    Say, I have a goofy question...
    Could I use the shaders that come with this set on, say, the Supersuit, to simulate a supernatural or fiery aura around a figure, or are the shaders built to the unique construction of the objects included with this set?

    Oh my god, that's fantastic. I thought they were billboards from the promos and copy! You really should be making make more of a deal about how unique this is for DS effects. It almost slipped right under my radar. If the thread hadn't tweaked my interest in checking out the video I'd never have known.

    Ooh, and they have morphs too?! For bendy flames and different shaped puffs... very cool.

    Yup, at first I thought they were billboards but nope, all morphable objects with some amazing effects. Love to see Smay make some more of these. Like magical effects. As much as I love the billboards for these sorts of things they loose something if you move the camera to other positions, then you have to reposition the billboard. These effects will look great any angle so yea, PLEASE make some cool magical effects if you make enough to warrant expanding on this sort of store item.

    THANKS for the great work and brilliant idea! :-)

    I'd buy those, too.

    Yup, instant sale from me as well! I think allot of us like making fantasy / magical based renders and animations so magical effects created how Smay made this set would be fabulous!

    I couldn't resist picking these up either

    It looks like the different objects all have three layers to them, each named material 1, material 2, material 3

    The MAT presets which come with the items then apply a different shader to each of those three zones on the items.

    So to do what you'd want to do, you'd have to apply one of her presets to one of her objects, and then save out three different shaders, one from each of the mat zones. You could then conform three figures to each other, and have one be at 100% scale, the next 99% and the last 98% and apply one of the three shaders to each of your three figures.

    My scale solution is flawed in some ways, but it sets you off in the right direction. You might also try the bulk and thin morphs.

    I made 2 conforming suits really quick in zbrush by layering my base meshes, and deflating and polishing the inner layers. The first 3 renders here are a 2 layered version (using Material 1 and Material 2 descendingly) rendered in default lighting. The second batch of three in the post that follows uses the same (i hope) shaders applied to a three layered figure.

    said three layered versions. again, these are essentially just concentric nestled figures. the setup on smay's props is a bit more discerning.

    At first I thought they were billboards, and if I hadn't read this thread - I'd probably miss the option to buy this set. It's nice to see some good props that can be viewed from any angle. Now about light that conforms to the props...

    Thanks, joe. Now that you've provided a guide, I'll play around a bit and see what I come up with. Thanks!

    Could you create the same effect with a base figure and a couple of geometry shells?

    My first render with one of these flames! They're easy to work with and render up beautifully.


    Here's the larger version: http://xyshurondor.deviantart.com/art/Temple-of-Fire-2-368970930?ga_submit_new=10%3A1367388004


    There are NSFW pics on that page (nudity), but they are tagged mature and you will not see them unless you both look at the whole account page and have "view mature" turned on in your deviantart options.

    I totally agree! I'm always looking for good magical effects, the flames were in my cart the instant I saw them... and other effects would be as well, I guess :)
