    Somethings up with the division of the Shader on the wing, will investigate further.

    Tried Sparrowhawke's UV Unwrap on this one for the back/side walls and the grounds - no result. Will replace with another shader.

    Replaced the blades shader with a chrome, and adjusted the Outer Glass Lantern shaders to fully transperant.

    Works fine, problem of two toned wing was caused by a spotlight that I added to the scene to lighten the underside of the wings. Note to self, don't rush the lighting !!!

    Ground is fine, the exterior walls are stretching the UVs

    Trial 1 Shader still stretching

    Trial 2 Shader - that's more like it !

    From orc sales.  This is Grammock for G9.  I added some green in subsurface scattering and I think that took out some of the skin detail.  Really notice the difference because of the lack of support for Daz's particular HD in default Carrara.  I think I would construct and mix in a skin shader with more roughness next time.  Problem is, because G9 reduces the number of skin material zones, it is a pain to exclude lips, etc.

    Looking good !!!

    Have you tried Philemo's HD Plugin with this model ? https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/302941/any-news-on-the-hd-plugin-d/p2

    Thanks, but it's Philemo's skill in the HD plugin that gets the results - I just follow the steps !!!

    The Clothes have a setting in the Reflection channel in the shaders.

    Dress with Reflection set to none.

    Bus came in large compared to Genesis, could do with being scaled down. Also replaced the Chrome texture with a Chrome shader from the Shader library.

    Bus at 100% size

    Bus at 70% size

    Problem with the Poses distorting the back of the head/neck/shoulders in Carrara

    Tried a few different poses as well as the Girl 7 morph, issue affecting all

    All okay in DAZ Studio

    Easter Egg DD PBR Metal Grille Shaders for Iray Vol 2

    Workaround added

    Render with 2 planes shaders changed to metal grille

    Step A - Used Paint.net. Open Grille texture. Click on Adjustments Tab, then click on Invert Colors

    Step B - Staying in the Adjustments Tab, click on Black and Alpha+

    Step C - Still in the Adjustments Tab, click on Invert Colors again

    Step D - Save as something different that will identify the change

    Step E - Update the shader in Carrara, requires Philemo's PBR Lighting - https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/4625561/#Comment_4625561

    1. Top Shader, click on Lighting models, select PBR Lighting model

    2. Color, click on Operators, select Multiply

    3. Color - Source 1, select  a colour from the DD PBR Metal Grille Shaders for Iray Vol 2 textures

    4. Color - Source 2, select the modified Grille texture that you altered in Paint.net

    5. Metallic - needs further investigation

    EDIT:- instead of following the Step 2 you can also add the Colour Metal texture to the Color channel & add the Grille texture to the Alpha channel, is easier.

    Had this sorted but took a break, and wrote down the steps after a couple of hours away - should have done it at the time !!!!

    Shader Woes - Reason for Steps A to D

    Found out that the Triplanar method for resizing textures does not work in the Alpha Channel. Note Shader ball has no Grille openings.

    Resized 2048 pixel size texture to 512 pixels for next step.

    In a program called Swatch-Maker by Winterbrose converted 512 pixel texture to 4096 pixel texture.

    In Carrara tried loading the 4096 pixel texture into the Alpha channel, got an open error.

    Hence steps A to D which was accepted by Carrara, and also reduced the texture size from 48MB to 1.16MB.

    Another option is to resize the 4096 pixel texture to 2048 pixel texture.

    No joy on remembering the steps to get a metal looking grille. When I went to sleep last night was counting shader options instead of sheep !!!

    Glasses - caused Carrara to hang needing to CTRL-Alt-Delete out. Saved as a scene subset in DAZ Studio after which they loaded okay.

    Shoes not included.
