    I CANNOT WAIT to repopulate a scene with HH's Hell's Creek trees and some Dinoraul prehistoric trees and plants - super excited!

    Some days I make beautiful art. Some days I wonder what the hell I'm doing with my life. I leave what kind of day I'm having today as an excercise for the viewer.

    A landscape in stark green and brown tones. All the trees have been replaced with toilets. None of the toilets open.

    Thanks !

    Is a multi stage process.

    First of all I made the scene in USC2, then applied my alien vegetation in APII.

    For the ground colour I modified the USC2 ground colour by adjusting the Hue in Paint Shop Pro.

     Next I rendered it out in DAZ Studio minus the figure.

    Opened Carrara and applied the render as a background image.

    Opened the figure in Carrara, moved it to fit the render image/background. Applied a shadow catcher.

    Rendered the final setup in Carrara.

    Opened the final render in Paint Shop Pro.

    Applied Topaz Adjust 5 filters for image enhancemant.

    Then Applied Topaz Impression filter to create the NPR result. (Also use PhotoDonut, FotoSketcher, Dynamic Auto-Painter PRO 5, paint.net, and Filter Forge at other times.)

    So in summary I didn't actually create the NPR look in USC2, more of a process that I followed.

    Howie made some great scenes for Carrara, I'm using the USC2 to continue using his work in Carrara.

    I'm having a problem. No doubt not doing something obvious. I create a scene with USC2 and have built a number of sets with the Alienator 2 set builder. Now when I try to open the Pro 2 script to do an exchange, it says that I need a USC 2 node selected to run this script. I have the USC 2 landscape selected in the scene tab so I don't understand where to find this node.

    If the Script is running properly -

    Click on the Conversion Set Builder tab

    1. Click on the "+" symbol in the UltraScenery2 Prop and Prop-data section. This will expand the items in the scene. Select one.

    2. Click in the Load Prop Set box and select one of your saved items.

    3. Choose one of a similar size that you selected in Step 1

    4. Click on Link

    Repeat process till you have done all of the items you wish to change.

    Click on the Conversion Sets tab. Put a name in the Conversion Set Name. Click on Save Conversion Set. Click on Execute.

    Tips -

    To avoid crash to desktop, make sure Nvidia render Optimisation is set to Memory before starting USC2 and APII.

    If you have limited C-Drive space don't go crazy and convert all of your Plant props with the APII Set Builder as it will chew up your computers memory space.

    Do you have any Biome Layers on the USC2 ?

    Alien Robot - NPR render

  • RandomRandom Posts: 205

    Hi, Totte. This morning I opened Studio again and set up my USC 2 scene the very same way I did yesterday--or thought I had--loading Pasture 1 ecology and adding a layer of Daisies. This time Alienator opened. Don't understand why but good, everything works now and thanks for all the hard work.

    Woohoo - it's working after a glitch in the matrix !!!

    Hope to see some renders !

    Exactly! Since I already have the required products and AP2 this product should prove extremely useful.

    Alex.
