    The DS renders of Howie's Harpwood County look pretty stunning - he has a thread going in the Commons (I think it's on p2 right now. Hang on a mo...)

    Hemlock Folly looking *very* good in DS/3Delight very nice indeed. Glad I am to have it for Carrara!

    Opening soon in a downtown near you . . . the Parthenon Club!

    A contemporary club/bar with complete classical-style exterior and a choice of interior layouts, along with a selection of props. Native versions for Carrara and DS (Iray + 3Delight)

    javascript:void(0)

    This may not be out before the winners are announced for this month's challenge, nevertheless it can still be selected as a prize and will be delivered once it's released. :)

    Branching out - and it looks terrific!

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,564

    Damn, Tim... That's really Really nice!

    Looks fantastic, lots of varied opportunities for scenes.  You should look to do a bundle too! (Submit to PASS as a new product, but just reference the existing sets, no need to upload a new product to DAZ).

  • TangoAlphaTangoAlpha Posts: 4,584

    Thanks Phil smiley  There are so many sets that are good for just one or two renders and only a few camera angles, and I try to provide a lot more -- open airy cafe, claustrophobic night club, grand night spot entrance, seedy back alley, vampires lurking in the bushes while couples make out on the park bench . . . There's loos out the back and a stock room, plus a couple of offices that could host illegal gambling or Mr Big roughing up some loser . . . And it's all easily kit bashable!

    And now I've got an idea for a bank interior addon . . .

    Picked it up.  This is another great set.  As Phil mentioned, lots of different ways to use the set's resources in different types of scenes. 

     

    Did a little comparing of the Carrara and Studio loads.  In Carrara, the outdoor trees are Carrara plant models (or at least the plant modeler comes up when selecting the tree and entering the modeling room).  Are the trees in Studio version the same trees?  If so, how did you load them in Studio?  Export as obj?  If not, what work flow did you use?  How did you optimize the shaders for Iray?  Hope these questions are not too detailed.

    I got it to I will see what it is like tonight when I get home.

  • TangoAlphaTangoAlpha Posts: 4,584

    Yes the DS tree is exported from CA as obj (there's just one, instanced), with a certain amount of tweaking the Plant Editor settings to get a low poly count and have it still look good.

    When it comes to shaders, my workflow is to build them for 3Delight, using the texture maps etc I made for Carrara, and then convert to Iray & tweak. Some things like glass, metals, liquids need scratch built shaders for each renderer.

    Cheers Misty. Hopefully there was something useful . . .

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,168

    Thanks for the plant and shader info.

    Cool, Tim!   Mine's a pint- cider please!  Is this based on a real place as your others have been?  yes  Silene

  • TangoAlphaTangoAlpha Posts: 4,584

    Looked like a few banks in Old Montreal. Going to try out a few scenes today. Thank you again.

    What, Carrara 9? It's a sign! LOL! I had to crank up the replicators in the CA version, or people would start thinking the new DS one looked better . . . wink

    Overspent from the PA Sale? You need you put your money in the Parthenon Bank! http://www.daz3d.com/parthenon-bank With over $1 million in gold bullion in our vault, our priority is naturally one of security, and since we employed George as a security guard, we've enjoyed 126 straight days without a successful heist.

    * Interior addon for http://www.daz3d.com/parthenon-club
    * Doors and security gates open
    * Back offices
    * Bank vault with deposit boxes and bullion cage
    * Teller positions with opening cash drawers and panic buttons
    * Consultant positions with opening desk drawers and panic button
    * Hideable walls

    BTW, George's day off is Tuesday . . .

  • PhilWPhilW Posts: 5,145

    Looks to be another great model from you and with loads of scene potential!

  • TangoAlphaTangoAlpha Posts: 4,584

    Cheers Phil. First time I've done something that was an addon, which was interesting figuring out how that'd work with Carrara . . .

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,564

    Fantastic, TA!

    I wanted to see earlier, but Magento was not showing any images for me - so I came back later... now ;)

    Looks GREAT!!!

    Fabulous, Tim!  Am bogged down with work, but trying to do some modelling work. Sigh....frown

    LOL...being an American bank, you might have to offer an' add-on bullet proof glass option' to go behind the bars! devil

    Oooh... just noticed you have your other products in the promotional posters on the walls. Cool! Your talent is just growing and growing, well done yes

    Still rendering out promos for the next set, but I kinda liked this one.

    Volumetric cloud for the mist, and "fake GI" lighting.

  • PhilWPhilW Posts: 5,145

    Looking good - love the mist!
