SKYLAB CHAT

Did you use emissive on the car lights?

 

[skylab]

It's an option on the car...lights on or lights off


Some turkey-related stuff:

The lights reflected well on the road so that's why I thought they were emissive. Great scene.

Now we know how Detective Rank captured the first perps for interrogation, to get information leading to the capture of Turkbo and his gang

 

[Linda B]

Turkbo is now turkey colored with a juvie snood.

Hey...that'll work...and it will give him a unique appearance...like an ear ring, or tatoo

I've got to work on a better version of the Detective Rank render....a little more dramatic. I wanted the chase scene to render while I was resting today...I knew it would take awhile because of the car lights.

Sure glad you're getting a break for Thanksgiving....that's one of the reasons it was my favorite holiday...it was the only one that we all got that was four days together, because everyone always wanted to have black Friday off...so we ended up getting more for Thanksgiving than for Christmas. It wasn't like that years ago, but it had morphed into how things were done in recent years.

Things sometimes get quiet on the forum during holidays. Terre's probably cooking.

Hubby was just commenting that it's so windy and will be tomorrow that he'll have a hard time keeping the grill going. We have beer turkey every year.

We normally have the same holidays as fed government since we're a contractor, but we forego Columbus Day so we can have 2 for thanksgiving.

 

[Linda B]

All those weapon freebies from Poserworld are going to come in handy.

 

[skylab]

We did the same, we had to trade up one of the minor holidays in order to get a Thanksgiving long vacation, which everyone was eager to do, while trying to prepare for Christmas and work at the same time.

The Detective Rank Poser scene imported nicely into Studio....the only thing that was lacking was the Poser hair....so I used Genesis 3 hair on M4 and it will work fine....just took some scaling. Now...to get creative with the lighting....hmmmm.

 

[Linda B]

That did import well. Need some colored spotlights maybe.

 

[skylab]

Yeah....and I found some doozies during the sale...missile launchers...high tech tanks...gangsta stuff....haha....preparing for urban war. Every year the turkeys have suffered casualties November through December...they're finally taking a stand....haha.

 

[skylab]

I keep seeing it like....the lights are in front of him, and what we see is just a silhouette of him with the turkeys by their necks....maybe car lights lighting the scene...or street lights...since they "went for a ride" with Rank.

 

[skylab]

It saved a lot of setup time with the scene importing smoothly. I had already installed the scene stuff into Studio to make it easier.

I wonder if animations will transfer the same....now that would be sweet indeed.

 

[Linda B]

oh yeah...backlighting. excellent choice.

 

[skylab]

Hehe....this was just re-run for Thanksgiving

 

[Linda B]

 

[Linda B]

oh my gawd. I can't wait to show you this render!

 

[skylab]

Oh my....here it comes....haha.

 

[Linda B]

Lots of iray effects so taking long time.

 

[Linda B]

I couldn't wait.
