    Physical Based Rendering

    The Shaders with the Food are called PBS Shaders Volume 2 https://www.daz3d.com/mec4d-pbs-shaders-vol-2-for-iray

    Here is the second option I found for Boba Tea. 

    I used the Cup for the Frappuccino in the Burger Restaurant Set https://www.daz3d.com/burger-restaurant

    The Burger restaurant set is on sale right now, and very inexpensive. The Frappucino is included. You'll need to hide the straw and the ice cream on the top to use this for Boba. (Unless you like whipped cream on your Milk Tea, some do). The straw won't do because it is simply too narrow for boba to fit. You will need to make a primitive tube to work for your straw. I used the gummy shaders again to recolor it: https://www.daz3d.com/gummy-shader-presets-for-iray

    I widened and shortened the frap prop slightly. Then I put the boba I had already made which is grouped into the cup. The boba has to be as close to the edge of the cup as you can get them or they won't be seen. You can make the drink more transparent, but then it wouldn't have quite a milk tea look. 

    For the Drink, I used Mec4D's White Chocolate Shader. It is nice looking, and easy to change the color of, so you can just add a color to it when applied.

    I replaced the glass shader this time, with Mec4D's Shader for Bubble Air Glass. This is included in Set 2, And is in the Glass section.   I think this made the bubble lid look pretty nice.

    I think that may be all my Boba Options. Another Option is the Brain Freeze set, but the Slushee is too mounded for Boba.

    This looks good! Thanks for all the links and info. I will experiment with the shaders I have until I can pick up the Mec4D shaders. They have been in my wishlist for a while, but I don't recall seeing them go on sale. I will have to prioritize them when I can.  At least the gummy shaders are cheap. Also, where is that cupcake from?

    I prefer Peanut Butter rendering. laugh

    I used to buy marzipan based 3D sculptures of pigs and other cartoony type sculptures to eat on special holidays with I lived in Switzerland. I've never seen such things in the US.

    I feel like the pink liquid doesn't refraction the light properly. Is it possible that you forgot to switch off "thin walled"?

    I did not adjust the shader at all, except to allow it to be slightly clearer. This way the drink boba is visible. I shall try your suggestion though.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,639

    Adjusting the thin-walled setting  did not make a difference in the appearance of the boba tea.

  • HylasHylas Posts: 4,981

    Huh. I don't have MEC4D's shader set so I can't check myself. I just think that if you stick a straw into a jar of (semi)translucent liquid, the straw's "line" will "break" from the liquids refraction. I don't know if it's clear what I'm saying... usually you get that effect by turning Thin Walled to OFF, Refraction Weight to 1, and Refraction Index to 1.3

    But if the shader isn't already using Refraction Weight, then turning it on might disable some of its other properties. Again I don't have the shader myself so I can't check. Ok, I'll stop nerding now coollaugh

    Boba tea needs to be mostly opaque. It can have milk in it. It is hard to make it suitably opaque with the boba visible at the bottom though. Heh. I however appreciate the feedback.

    Toon Owen and Boyd. Yes, I gave Owen the Frappe textures on his drink.  I am still working on making a nice-looking Boba set.

    So where do people get royalty-free fabric textures? I am looking for a t-shirt sort of Jersey Knit gray material. I would like to make a few simple freebie Items.

    That sort of 'striation' used to be called heather or grey heather I think.

    Okay, So here are two freebies for OOT's Mega Wardrobe Raglan Shirt for Genesis 8 Male, of whom I am a tremendous fan.  I am just getting my feet wet making textures, so forgive my amateur efforts. I am neither OOT, Nor Shanna's Soulmate, but a rank amateur. I have, however, given these shirts some life in colors I like. 

     

    There are two textures here: Love is Love and a shirt that says His in graffiti script. That is all. Enjoy

    Did you see Rocco HD for Genesis 8.1 Male | Daz 3D in the store today? Looks more like Owen than Owen. laugh

    Okay so the wonderful shark figure by RawArt, comes with a nice bodysuit. DIM Calles it "Bodysuit for Jawz" however, installed it is called Shark Surfer Bodysuit.

    Yes, there is a space for a dorsal fin, and for arm fins on the arm, but overall, I kind of like it. There is a weird... Tag, or something on the original texture near the crotch, that really bugged me. So I just went into the texture and other maps and removed them from the BMP files. It looked more like an error and was distracting me, so it is now gone. 

    It fit okay, but there was some poke-through on Owen's thighs. I just hid them.

    Rocco is so dreamy. I already have a somewhat similar character by Emrys but I think I'm gonna have to get this one too smiley

    Yeah, I was kind of disappointed to see the shark mermaid & all the surfwear because of course I'm going to buy it all. I was nearly done with buying all the 'beach products' (that I want) in the DAZ Store and these come along.

    I like the wetsuit set. There aren't many g8m wetsuits. I have a couple for earlier figures, but not any for G8m.

    One thing I'd really like is a 'wave' to surf on. There are some fairly decent ocean surfaces, but no surfable waves

    FirstBastion is just about to retire one!

    And I saw a more extreme one in Adam Thwaites' store.

    Yeah, me too. In suitable PBR sets of surf waves that morph.

    I think I have the first bastion one. Perhaps a shader might make it look more modern.

    I have that one and couldn't get it to look right in PBR.

    Here is the best one I've found. It's on ShareCG and a freebie too: One big beach prop - DAZ Studio - ShareCG
