folders for the various render settings. (I believe you are familiar with this page.)
• Please click on  "Environment" in the left column.
• Now in the right column, you see the relevant settings for the currently selected Environment Mode.
• Change the Environmt Mode and the relevent settings will also change.

I believe these are the Environment controls you refer to. These settings only control the Iray environment. You cannot rotate an object with these controls. Dome Rotation settings only affect the position of the environment lighting in relation to World Center, (xyz axes of 0, 0, 0.)

It doesn't matter how large the object, to rotate it, you will need to select it in the scene. You probably have a Scene pane (tab) docked to one side of the viewport. You can select items in this tab, as well as in the viewport, but often have better control of what you're selecting in the Scene tab.

I believe you are getting frustrated with the Iray Worlds because you see it as an Environment and it only seems natural it should be controlled by the Environment settings. However, it is an object. It has a mesh. And it is moved with either a tool or settings in the Parameters pane.

To create a Group, go to the Main Menu and click on Create. Scroll down to New Group… and select. A dialog window will open where you can name your new group. The default name is Group # where # is an actual number which increments. Click on Accept. As I mentioned before, you can select items to group first, or you can create the groups and then move items into it. Items in the group are considered children, with the group as the parent.

I'm pretty sure Ghost Lights were Kindred Arts' brainchild. That said, stick with whichever tutorial teaches the way you learn.

One reason why ghost lights work is they use a single poly to light an area. You can actually use any mesh. The difference between "mesh lights" and "ghost lights" is the latter are all but invisible. But… Iray will have to compute the effect of the light on every polygon of the mesh light. The more polygons used, the longer it will take to render the scene. The sphere you are thinking of using between your characters may add more time to the render than you expect. You can use a single poly plane between your characters and turn on Two Sided Light in the material settings, (Surfaces tab)

You don't need to spend money to get a nice backdrop for your renders. You can turn Draw Dome to Off, render the scene, save the render as a PNG image and the background will be transparent. Now you can add any background you want in any image editor that uses layers. I use Photoshop CS6. Gimp is open-source and somewhat like Photoshop, (though I've never spent much time with it.) There are others, I'm sure. You can create simple backgrounds in your image editor, or use one of many free backgrounds available in this Art Studio thread.

Better yet, would be if there is a skydome that had that cyclorama look  on one side and a light source on the otherside AND I can control it with the environment controls to position the light where I need it.  Is there something like that? 

You have just described HDRIs. Not all HDRIs are like that. But the HDR product that comes with Daz Studio is. And here are a couple of products in the store that meet that criteria:

• MEC4D HDRI Gardens Vol.1 - Megapack
• Orestes Iray HDRI Environment - Four Seasons Field
• Orestes Iray HDRI Environment - Winter Grove

There are also websites that have free HDRIs, although I am not familiar with them.

Wow, very nice Gogger! I really feel like you'll get the feel of how this product works quickly...The little bit of fiddling will turn into fun soon enough. Three main three things to watch are the scale of the Kaleidoscope prop, placing your camera on wide-angle just inside the prop, and watching the aux viewport for changes. From there out experiment with the presets and see what they do

Yep, I was stretching the K-Prop on both the X and Y and everything changed for the better after that!  I'm using Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes - Fantasy Moon and was surprised at how well it worked. I can't wait to get to the long space station corridors like in the promos - and that library scene is to die for!  WOOHOO!!  Fun!  This one product will add SO MUCH diversity to my images that I produce each month.

This is the lonely road  HDRI by Orestes. It looks super nice with this old timey Cabin from Rendo, which looks like a nice hideaway.

Rest for the Weary
Mobster Big Ronny Rumoroso has yet to find the ideal relocation. Soon after arriving in Dubaris, the only city on the Planet Miuhiri, he was banished and soon found himself wandering country roads (without his faithful servant DumDum, who remained in Dubaris.) Katy and her friends were not pleased when they found him sleeping in a bed of their precious Flaming Katies.

If you want to do it in-render, Jepe has a number of Iray-ready flame/plasma tyep billboard props in his store, and Sickleyield, Orestes Graphics and Fuselilng have some as well.  You can also make your own billboards using Ron's brushes by Deviney, or you can just put a light source inside the engine and then add the rocket effects in post using Photoshop or the Gimp, which gives you a lot more control.. 

Orestes Iray HDRI Abstract Style. I’ve been using it nonstop lately but it’s perfect for portraits 

I am testing Layla Hair with Orestes HDRI but unfortunately I am experiencing problems because parts of the hair are rendering as blcocked WHITE. Can anybody tell me what I'm going wrong???????

Exile
When mobster Big Ronny Rumoroso was exiled to the lovely tropical isle of San Cristobal, he dreamed of spending the rest of his years as a gentleman farmer. Considering his conviction on 99 counts of racketeering, he thought it was getting a pretty sweet deal. Upon arrival, however, he was dismayed to discover that the "natives" were not the happy and carefree types who would let him live as he pleased.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what environment set was used in the promo images for the Ruins of H'Trakram by Orestes Graphics (https://www.daz3d.com/ruins-of-h-trakram). I'm interested in both the mountainous landscape and the skies.

Saw this viking ship skimming the Breaking Waves in Orestes Graphics new Angry Heavens skydome promos.   Intense skies and Breaking Wave. Need I say more.

This ones pretty darn cool too.

Orestes Graphics Angry Heavens HDRI skys suggests inclement weather in the forecast,  and looking at this empty playground,   the words tornado and the storm shelter come to mind. People running,  a bit of mayhem,  very evocative of the possibilities.

This one is awesome too against the breaking waves.

 

I still need to buy at least one winter-themed HDRI and one urban-skyline HDRI (if I can find one), and maybe Orestes's lightning and storm cloud HDRIs.

Thank you very much for your insightful information. I confess that I've bought a lot but tried too little. And just BOSS pro that inspires me to try creating my own set. I've traced what you mention and there  are something interest me. I also learn that some sets are good at close up but very bad at distance. There are a lot to explore. Thanks again.
