When I saw that promo image for the water, over at DA, I knew it would be an insta-buy for me. Reality have me waiting for money that comes tomorrow, but it's safely in my cart until then.

Today this image made me laugh when I looked through the promos for Kayleyss' new character Trish.

 

Never underestimate the power of cute fluffy little things! Have to love the Pweek

This one, featuring both of Kayleyss' new characters is also great. The Witcher character (I forgot his DAZ name) and his lady friend hiding behind the knocked over throne.

hahah I came here to post this one! :D I looked at the promo image 3 times before I realized that there where two characters hiding behind the chair. lol Love it! Epic show down about to commence! :)

I have one of Kayleyss's other characters Gwennili and she's amazingly detailed and by far my favorite character - so I wouldn't worry about the darkness "hiding" anything, as, from what I've seen with Gwennili, that PA does amazing work and doesn't try to get away with hiding any defaults or anything like that. From my experience, the PA does work of the highest caliber. 

Oh My Goodness!! Kayleyss has done it again! 

The amazing level of detail in these two HD characters is breath-taking! Jenn and Trish both look INCREDIBLE! Absolutely gorgeous detail work. Bravo, Keyleyss! 

She is a great contribution in the gene pool!

Did anyone notice the line going through the bottom lip, the very bottom of it-  of the new Trish character? You can see it in the main promo, and the first promo of the second row of the thumbnails. It's on Jenn too. 

You are right. That looks unusual. Both characters are from the same vendor.

Greetings,

Google Image Search is your friend.

The image is Titania.  The listing claims the character to be Victoria 7, actually. :-)

p.s. Sorry about the thread necro; it was a left-over tab from weeks ago, and I was curious. :)

Would make sense since Azariah is for G3. ;)

The release of "SugarCookie" today was really a big surprise. After a few years without any chararacter release for this cutie a new life sign. I have asked Lady Littlefox several times for a updated Cookie (and Chip), but I understand her point, that Toon Characters are not the best selling items.

And unfortunately, she is right, as you could finally find again with the release of Toon Generations 2.0 or Star 2.0 for Genesis 3. Toon characters are always a welcome change for a few days. But it is also much more artistic to render the tens of thousands of easily clad Victoria, than a really good toon picture. For that one must have ideas.

Thanks to 3D-GHDesign and Dream9Studiosm that you never give up with Cookie and thanks for the release.

Instructions to use Blacksmith advise to apply desired textures and then export from Daz. However, every time I attempt to export (as .cr2 file), I get this error in the log:

2017-03-22 11:41:44.877 Exporting File...
2017-03-22 11:41:44.877 File exported in: 0.00945311 ms

2017-03-22 11:41:44.881     Operation failed

I've even loaded a base victoria 4, made no changes whatsoever, and still get the same error. I'm using the same export settings as shown in Daz (see attached). Any ideas as to why export isn't successful?

Thanks!

I haven't posted anything in awhile.  I just finished this one.  The only fairly new thing in the image is the Sci-Fi Bastion set.  Everything is all old stuff, Jorga for V4, Dragonbraid, and the Lilithai Strigoia.  I redid the textures on Prototype.

 

Nice one KM! I don't usually like postwork, but this has a metallic grittyness I really like, especially the floor.

Thanks.  I'm still such a newbie with postwork but I like how it turned out.  The lighting is kind of out there for most renders but I wanted to bring in the colors of the nebula I made to go with it outside the windows.  It definitely isn't my normal type of image.

Hallo Arnold,

ich verwechsle System- und VRAM mit Nichten !!
Und ich hoffe Du hast gesehen, daß ich keine GPU-Karte besitze.

Also: das mit den ca. 3GB pro Genesis3 stammt hier irgendwo aus dem Forum. Speziell wenn man wg. iRay die Render-SubD für eine "glattere" Darstellung der Mesh raufschrauben muß. Dann gehen die Polygone irgendwie mit der dritten Potenz (Aussage von Richard).

Solange ein Render in den VRAM der GraKa paßt, alles kein Problem und die CPU-Last wird nur bei wenigen % liegen. Wie Du aus ADs Bild siehst, ist die Situation dort aber gaaannz anders.
Bei zumindest meinem System ist die Speicherlast "nur für Windows" irgendwo unter 1GB. Mit DAZ geladen und einer mittleren Szene geöffnet dann so zwischen 3 und 4 GB. Alles noch im System RAM. Erst beim Rendern geht dann die Luzi ab. Die gezeigten fast 10GB in ADs Bild besagen also, daß iRay so 6 bis 7 GB zur Verarbeitung des Renders belegt.  --> Paßt also nicht mehr in die Grafikkarte, so daß iRay quitiert und auf CPU-only umschaltet.
Kann durchaus sein, daß die GPU-Karten den eigenen Speicher effizienter nutzen können und iRay auch speziell auf die nVidia Firmware abgestimmt ist.

Ja, das mit der Graka ist mir bekannt.

Irgendwo im Forum hat mal jemand eine Berechnung gepostet, derzufolge ein Mesh für je 100.000 Polygone rd. 10 Megabyte VRAM belegt. Das kann so aber nicht stimmen, da bei meinem obigen Test die Speicherbelegung mit  ca. +30 MB für eine Genesis 3 Figur zu Buche schlug, welche laut Decimator aus 33.872 Polygonen besteht. Jeder SubD Level vervierfacht die Polygonzahl, bei SubD Level 2 wären das dann 541.952 Polys. Mit der o.g. Umwandlungsformel entspräche das dann einer Speicherbelegung von 54,2 Megabyte.

Auch die Berechnung der Speicherbelegung für Texturen aus einem Thema hier im Forum kommt nicht so ganz hin, bei 3 Byte pro Texturpixel sollen das für eine 4k Textur rd. 50 Megabyte sein. Das hieße im Falle von Genesis 3 Female mit je drei 4k Texturen für Arme, Beine, Torso und Gesicht (Diffuse, Bump, Specular) und den sieben 2k Texturen (Reflection, Augen, Wimpern, Mund), dass eigentlich 680 MB zusätzlich zu Buche schlagen müssten. Sind aber nur ca. 120 MB. Gut möglich, dass da die Einstellungen für die Texturkompression ihre Finger im Spiel hat, die stehen bei mir auf den Vorgabewerten Medium/High 512 und 1024.

Na, dann kommt es aber auf den verwendeten SubD Level an, den derjenige verwendet. Standardmässig stehen die Genesis 3 Charaktere auf SubD Level 2 bzw. SubD Level 3 für die HD-Ausführung. Die kann man locker auch mit einer 2 GB Graka rendern, der Speicherbedarf samt Haar, Kleidung und einem 8x4k HDRi liegt bei mir für Victoria 7 HD bei ca. 1,6 Gigabyte.

ADs eigentliches Problem ist, dass die Quadro FX selbst mit dem aktuellsten Treiber CUDA Version 8.0 nicht unterstützt. Dass die GPU nicht zum Einsatz kommt, liegt bei ihr nicht am Mangel an Video RAM beim Start des Renders, sondern Studio kitscht die Graka schon beim Start der Software aus der Liste der Render Devices heraus.

Laut j cade (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/2224956/#Comment_2224956) passt Stoneys Urban Future 5 locker in dessen 2 GB GPU. Und das meinte ich mit dem Unterschied zwischen System RAM und Video RAM. Beim GPU-Rendern passt's in eine 2 GB Graka, aber beim CPU-Rendern benötigt man plötzlich ein vielfaches an System RAM. Ich würde mal tippen, dass da um die 8 Gigabyte vereinnahmt werden. Das finde ich einen ziemlichen Unterschied.

Anbei ein paar Render, die selbst meine lütte GT 730 trotz geringem VRAM noch imstande war zu rendern.

I have a victoria 4 to genesis 2 autofit I bought a while back that has worked for other wardrobe items. So it should work for this. 

Itll work just as well as any other autofit item. Here it is on Aiko 7.

I have a victoria 4 to genesis 2 autofit I bought a while back that has worked for other wardrobe items. So it should work for this. 

I want to know is this a wardrobe item that I could use on other figures like Genesis. Or is it a material item exculsively for Victoria 4?

There are seperate cr2 files that will load independant of Victoria 4. So, presumeably ,they could be used on other figures; but I don't know how well autofit will work with them.

I initially read this as BOndage Bundle for Victoria 4...

I thought the same thing and was like "woohoo, DAZ is moving up in the world, off to buy", then reality kicked in.

They are actual mesh items and can probably be autofitted to other figures.
