Discobob & their collaboration with Zev0 - Utilities are part of my workflow

HowieFarkes - Ultrascatter and wonderful sets
IgnisSerpentus - Her clothes are amazing and easy to kit-bash
KindredArts - I own most of their store and their morphs, lighting solutions are used extensively in many of my projects.
Lady Littlefox - dForce hair is great and their Precious series are fun to render.
Linday - I have several of their products but I particularly like their dForce hair and wet hair.
Marshian - Their lights sets are almost always used in all of my renders.

Howie FarkesI am sure there are dozens more that I have forgotten to mention. I have multiple products from every name on the list.
Who Are Some of Your Favorite PA's?There are too many to count... But top of my list:
My friend Phoenix1966 because she's cool, and she makes really great dudes... And well... Dan and Sean..... And the whole crew. Yummy.
I like Blue Rabbit. They make great menswear and don't scrimp on details and include accessories. Also they don't make shoes load together, which I find irksome. Every set shows thought and has nice details
I'm fond of SY, because she makes unusual things. I like her men's content, and well... All the tentacles, slime, and interesting figures.
Rawart: well, his monsters are the best. Really hard to beat some of his work.
Orestes: Love the HDRI. Really great stuff.
Muscleman: makes great poses. Some of the oldies are still the best in my opinion
Many more of coures that I have not remembered
The Premier Artist SaleAnd oh dear, it's still not September yet either.
I just panicked and realized I haven't used my coupons yet. Cracked one on the Orestes HDRIs.
Orestes Iray HDRI SkydomesOkay, stupid question time. Are the Orestes Iray HDRI Sky domes actually skydomes, or are they Environment Maps? The title seems to pretty clearly say "Yes", but I'd like to be sure before I pull the trigger on one. Also, if they are skydomes, can they be used as images for the Environment Map if I'm feeling lazy?
Novica & Forum Members Tips & Product Reviews Pt 11All Dead, All Dead by Queen always felt like an apocalyptic song to me, probably because I was a kid staring at the cover of "News of the World," when I first was exposed to the album. Anyhow, today it played on my shuffle on the way home, and I had this image pop into my head.

I don't have my monitors calibrated, and on some it is too bright and others too dark. Hopefully on yours it looks just right. :)

Issue with today's Victoria's gifts 20% discount offer - SOLVEDMy offer this morning says " please enjoy an EXTRA 20% OFF* all-new releases and featured artist catalogs" - I added the new item from Orestes Graphics in my cart and don't see an additional 20% off. Anyone else have an issue?

How does this Skydome work?-
You can find new icons for loading this product in the following DAZ Studio Folders:
-
“Light Presets:Orestes Iray HDRI Skies”
-
-
You can find new icons for this product in the following DAZ Studio Categories:
-
“Render-Settings:Iray”
-
You first select the Light Presets file. That will load the sky. The render settings than will adapt the rendering parameters.
As this is Iray, and a HDRI Sky, you will only be able to see it when you render.
You can try this product if it is a problem that you can't see the sky: https://www.daz3d.com/ibl-master-for-daz-studio
How does this Skydome work?I bought the Orestes gloomy skydomes, but not sure how they work. I've installed and found a handful of items marked "render" but when I double click on one, it doesn't have any effects on the scene? Are these only visible in rendering? Is there some other item I'm suppose to load and then apply these as materials?

Enlightenment Not Found
Russell felt lucky to find a ring of the very mushrooms his friend Ben Ravenhead told him would bring him instant enlightenment. He was pleased at the instant levitation and amused by the little people who gathered below. But when he heard the flapping of giant wings and then felt the claws on his shoulders and cool sweet breath on his cheek he began to wonder if something had gone wrong.Used:

But I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.
Remove purchased items from WishListI figured it out. Sedor and Orestes both make iray skies. When I was looking for my sky products, I saw a Sedor one that I thought I owned.
Turns out, I must have placed it in the cart when it was on sale (several times) and never pulled the trigger.

I thought I owned this......

When this is the source or my HDRI backdrop - the one that I actually own....

So when I store search, it only shows result thumbnails and doesn't break it down by Owned and Wishlist until you expand a section of results.
Sometimes you win and see something you want and then realize you already own it.
Other times....it was only on your wishlist.
Novica & Forum Members Tips & Product Reviews Pt 10Looking at my cart, the few sets I got were Bitwelder, which were 65% off. Orestes skydome HDRI's were 58%.
So what did you folks pick up? Oh, also, Creech Evolution (male and female) were 70%.
