Here are sample snips of the 8192x2048 sky textures I have so far:

Those are looking fantastic Seach.
Quickie from me. This is Diva, not used her as of yet. Took her into ZBrush and created a fairy from her. Did a bunch of morphing. Slimmed down the hands and feminized the feet allot more and face. Added back in breasts and slimmed down the waist line and slimmed down the lower legs and thighs too. Arms and wrists are redone a bit. Had to dig to find my fav dragonfly wings and just converted them to iRAY. This is my upcoming Tina skin which is currently in beta testing right now.... Once I get Tina and Tommy in the store I think I'll try to finish up Bruno and Bruna and then get to work on my male and female fairy set. I might even make my own wings and see how I do with that!
Off to my day job. See ya later....

Pixies may be stronger than they look...Loving those wings Rich, and I never would've thought of a fae working out at the gym.
"Guess again!"

They are so cool! Plus they are so large! Must be for your skydome?
Hmmm, That weather. You must live around @Mythocentric
So it would seem.

They'll fit any spherically mapped dome, the Lothlorien skydome, the P11 construct, et al.
Yeah, they're big. This is an actual-size snip (click to expand), though only 1/16 of the entire sky panorama:
The power company shut down the whole neighborhood while replacing switching equipment, so I had to hurriedly shut all my computers down (UPS batteries will not last long with the CPUs pegged at 100%). Theoretically, HyperVue might be able to resume the Pink Paradise (a brilliant sunrise with Godrays) render, but I've never yet seen HyperVue succeed in resuming a render, so I'd say those five days rendering are lost. I'll probably wait for November before I try to run it again, so that I don't have to deal with the heat.

Can't say that doesn't suck. It does. I know the pain, though, cousin. Here in the Philippines, power outages are a way of life.

My Green Lantern. Funny, rendered in Superfly, she doesn't have that Halle Berry vibe. I let this one go for 15 samples, which apparently wasn't enough. I am going to try it again, this time with BPT checked, and 20 samples. Oh, and I am going to render it at 1920x1440...
@quietrob she has her ring!

How do I know I am GPU rendering? Is it simply a matter of unchecking BPT?
Haven't seen that movie in YEARS. Great clip! I'll have to add that to a watch list on Netflix or Amazon.
Are these for sale anywhere? I imagine they will work just fine in DAZ Studio as well!

These are for the Lothlorien skydome that he is creating. The whole thing will be for sale when it's finished...

Somehow a 'Like" doesn't seem quite right...

The Superfly render settings have two columns; progressive refinement is at the top of the right column. Now look above that, just outside. You'll see a faint (greyed out) "Intel core i7..." or some such. It often shows that as a default; Urania doesn't have a core i7, but that's what you see when rendering CPU, which is the default rendering mode.
If your machine has a render-capable GPU, that line will be clear black text and active, so that can select either the processor or the GPU. I don't have a pic offhand; TinkerBell has a Titan Z and would show the option active, but she's offline for now.
Render capable GPUs would be nVidia GeForce series video cards from about GTX750 and later. Superfly can't currently use Radeon cards.
My reason for making them is to use them with the Lothlorien enviro playset, but they will work for any spherically mapped skydome, in any render engine, including 3Dlight and iRay. You can download the P11 construct sampler and just use the sky JPGs. They are 4096x1024. The new ones will be 8192x2048.
You won't be able to buy them, but you'll be able to get them for free.
Every sky in the P11 construct sampler will be in the new pack (but larger), along with several new ones. I count thirty on the list.
We need a "Sorry about your suck" emoticon.
OK, these are looking fabulous, but I have one question. I don't use the Construct, but do use either BB's EnvSphere, or Snarly's EZDome script, which utilizes BB's EnvSphere. Will I be able to use these in these instances?You won't be able to buy them, but you'll be able to get them for free.
