SKYLAB CHAT

[skylab]

I was downloading freebies...some of them take awhile....that's my excuse....okay.... either that, or Perry Mason puts me to sleep (MeTV).
Guess which one of the seven dwarfs I'd be? Haha....

I missed these G8M and G8F in the list:


iRay Shaders in DAZ 3D

Brick for G8M

Wojtek for Genesis 8 Male

Genesis 8 Male Cargo Pants & Polo

G8M Bunny Hop haha...be vewy vewy quiet, we're hunting wabbits

Unitard 4 G8M (I think this can be a solid color)

Acindina for G8F & Dress

Tiana for G8F

Braxtyn for G8F

G3F All Business

Unitard 4 G8F

Winter Dress for G8F

G8F Test Outfit

G8F Bean Bag

All the World's a Stage

Might come in handy....this guy has really created a lot of stuff.
Lunch time...and nap time....be back online later

Sky in your travels around the net have you ever run into anything resembling a fairy dust material for Poser?

 

[skylab]

Hey Janet Would that be like some sort of particles? I think there used to be stuff at RDNA like that...I think it was a series called Scatters....stuff like butterflies, bees, maybe fireflies....and other things. And I think I've seen particle type stuff at Rendo....and, I think it was Nerd3D that had a dust and smoke/fog product at one time. Can't recall any freebies though. After lunch I'll run a quick search just to check.

 

[skylab]

Can't post specific links, or the post zombies will eat the links....but here's a general link to particles at Rendo...including snow, etc., which could be used as dust.

 

[Janet]

I'm working on a freebie

 

[skylab]

Oh cool Yeah, I suspect some sort of particle product would pass for scattering dust. Some snow globes come with particles as part of the interior of the globe, and I've used just the particle part separately before.

This was how I did these animations:

Christmas poem

Mailbox

Kon snowman

Hein Santa's globe, still render version (I think globe was from Rendo)

 

[Janet]

I was hoping to find a material that does that.

 

[skylab]

You could change the color of the particles to match your "dust"....instead of glitter, it could be whatever you choose. You can see in the promos how this snow globe is constructed, with the particles separate.

This is one of the animation features I wanted to see built into Poser....a particle system for snow, or rain, fog, or dust....but for now, it has to be done using products that mimic the effect.

You could try this free snow globe, to see if there's anything in it of use:

If you're looking for a dust texture, then it's a matter of a google search until you find what you like.

Well, I hope there's something here that can be of use.

My meds are kicking in, so time for the afternoon nap. See you all later on this evening

 

[DanaTA]

I was hoping to find a material that does that.

If in DS, you might look into Let It Snow. Oh, maybe not...that seems to be just a shader to put on objects. Iray Blizzard may be of some use.

Closest thing I've used in the past is the Snow Tool, but I don't think that would work well for animation. It uses planes that take the snowflake, and can be on several layers to go in front of and behind figures. But I don't think it would work for animations. It's quite old, too.

Maybe one of the RDNA Scatters sets can help. If the textures could be replaced with something of your choosing or design. Just guessing here.

Here is a royalty free, free stock texture of blue glitter if that would help, Janet.

I'll give it a try. Thank you!

 

[skylab]

Well, the phone just woke me from nap number two....and I've figured out that it's evening....and I just realized that the emoticon that had one eye bigger than the other is missing...it was the only one that came close to expressing an after nap "duh"...haha.

 

[Linda B]

I napped too.

 

[skylab]

Rendering now....checking out my goodies

 

[skylab]

To protect and serve....from lawless turkeys, roaches, or any other critters The car lights have an on and off feature...I'm wondering if they will work during animation This had been in the wishlist a loooong time.

Was just searching for how to model dust and ran into this: Dust3D | Free 3D Modeling Software

"Dust3D is a cross-platform open-source modeling software. It helps you create a 3D watertight model in seconds. Use it to speed up your character modeling in game making, 3D printing, and so on."

 

[Linda B]

nice program.
