RELEASED HiveWire Dog Is Underway

[Rae134]

RAMWolff a few posts down show how to convert Iray to 3DL, looks pretty easy to me: I have to ask...
(3DL to Iray looks pretty good, but I've heard that it doesn't always work the other way round)

I'll check it out. If it's as you think, people in the Daz forum would probably like to learn the trick, too, because they are several threads where people are pleading with Daz to create a script to do it like they did to go from 3DL to Iray.

Have you tried ctrl clicking with a shader that you is similar to what you want?

For something like a prop, easy enough. But for full figures or even bigger, full environments, resurfacing everything in a scene would not only be tedious, but would wreak havoc on render times.

 

[Pendraia]

True...it would take time to resurface everything that's one reason with older sets I stick with 3DL. The uber shader for Iray doesn't really solve that problem as you still have to go in and adjust things sometimes and you still have to do exactly what I was suggesting in reverse.

Plus ... I'm not really big on the look of Iray. I don't want photo-real. If I did, I'd pull out my camera, lol.

x 100, Willow!

 

[Pendraia]

Wasn't suggesting you did Willow...more saying that the uber shader doesn't solve everything. I've often had to go in and adjust things especially the opacity settings. So a similar product for 3DL isn't going to be the solution you're expecting. It will still need to adjust things...that was all I was trying to say. Off to drink my coffee...still waking up here.

I'm sure that the HIVE will still support 3Delight so if they work in 4.7 it will probably state something like "support for 4.8 up" so that will mean that if you DO have an issue in 4.7 they may not be able to help trouble shoot it well enough to resolve what ever is happening. Rigging is exactly the same so shouldn't be an issue!

 

[WillowRaven]

That gives me hope

 

[sandman_max]

Be still my heart.... I thought you were saying they couldn't be used in any version AFTER DS 4.8 and never work with Iray. <breathe deep.... read more forum entries>

Oh yeah! A Hyena would be awesome. Those animals are incredible and I don't think one has ever been made for Poser.

Oh yeas actually I have a few. One is a morph for the MilDog and another is a stand alone from CP.....bot not very good though considering the MilDog morph works better. The usual dumb joint and motion problems from CP as well as the crappy textures. I just do not understand them over there
But this character would be an awesome Hyena and have high hopes for one!
Also there is at least one a spotted Hyena available at Renderosity that looks pretty good I think by AM?

Yeah, shouda known one was made somewhere at some time. A Hivewire version would be fierce though.

I'm sure we'll end up creating a gorgeously ugly (fierce) HiveWire Hyena at some point.

When I see/hear Hyena, I immediately think of Whoopi Goldberg voicing Shenzi in The Lion King.

 

[Sunfire]

I still would like a ferret.

Uhhh!
I can't wait!

Okay so I'm trying to not ask too late this time Chris , I have a Shitzu and she lays spread out like few dogs I've seen I think it's a Shitzu thing with her hind legs stretched out behind her ,and I don't know if this would be directed at you or Paul ,but can the HiveWire dog be given this ability?? I want to be able to create the lumpy dog rug that my furbaby is .......thank you very much!!

Its a small dog thing Carrie, I've seen alot of the smaller breeds do it (quite funny when a bull dog does it)

Actually, my bassets do it, too. Especially when they are hot. They try to get their belly as close to the cool floor/ground as they can.
