    Now, the big question: install and be late for work, or behave myself and play tonight?

    Thank you for your support ! I did with all my old stuff but mostly setup up scenes so I can merge elements later , it is a lot of fun doing it .. please enjoy the pack !

    <sigh> - it was an instant buy. That first promo picture would have sealed the deal even if I hadn't been following this thread; I mean, food that looks like food and not plastic! But I forsee a number of l-o-n-g days ahead, retexturing half the props in my library. :-)

    The pack have just 2 PBR sand shader , one is dry the other represent darker more wet look , it is under Construction  folder in vol.2 that has 445 shaders , there was a render with preview materials back in the thread with one of the sand as ground  , you need to scale the shader to match your scene proportions , nothing really mysterious about , it is not procedural shader, only 70 Fabrics are procedural the rest is texture based

    Hello, I tried to quickly browse the first 15 pages but couldn't find any infos on the sand shaders, would it be possible to learn more about it ? That's the n°1 thing I'm looking for, in term of shaders, as I can't get the look I want on an of the beach scenes/props i've got.

    I've got it while you were posting your replies it seems :) , thank you for the help. Quickly tested it 2 minutes ago (dry one), and it looks much better than the original textures, so I'm happy - Plus now,I have about 450 more great shaders to play with heh :)

    I am happy to hear that , make sure you scale it proper only and if need adjust Normal higher or lower and it should do the magic

    Nice to see another happy face ! You welcome !

     I am starting to feel the Christmas in April myself or maybe just a touch of spring fever!  anyway I enjoy it as much as you all do ..

    look what I got in MY inbox .. I spill coffee on my keyboard LOL  I was thinking this dude flirting with me or something when I realized he is talking about vol.2 lol  this joke is funny as hell 

    Selfish love yeah we're both alone
    The ride before a fall
    But I'm gonna take not only this mossy stone
    I just got to have it all

    You took me in and you drove me out
    Yeah, you had me hypnotized
    Lost and found and turned around
    By the volume in your sliders

    I've seen your Promos a thousand times
    Every day we've been apart
    And I don't care about the sunshine, yeah !

    'Cause Shaders, shaders, I'm coming home
    I'm coming home ....

    That is cute !  his life would be very short in my hands .. 

    One tip not the images related but since gummy bear shader was scaled in volume to actual very small gummy bear the size of a finger tip , sometimes things look different on smaller or bigger models due to volume , you can always adjust the SSS Amount for more dense or less dense appearance to your personal taste but just a slightly , also caustic need to be involved in rendering gummy bear shader for optimal effect but this is up to the creator .

    The gummy bear shader was tricky as it need to be transparent on some level but not showing trough the background colors too much but mostly the light reflections but it looks just fine in your render  , thanks for sharing .. it was my first Gummy Dragon I saw lol

    Thanks a lot!

    Its a bit like those Giant 2kg Lindt Chocolate Easter Bunnies they sell here in germany.

    BTW. Is there any trick to change the way a shader is shown in Texture Shader View without changing the Iray Render.

    Example: Gummy Bare Shader is almost transparent in Texture Shader View which makes it difficult to work with.

    Generally a lot of very good Iray Shaders are behaving badly in Texture Shader View

    Never was, always just WIP Previews to keep us addicted ;-)

    If I understood it correctly Skin Shaders are going to be Vol4

    I never work on Texture View , only on Hiden Lines as for me it is best way so I can see if there is some poke or not , you can't shange the preview as the Open GL does not render iray shaders other than it think will be volumetric that why make it translucent in the view . DS was not made for Iray other way we would have real time previews with HD Graphics GPU only  as other programs have .but who knows maybe in the future it will be ..

    Skin shaders was just a W.I.P idea not a product yet and not sunner  than June  , before that 3 other packs are coming 

    Thanks for the Support ! :) and stay tuned
