Iray Envirocam

melanie

I just bought RawArt's Iray Envirocam, which looks great, but I can't figure out what to do with it. I can't find any documentation or instructions on how to use it. I'm sure someone out there has figured it out. I really need to put some lightning in a scene and this looks like a good way to do it. Or is there a tutorial online that will show me how this works?

From the ReadMe:  http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/31793/start

• How to Use:

  • Set up your scene as normal and load the EnviroCam.

  • Adjust your camera settings as you normally would.

  • Select the Enviro Panels in the scene tab and apply the Material Preset which you wish to use.

  • When using the individuals select the panel you wish to apply it to in the surfaces tab.

  • Adjust the panels through the general movement settings or through the Adjustment movements (or you can also move the panels individually if needed)

  • Then Render as normal.

• The materials were designed to be used with the Enviro Panels, when using the materials with the single panel you will lose some of the depth of the materials.

Thanks, I'll try that. I looked at the things in there and didn't even know were to begin. I couldn't find a readme.

If you use Daz Install Manager, clicking on the Info symbol (letter i in a circle) on a product row will take you to the readme; otherwise, you need to plug the product SKU into the link I gave above.

One last question (hopefully): where are the materials for lightning? I find rain, clouds, explosions, etc., but I don't see the lightning. It's listed in the product description. I can't find it in the materials list. Or am I just not seeing it?

The lightning options show up in Content Library > Daz Studio Formats . [content library name] > Camera Presets > Iray > Raw EnviroCam > MATs > Individuals

or in Smart Content under Materials:Iray:Props with the panels selected.
