oh mann,  sometimes i buy an outfit with a specific character in mind,

when the time comes, no idea what it was called.

memory farts

Mistara

sometimes dragging a shader over a plane, plane surface refuses to turn red

its spiting me, isn't it

sometimes trying to load a duf shader, adds a line to the instances, parenting it instead of applying it, more spite?  

Mistara

Ohh  when using the old poser hand poses, carrara is kind enough to ask left or right

Mistara

theres no drop to floor command?

it was in poser?

Mistara

when to use blend, when to use multiply?

i mixed the bump map with the albedo using multiply.  but now i want to add the bump map again but invert the colors.  
 

i can't use a curve filter over the whole body?  would have to do it for each domain?

what does that global shader do?  it doesnt flow down to each domains

Mistara

are they letting people into australia yet?

if they give me disability, i wanna go where the ale is chill, if not, i retire in 2 years.  need ale more than ever.

tired of them telling me not to drink, when i gots more aches and pains than ever. bone gnomes

 

where the roos and wombies roam free. and emus stop by for a visit.

Mistara

i dont understand how i lose the production frame. what am i doing wrong?

viewing proeuction frame and showing production frame are 2 separate steps. easy enough to remember.

mschack

I have found that if you set the production frame almost to the edge of your screen in the assembly room and then later resize the render, sometimes the frame will go off the screen.

 

Mistara

i'm uduslly near the edges.  i should keep it smaller see if that helps.

thanks

under the magnifying glass icon set it to default zoom and whatever to fix it

Mistara

nothing i do in the shader room changes the volumetric cloud.

so i guess there no such thing as a volumetric shader

Thanks all for recommending Genteal tears!! 

It has a similar ingredient to Theoloz, but is different and more gel than water drops, but NOT an icky ointment so I can use it during the day and get on with things.  I got it off eBay UK and have been using it for a few days.  It works well!  I would expect that if it was not high pollen season it would work even better.

THANK YOU  THANK YOU  THANK YOU!

Try opening a plant shader and see if you can figure out how they do that. It's a single shader that allows separate shaders for all domain in one stack.

As for the other thing, try using "Add".

Add will use the 'added' map to brighten any pixels on the 'added to' map. So anything that is not black on the 'added' map will raise the L value (and others) of the other map.

 

If you use the curve filter, you can simply Ctrl+Drag to copy the curve to the other shaders, then just replace the map that's being filtered. Well, that goes for anything - not just the curve filter.

The volumetric cloud model room is a volumetric shader. It's just not used in the texture room. Same with PrimiVol, which takes thing much further. Brilliant plugin!

I believe that the Fire Primitive is also a volumetric shader. I could be wrong

 Yep. Works every time! 

Mistara

all these years been glossing over the insert formula.  can imagine what kind of magics it can do

WendyLuvsCatz

you can always make things out of volumetric clouds by surface replication and making the object they are replicated on invisible, there can be several clouds which can have different colours.

clouds can also have a box, cylinder or sphere shape so can fill most containers

out of curiosity, was reading the blender forum and their headaches with content.

to be fair, blender isn't a daz software. and the bridge is freeware.
