    Thanks guys. I really appreciate it, especially when there are so many amazing renders on this thread. It took me forever to do that Sargent Pepper's one.

    ...thanks, Still waiting for Wowie's "mega shader" (particularly to make tweaks to the skin), however, a little playing around with the Metallised Glass Shader seems to have paid off as the shader itself opens a number of additional surface channels. Nice to be able to finally do away with the"Poser look" for glass, particularly on the bus windscreen and shelter windows. Pretty darn close to the results I got in Iray.

    Yes definitely an improvement! Exactly what channels are you talking aboutblush, you got me curious:)

    ...here is an SS of the settings pane for the shelter windows showing all the additional channels.

    Thanks, very interesting indeed! I figure it's a shader mixer network then, so it can be imported into shadermixer for further customization? Is this in the DAZ store?

    ...haven't messed with the Shader Mixer much at all (looks like a spilled bowl of Udon noodles to my dyslexic eyes).

    Here's the product link:

    https://www.daz3d.com/metalized-glass-shaders-for-daz-studio

    Be sure for thin glass (like windows and containers to set the IOR to 1.00 as I did as well as the specular glossiness to 100%.  For solid glass you can leave the IOR set where it is.  For the windows in the shelter and bus I used Crown Glass: Clear (in spite of the label showing as "Carnival Glass" in the SS), and also reduced the specular strength from 300% to 150%.  To add a tint to glass, use the refraction colour.

    Thanks! Hehe it's apparently been on my wishlist for agescool, time to do something about it, looks promising;)

    Ran into the one solid thing 3dl does better than Iray -- displacement.

    Wanted to do a space station with a texture-based 'city,' but... welp, that wasn't going to happen in Iray. Briefly experimented with placing buildings and meh.

    So went over to 3dl...

    With some postwork to enhance the look (and also cover up for how bleh the 'buildings' look up close)

    Pretty cool stuff! I'm impressed that you got those round shapes to look so smooth. Did you tile the textures? It doesn't look like you did:)

    ..doing some more experimentation using the Metallic Glass partial instead of full presets.  A bit better control and not as much "backtracking" needed.  Got the bottle looking just as good as the first time still need to work on the shelter windows a bit more.

    The bus is giving me the most trouble, the windscreen looks fine but the side windows appear to be slightly "fogged" almost looking like unconverted Poser shaders.

    They are tiled, actually... although the ‘ground’ is fairly large scale (I think only 2x8).

    I used Suburbia filterforge texture, although the texture was a PAIN to generate; I ended up using a 2048x map because 4096 just ... would ... not ... render

    Made it seamless and changed scale to 256.

    I love filterforge for creating oddball textures as I need.

    Nice job on the stanford torus!

    Another little IBLM scene. Larger version in gallery The original was 2311x1300 and  rendered in a respectable 14mins. Contains lots of terradome3 stuff converted using Oso3D's (free) WT3 Terrain Base, other iray textures converted with Esemwy's IrayTo3Delight conversion script, a shader mixer atmosphere camera, and lots of wowie's lumina presets for US2.

    Very nice! Yea rendertimes are amazing especially if you're used to rendering with the UE2:) Can't wait to test the updated version of IBLM, Parris support in the commercial thread has been extraordinary!

    Ok testing updated IBLM with UberSurface SS skin, normal maps and an AoA distant light in progressive mode. No artifacts so far, rendered in 15 min.

    Had to render a close-up before moving on:) Parris mentioned in the IBLM commercial thread that the default render mode is faster than progressive, strangely enough that is not the case on my Imac (8Gb RAM, Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB). Progressive is roughly 3 times faster, go figure.

    REYES will be faster on simple scenes with no to minimal raytracing. With heavy raytracing, the dedicated raytracer obviously outperforms it.

    The girl looks great throughout, same as clothing. Materials-wise, I mean.

    Those wall textures begin to creak in closeups, though... How is that model mapped? Would tiled textures work?
