SKYLAB CHAT

Makes me wonder if shaders can be mixed....that is....you can get the benefit of the multi-color, and yet tone down the reflective shine part....which ended up being what happened with Whoopi.

 

[Linda B]

Mmm I know I saw a multi layer shader but not sure what it came with.

 

[Linda B]

Off to bed. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

I started doing this, in order to trace things back to their origin....I try to do a search with Filter by Content unchecked, find the name of the content, then try to trace it back by way of the DIM, by looking in the install files, and there's a feature there that will show the file path....this helps especially with tracking textures.

 

[skylab]

Yeah, I'm heading for the sack too....catch you tommorow

Cool new freebie in the DAZ section at ShareCG Linda, I remember your mentioning working with FaceGen recently so you'll like this one!
The readme gives thorough instructions. I had already planned to do Spock, and was glad to actually find real hair that will be suitable.

This was rendering while I was resting

 

[skylab]

Linda, do you know anything about a "bloom effect"? Apparently it's required for a light saber glow to function in iray.

[Linda B]

yes, I can send you the information.

 

[skylab]

Thanks Linda...just received May the Source be with us

 

[Linda B]

Now if we could get Baby Yoda rigged....BY with tiny light saber! Awwww!!!

If you hear a thud, it's me. Took a benedryl and nap wasn't long enough for it to wear off.

 

[skylab]

Oh....haha.....let's not hit the floor....but I do know the feeling

We should at least be able to manage a still shot of Baby Yoda with a glowing saber....will do our best.

I didn't have any sci-fi outfits...so I tracked down something for G3M, and am tweaking things to prepare for an animation. The light saber part will be completely new territory...but when has that ever stopped us from trying

I'll send you an email with info about what I've done so far.

 

[Linda B]

I have a SW-like texture for the MFD which I think MFD textures are set up to use any version

 

[skylab]

That's what I was looking for....a SW type of thing. I found some things....one wishlisted for later....wanted time to look around first, to see what's out there.

Just sent you an email

 

[skylab]

Frosty needs an ice cube for his mug!

Hey, thanks for those lnks....I can pour over those and see if there's anything there that can be used. I know there's older stuff for Poser, but I was wondering what's out there for Studio iray now....so this will give me something to pursue

 

[Linda B]

Gah I can't find that texture. It was on share-cg. Mostly gold dress with I think red accents.
