SKYLAB CHAT

Wow, cool harp Stezza....it's perfect I'll work on that this evening, the .obj conversion.

And beautiful atlas moth, another critter for the Lucas village The only atlas moth that I had was from CP years ago....it's at Rendo now....works okay in Poser but would not have the Iray mats so I'll see about adding that to the group. Here's a quick animation of the CP atlas moth....and a moth or butterfly would make an excellent first attempt at an animation...just a simple up and down of the wings, spaced about 10 frames apart.

 

[skylab]

Linda, here's the link to Stezza's thread, to find the harp, and even join in his discussion there

 

[skylab]

Okay....I got the HW moth and Stezza's harp, so I'll get them loaded and tested tonight. Do you remember the trampoline that I used with the Slon animation....did you ever get that...it may have been a freebie at the time, over in Stezza's neighborhood I thought about it today, that I might could practice a few bounces with Lucas on it

 

[Linda B]

If you got the HW moth pack with the atlas moth, you also need the giant moth pack which has the actual model. Found out the hard way because I CAN"T READ!

No, don't think I have the trampoline.

 

[skylab]

Oh....I'll have to go back and figure out the moth pack thing.

Here's a superfly render of Stezza's harp....next thing is to get the .obj imported into Studio and apply the IRAY shaders there.

 

[skylab]

Okay, got the moth thing straight So now I can get both the moth and the harp loaded into Studio tonight. I'm starting to look forward to playing in Studio, so I guess that's a good sign.

Found a webite with lots of freebies. Free starts here: Freebies - Digi-Dotz 3D

 

[skylab]

Caught it in the act this time....as soon as the render started, it revealed that the spider's hair was in a different location from the spider...haha.

 

[Linda B]

I've done that!

 

[DanaTA]

nah.. I rather just play around in Carrara and let anyone who gets them experiment with..

but yeah you can export them to OBJ from Carrara but no guarantees they will work in Poser or DS.... but hey Carrara rocks

over yonder to get the wooden harp thingy
Modeled and rendered in Carrara using Carrara textures and lighting

Isn't there some kind of bridge or somethign between DS and Carrara?

Dana

 

[skylab]

Good find....some Studio Iray shaders in the collection:


Sci Shader presets for DS

Marble Shader preset for DS4

Honeycomb shape shader for DS4.5

Hourglass and Clouds

Box and Bed

Vase and Star

Watch and Animated Particles for DS

Genesis 3 glasses

Glasses for Dawn

Socker Ball and Basket of Apples

Room and Ladder

Sofa and Bow and Arrow

 

[skylab]

I think the bridge is between Hexagon and Studio....Stezza works in Carrara format.

 

[skylab]

Linda, can the hair be conformed to the spider, to keep them together, like can be done in Poser?

 

[Linda B]

I'm not sure.

 

[skylab]

Not sure how to fix it....since this is what I'm seeing in the preview...in other words, I don't see an obvious error (?)

 

[Terre]

Good evening. You guys have been very busy with cute things.

 

[Linda B]

I dropped it down in the tree to be under itty bitty itself and everything moved together.

I think that happened to me with the odd color when I applied hair texture to the figure. Only apply to the hair.

Oooh look at the time! Have to get up early for work so it's bedtime. Night all!

 

[skylab]

Night Linda

 

[skylab]

Hey Terre....yeah, we've been trying to get on the same page with our critters today.

 

[skylab]

Well, the little spider finally pulled himself together for a render with Stezza's wooden harp
