I've been obsessed with trying to include the Albert Mansion in an UltraScene and finally got it to play nice with the Wasteland.  It's the Wetland 2 feature with the boardwalk removed and replaced with the AM wrecked one.  The ecology is Wasteland 3, Water is Brackish Pond.  All plants are included.  The trees and shrubs are all from the AM set, but repositioned a bit. The whole set was moved back so the US is the front "flood".  Sky is Orestes Cloudy-Brooding 2 with one of the Dimension Theory's Skies of Economy matte fog settings (light blue/white).  I cleaned up all the cult graffiti and ditched the skulls and stuff so it's just a nice, old abandonned house.

Very well done, I like the integration into UltraScenery! Wasteland works really well with the house!

It's a masterpiece. What a great use of the wasteland addon. Thanks for including the detailed description of how you made it.

This is still a work in progress as I try to get the lightning bugs tamed a bit. Lighting is the Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes - Sunrise number 4, and the subject is Ravi Speedboat. Ultrascenery Waterway 6, Oaks 01 with Oaks suppressed, and Basic Water.

Alien Abduction

I was travelling to work on my bike when there was a bright flash and a beam of green light from the sky hit me. The next thing I knew I was on a strange planet surrounded by a group of robots. I was terrified! Then there were some more flashes and light beams and several other people - at least I suppose they counted as people? - landed near me.

One of them had some sort of bomb-things, and managed to knock out the robots - they all kind of keeled over in the sand. I was wondering how we could ever get off the planet, but luckily one of my companions turned out to be some sort of alien princess. She had summoned her own spacecraft to rescue her and she said she would deliver us all back to wherever we came from.

So here I am at last! Oh dear, did I miss the weekly meeting?

Hello,

Is there a way to merge an hdri lights product with another hdri skydome?

For example:

remove the solid color background but keep the lights in this product              https://www.daz3d.com/studio-light-pro-hdri-iray-wow-lights

with the skydomes of like this one to name afew                                               https://www.daz3d.com/orestes-iray-hdri-skydomes--days-end

Spring into...relaxation!

As soon as it started to get warm, I immediately put the cushions on the chairs on my deck and started relaxing in my spare time! That, for me, is how spring starts!

Salutations,

Hello Everybody !!

First, HAPPY EASTER to All !!

About Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes - Radiathane..

It would be VERY GREAT if Orestes Graphics or somebody else can make another product like this but in blue with heavy fog like in the movie ALIENS, on planet LV-426.

I do think that many many people would be interested in that, no ?

Of course, i can do that completely by myself, but, that kind of product use not much memory, in this case i can add as many props and characters as i want.

Thanks beforehand

Ced

This is the first version of my entry for the Intermediate Challenge

I used 3 Delight. I would like to know if it is possible to get the circle centres to glow in the tower props like in the promo images for the props.

This is the product I used for the HDRI (window view) and the props :- Orestes iray artful flares hdris and props

I have adapted the dancers poses from Genesis 2 Hip Hop Poses - these figures are Genesis 8. 

My third pull:

Beach Cafe Promenade (SKU 34023)
Orestes Iray HDRI Environments - High Bluff Overlook (SKU 64129)
Weekend Fun for Genesis 2 Female(s) (SKU 20289)
DAZ Dragon 3 Morphs (SKU 18161)

Finally got my ducks in a row, so here we go!  (I haven’t touched my DAZ inventory spreadsheet since November of 2019 – and I’m still not sure I have everything accounted for.) 

Pull #1 (numbers generated by random.org):

5075 – Riven

5820 – Classic Deco

126 – Reception Area

4707 – Orestes Cobwebs  (Apparently, somebody was really late!)

Hmm, I think this is what would be colloquially known as a ‘hodge-podge’.  Or a “Godawful mess”; tough call!

Now to rummage through my libraries to find out what-all this crap is! 

Pray for me, I’m going in…!

Okay, we are go for throttle-up!  (Famous last words; okay, next to last.  The actual last words were, if memory serves, "Oh, s**t!")

 

anyway, here's my first render.

 

Also used:

Mars Explorers for Genesis 2 Female

Sitting Pretty (Poses for Genesis 2 Female)

FW Eliot for Michael 7

Elven Hair for Genesis 3 Males

H & C Business Suit A for Genesis 3 Males

H & C Medical Scrubs Set for Genesis 3 Males

 

Rendered in 3Delight, just because I was feeling a bit nostalgic today!  And now that I have, remind me not to do it again!  (I had forgotten just how much of a pain in the never-mind-precisely-where 3Delight can be when it comes to rendering skin surfaces!  Took for-freakin’-EVER!)

“Well, this certainly explains why you’ve been coming in late every day since the lockdown ended. You know, a simple face-covering would have been entirely adequate, and would save a lot of time.  And where the hell is the custodian!?  This place is a mess!”

“He wasn’t considered ‘essential’.”

“I would beg to differ!”

That really captures the whole lockdown thing.
