Have a look at the shading model preset perhaps? *wild guess* :)
No clue D:
I know it was something I did though... But I can't tell if it was something I did in Cinema before exporting it, or if it was something in Indigo DX
Interesting that Cinema can render Indigo's materials. Sure, it won't render any speculars or bump, but it renders the textures. Heh. Cinema won't render Maxwell or Vray materials :3
.
.
Hm... In the viewport, Maxwell and Indigo materials are pure white, so when applying a new bitmap material to an object, I have to do so with a native C4D material first to make sure it tiles properly before applying the MX/Indigo material to it. Vray materials show up just fine though~
(They render okay, it's just they're white in the viewport ^^; )
Finished the latest raptorscrap X3
.
.
Once again I rendered out an ambient occlusion layer from Cinema's native render to use.
this was a picture i did back a few years ago
My best friend made a peter pan costume for halloween and i took a picture of her cut and pasted into this back ground with a mill-dragon
i was impressed with bump maps on this Deinonychus render

...yep, finally after months of frustration and multiple support tickets submitted, saw that the last component for completing the workstation build arrived when I got home yesterday. Sometimes complaining is a good thing, especially when you mix a few positive comments in with it.
Today the optical drive goes in, then a few tests some formatting and will be ready to load the OS. As i purchased Win 7 back when I got a good deal on it I imagine there are a number of SPs I;'ll need to DL & Install. Same for my Security Suite (which is first on the list before I go to the MS site as I have to do so in IE (who's security I trust as much as a used car salesman) instead of FF. Fortunatly there is a grase period with MS to get all this other stuff done before registering the OS online. I checked with my ISP and yes I can load the Wireless modem utility on the workstation (for this purpose) as well without having to change my plan.
Finally, in a couple weeks, as I am performing clean installs of everything and building custom runtimes from the the ground up, I will be freed from the 2GB RAM ceiling. I'll be having to recreate the scenes I've been owrking on which is why I am leaving S3A up on the notebook to get all the positions & such\. Unfortunately this means creating my characters from the ground up again as The runtimes will be on a different HD than the applications so If I tired to just copy the scenes over they won't open properly because all the content targets will have changed. Thank heavens for Steph4 as she makes recreating Leela so much easier. Again, I can refer to the version of her that i have on the notebook for morph settings so it won't require a lot of dial tweaking, juts inputting the morph values.
I can also finally see just how well Steph4 and Genesis work together as well. However, my work with 4.5 will mainly be relegated to experimentation as many of the plugins I like to use have not yet been updated for it.
With Carrara8Pro i will have a lot of excellent scene generation tools. It's too bad they never fixed the Daz scene import as posing figures and setting up lights in Studio is a lot simpler. I guess I should DL the latest update of Carrara8 to get the weight mapping, however I'm reluctant to deal with the CMS there too. I want my Carrara to still look and handle like Carrara. At least for Studio4/4.5 the Darkside option makes it look and behave a lot more like the original.
...and I can finally dust off and play with Reality/Lux,to see just what I can do with it (though I have a boatload of texture updates to DL and install).
With more RAM I'll also be able to create and drape clothing in Marvelous Designer as well as PP 2012 without fear of memory limitations crashing the process, so finally I can get the clothing styles and fits I want for my characters.
Then there's the Cycles render engine in Blender which I will finally be able to put to the test.
...and maybe, even maybe Hexagon will behave a little better.
I just wish they could update Bryce to 64 bit.
,..geez, so many tools in the toolbox at my disposal now
Congratulation's!!! I cheers you with a beer in my hand through the computer screen. You'll be lovin your puta now I bet!!
...thank you. Man I'll have to do an IV drip of Red Bull so I can make it through the workday because of all the late evenings I'll be spending playing around and getting back into what I love again.
going to head over to my favourite little brewpub in a bit where they have 10$ pitcher Sunday so I'll hoist one back to you.
....I feel the need, the need, for rendering speed!!!!!
Great to hear KK!! So happy all your troubles with parts are over. I think you will love the new render engine you have built.
Morning. Is sunny and a little warmish here today :)
w00t ! ;)
wow warm in the sun here today, feels great to soak in rays for the first time in what seems like ages, I feel sea sand and surf calling...
looks like Poser's cellular shader at work there...
Great day here but friends in the West are bracing for a very large storm, glad I'm here :)
Latest AIAA newsletter has a lot of cool illustrations of space tech from the 1950s, you have to DL the hirez version though KK you might be out of luck there but I reckon you will love it if you can grab it :)

Non complaint... well sota a complaint/question lol Dont you hate it when the forum goes quiet cos the west is sleeping lol
Mm... No more clicking on YouTube links for me. New rule. I've stopped browsing FA and DA, now I'm refraining from clicking on youtube links.
.
.
Yeah, that's gonna last a long time. *rolls eyes*
But the last one sort of cemented that in place for me.
.
.
Also, would make a good avy?
*hugs* I like the red avi but yes I guess :)
workday for me :)
Compliment: Very nice dragon rezca!
workday for me :)
LOL, I do the same at work haha! (If not too busy of course lol)
Eheh thanks ^_^;
I wish I could make more intricate scenes, but for now I'm content with these simple shots like this :3
.
.
"*hugs* I like the red avi but yes I guess"
The last three youtube links I clicked on in the past five days were either random garbage (Like the two hour nyan cat thing) or were very offensive to me (The dragon arena video, as well as one that contained a LOT of swearwords but nothing of interest( A Family Guy voice over essentially.).), and two that were sort of interesting. So... Yeah. I don't plan on clicking any more links unless I know full well what I'm going to be seeing. The "There ish a dragon in this video" should have been a Red Flag, but I was intrigued by your comment on it ps1borg and curiousity got the best of me.
.
.
Was just asking :3
I don't really plan on changing this one anytime soon, but I've been looking over renders and drawings of mine and searching for parts that would make a good avy for whenever XD
.
.
*edit* To clarify, the second video I didn't like was an FMA clip with Family Guy voices instead. The person who linked it to me was like "Oh you like FMA? THen you'd *love* this" .
Yeah right >_>
It works beautifully, and often I've discovered the simple scenes are often the most creative, its all about the angles, framing, pose and character. And cause lighting. If you master it without a set or background then the intricate stuff eventually becomes fluid! :cheese:
Simple like this?
.
.
I really, really, love the light cast on the floor :3
Sorry, thoughtless of me

That is totally not simple looking! That is SWEET! Love the composition! Great lighting too... See you a natural!
"Sorry, thoughtless of me"
Huzzawha?

"That is totally not simple looking! That is SWEET! Love the composition! Great lighting too… See you a natural!"
Composition? Possibly~ I really liked the camera angle, and was the third one I found. I actually found this one by accident and had to repose the neck to fit it in the frame. Well it fit in before, but it was terribly distorted by the camera settings.
.
Modeling? Nope. The "velociraptor" was a model that was too cute to pass up, which apparently is no longer being sold (It's no longer showing up in the searches on the store I found it at.), and the building itself was downloaded from the CG Lighting Challenge thread(s).
.
Lighting and Materials? Dunno. There was only one light in the scene - a Directional/Infinite Light. As for the materials, they're all either Diffuse or Phong materials using bitmaps from 3DTotal's "Aged and Stressed" DvD. I just plugged them in and hit render.
Non complaint: I'm glad Daz admin culled the list of stickies, page one was feelin crammy
