Odd Reality 2.5 intrusions in non-Reality scene ?

Hi,

I was working on a scene, happened to access a content item in Content Library with no item selected in the scene, and this list of scene items came up, most of which are Reality something-or-others, none of which are in the scene, as you can see. This happened each time I tried that after, to see.

Been having strange problems, (what else is new?,) in my 3Delight renders in Studio 4.6 lately, and had just uninstalled/reinstalled that version of Studio. This was the among the first scenes worked with, none of which were Reality scenes or used any Reality props.

I had used Reality a few days prior, but my dual-core makes such long work of Lux, I don't use Reality 2.5 much at all. Just decided to try another render, cancelled the render part way into it, deleted the file it was creating...

As you can see, its a huge list of Reality items. I wonder what that's doing to ram usage, when it doesn't show up in my scene tab, which only contains a handful of things.

Anyone have an idea what these extra items are, where they're coming from, how to get rid of them? I would have thought an uninstall/reinstall of Studio 4.6 would give me a fresh install of 3Delight, but the same odd occurrences happened in my renders after the reinstall; things like wierd repetitive patterns on skin, and overall darkness and opacity to shadows, or excessively lightened/brightened responses to scene lighting. I'd like to clean this up and get back to normal.

    Are you using the Skies of Reality for DAZ Studio as the lighting and Sky dome? If so that Reality info is included in the scene at load time.

    EDIT: I see this is the Winter Kingdom set. What Lighting is it?

    Thanks, Jaderail,

    The set is Stonemason's Winter Terrains for Daz, and skydome is part of that set. It loads automatically when a terrain is loaded.

    I wasn't aware that there was a Reality component to that set, but can easily check that by substituting one of Flink's skydomes. I use those most of the time anyway as offering more variety.

    If the Reality stuff goes away, that'll be it.

    The scene items listed in the popup, though, are Reality_Metadata & Reality_Scene_Data, reiterated 480 times. That's strange, to say the least.

    Push comes to shove, I'll uninstall Reality 2.5, and see if that helps. As I said, there are recent, but ongoing anomalies in my recent renders.

    there isn't,That set wouldn't render in reality anyway as it's all made with shader mixer,no idea whats going on but curious to see what's causing this

    Okay thats odd for sure. I'm lost now as your were not Close to reality at all. I have no Clue what could cause Reality Data to load in a Scene that has NO reality items in it.

    I uninstalled Reality 2.5 and the problem stopped...

    Not much help in troubleshooting, there, but it got me where I was looking to go.

    Emailed Preta3d, to see if they might have a hunch. I'll follow up if any new information surfaces.
