shes got the moon in her eyes....caught this little guy snacking today....I moved Rocky's food off of the porch after our last meeting ....LOL
Playing with my new lights......and building......still can not figure out the water in Darkside so I put it into Bryce...This set is big....I can get a lot of renders from it....I couldn't pass up... Faveral....sale he has the coolest stuff!!! (If anyone has hints for me on water in Darkside....speak now please)
That is one beautiful set. I wish I hadn't seen this.... I love Faveral and this could get expensive. Sadly I'm no expert on lighting water so will wait for someone who is to share some advice.
Cute squirrel... but it's your white tiger who's the showstopper. Love the angle you took on that one!
Jindi: Thank you so much......Oh Big Blue Helpy Guy.....If you are still speaking to me after the sale that chohole told you about I could use your advice about water......please.....
This required soooo much post work I am not even sure if I want it here or not......I could not hide the hands...kill all in scene files killed all in surface files on hands.....sky through the window did not render all the way out.....not my day.....Janie's got two guns.....
Little miss Trish, for hands you have to hide each node one by one. Those were finger bones and You can turn them off, but we do not have a one click turn the full hand off thing.
It happened the same as last time I turned off all the sections and it showed back up in the render......I wish I would have saved the scene but I did not....Ok back to the question about water to make it look like water....my swimming pool to my new abode above ...what would you suggest....I have been playing with settings all day to no avail.......the grey with the lilly pads....???? Hello Mr. Big Blue Helpy Guy...are you there????
I'm tripping turn off a node turns it off to the Render engine. If and maybe if the texture uses SSS that could cause the texture to still show but I do not think so.
For waters in DS its all surface settings Trish. I have a Tutorial I found on DA that I use most times I'll hunt it down for you.
well while you are looking for the tute ...I will re-create the hand scenario ....edit....well it won't do it now....it disappears.....oh well.....it was just like this http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/35493/ it was gone till I rendered then it showed back up....stuff just happens to me just like when I click on Vicki and then materials and put a full body mat on this happens and I have to click on another one then click back to the one I want to get it to cover her....
Trish there is I believe a Stack error in DAZ Studio. When we have been doing lots in it sometimes the Stack does not clear and that causes a error. When you do something you know should work and it does not. Close DS and try again. That is one reason I use 4 saves of every scene I work on. If one stops working correct I close DS load it again and SEE if that reset things to the proper stuff. If not I close DS and open the Next older file. Most times the Close is enough to fix every thing.
I now have my Drive hooked in and am hunting that water tut for you.
Well thanks for telling me that....I thought it was just me this whole time...that makes me feel lots better....so what did you buy from Faveral???
Trish, I showcased that set, are you talking about the water in La Hacienda? (I think that's the name of it.) There were quite a few posts in my thread 1 on doing water, and the Links section I'm sure has the water posts. The links are the very first post in thread 2, easiest way is just to use my signature. I'll go check it out too and see what's up.
I just saw tjohn now has a link up in Novica's thread for his water shader. Nab it to Trish.
Novica: yes that's the one I am talking about...let me know if you find it I will look also.....
Jade: I got it thanks....both of them....knives...I really like Le Village.....I got the house with the pool above and the theater.....I just about own all of his stuff......Faveral Rocks
Trish, I looked and yes, just use the signature below and go to the first post of the second thread listed below. You'll see the Links section and then there is an entire WATER list. The first thing is this-if you don't have really, really good lighting your water will be dark. If you have everything else right and not enough light, it's a waste of time.
If you're making a plane with water, put the image in the bump at 127%, negative -0.50 and positive 1.00. Put reflection at 58.3% white, no refraction, Multiply Opacity should be ON. Diffuse was black at 100%, Glossy 74.8% and white. Ambient black at 50%, play with opacity to see what you like. Lighting model plastic. Smoothing on, angle 89.90
Got that from a tutorial in deviant art, I tried it about six months ago and worked like a charm. Note they did not put the water image in Diffuse, it is in BUMP only.
I'm trying this now- I had to put the image also in Diffuse (I thought so, but the tutorial didn't have it.)
Le Pool: AH HA
Le Wet Water we do have I say. Good going. So happy to help and Novica has so much info in her threads. I'm starting to become obsolete as the threads grow faster than I can post.
knives, yes twice... I like knives...
Thank you kind Sir: I don't have a title for this one just playing with my new lights trying out new stuff.......or should I say lites.....LOL... ah the joy of fun....The world is rather boring if you can't have a little fun....and the funny part of the whole mess is I would not have even noticed spelling mistakes.......if you would not have said it ...so I had to go and look it was like a game....
Well, you don't want to see Novica's results. True, I was piddling around really quickly as I hate to say, "Yeah this worked for me months ago" but this time my piddles were pathetic. I'm in the middle of five other things though so just abandoned it for now. Trish, looks like you got the reflection going and the dark is gone. Good for you!
Novica: thank you...... This is .......Elf Witch.....ok I am really liking these new lights but I can not figure out why I can't use a background with them.....any ideas...it does not compute why I can add buildings and stuff .....but no background....they are skies of economy by dimension theory....
Because the SKY is a HUGE Dome with the Cloud texture on it. Your Background is loading, it's behind the Dome and not getting any light as the Lighting is designed to be inside the Sky Dome. Sky sets like Skys of Economy were built for the sky to be used more than the lighting. But they will work as either. Just expand the set and turn off the SkyDome and you still have the lights...
Jade: Thanks so much...I am so happy you know all of these things.....
I use many SkyDome light sets. Where do you think all my sky's come from? LOL. WINK!
<<< That is Skies of Economy in my Avy.</p>
I am not really happy with this but I have worked on it long enough.......Poolside...It's Bryce I failed badly with it in Darkside....M6 and his hairy self is so hard to light up......Grrrrr
Great pool scene, the water looks awesome. I haven't worked with water surfaces too much yet. Still working on lighting and DOF ( as seen in my new studio posting). Today I am tackling Bryce again, just getting it reinstalled at the moment.
Kharma: Thanks...Bryce is fun that's for sure........Waiting.......the part I cut out of this was just packed full of ....Shadow People....I think in the future I will use that as my trademark since I am sooo good at them.....LOL...I just can't believe it is going to get 40 here again tonight this weather is driving me bonkers...hot ...cold...hot ...cold......
just a lonely girl.......
