Help, this is just WEIRD! Lines on Sora in 3dl

[Virtual_World]

Lorraine, Could you please try changing the shading rate in the Advanced Render Settings panel to .2 ?

I found several threads at the DAZ forum and in one of them this change solved the issue. See Josie's Seams Showing

granted bump seetings could fuss with things

As can Displacement, esp if it's set a tiny bit differently per body grouping.

 

[RAMWolff]

IF all fails you can remove all maps except for the Diffuse maps and slowly add the bump and specular or what ever back in per body group. It's a great way to get more familiar with how each set of maps affects the outcome of the finished render.

Tried that, VW, tried it down as far as it would go but no luck. HOWEVER, have just dicovered that the seams are only visible from a distance. If I do a close up of any of them they are not there but back the camera off and there they are again. I think I'll just put this in the too hard basket...a baffling anomaly in Opua.

 

[Szark]

what shader are you using?

 

[Lorraine]

I've tried them all, Szark, and none make any difference.

I actually noticed this exact same problem on Sora today. I was using her default skin in 3DL and some quicklight sets included with DS.

Though the seams are noticeable even with just the headlamp on the camera.

I only tried close in Lorraine but I'll have another look further back and see what happens.

 

[Pendraia]

Okay...you're right this is really weird as further back they do show up in the viewport. I'm just doing a render now. It's normally closer in that you see stuff like this I would have thought.

 

[Pendraia]

It seems to be mainly around the edges of the face surface...so I tried to copy the surface for neck body and using them on the face. Which I would have thought would fix it if it was a surface setting that was different. Render with the settings from the 3Delight mat, 3DUniverse Photographic white room.

I've tried them all, Szark, and none make any difference.

oh well that omits SSS Scale or displacement.

 

[Lorraine]

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I'd started to think I'd gone mental! Or my computer had! I've tried every different shader: AoA's Subsurface, omnifreaker's Human Surface, Ubersurface, and Simple Surface, DzDefault, dzskin, and have also applied settings from lots of different Dawn skins whilst holding down control. Nothing makes those seams disappear.

hi! i just seen this ..i was going to post a discover i did today when i tested my second skins for Dawn...don´t sure it will fix it ..but i think it is a point to consider.
the second skin is made using only some zones of Dawn body as you know..then the egdes are the ones that separate each zone...in poser i had no problem...but when i tried in Daz if you looks so close there is a great difference in the egdes...i found the problem...Daz loads Dawn with mesh resolution high...and this make the egde distorted...this can be not probelm in the whole skin..but it is in the secons skin...i set the mesh resolution to base and now it looks just like in poser...don´t sure it has something in your Sora problem..but perhaps can help.

 

[mininessie]

ok..it does nothing ...but i test it in 3DL (i had the same problem with 3DL but don´t noticed it because i only use Iray now) with a shader rate of 0.0010 and is almost rid off as you can see here
