    HeraldOfFire See you are managing to get decent results with lux as mentioned above I also have no issues using UE for the odd render

    Well folks,

    Hang on to your pantyhose, she's here, I've finally cracked her!!

    Yep, I've finally done my definitive Summer Glau!! I used Jojographics Sun V4 as a base, Gen X'ed her head and put her on S5 with an S4 body then tweaked her with Morphs ++. The texture is from Sun and is absolutely perfect. Now how come this only took me part of an evening when all my previous work took more than 6 months!?!

    Whatever, I'm over the moon, she's done!

    CHEERS!

    very nice render

    Merci! one of many many renders.... warning if you or anyone else decide to venture on my D/A or Flickr pages there is some adult oriented material.....but it's all filtered accordingly...

    Only for simple stuff. Portraits and the like. So far, anything remotely complex causes the entire scene to be a noise-ridden mess. This is doubly so when doing anything which uses the daylight system. I'm improving, but not as fast as I'd have hoped.

    ...it looks very close to her hairstyle.

    I lucked out with Leela when AprilYSH came out with her Osean Hair. as it was just about spot on for the kid's unruly mop of red hair. Before that I used Koz's Messy Hair (having to create my own red hair MAT as there wasn't one provided), or the Teen Ashley short hairstyle.

    Another reason to like lux rendering characters to mend with real pics can work really well Sneaking

    A classic for sure BTW most of my stuff is done with Reality & Luxrender. Something else I discovered. Not does 3Dlight rendering still take as long and looks more or less the same as before, but it also renders my computer inoperable to do anything else while rendering. Another reason to why Luxrendering works better for me...

    ...bugger, another post lost to the ozone by a stupid network reset. Really getting tired of trying to remember what I had written because sometimes they occur so suddenly I don't have enough time to copy what I have to the clipbaord.

    ...anyway, I was on to one of the more attractive features of Reality/Lux which allows you to pause a render process, save where it is at, and resume later. With 3Delight, your system is held hostage until it is finished.

    not technically 100% true, if you have the system you can run multiple Daz Studios and render with each of them at the same time, how I know this, did it once by accident LOL, now that does tax one's system but you can do it l.

    Thats about it plus you can queue render with Lux I dont remember DS being this taxing prior to using Lux. Mind you its been more or less a year. Even on my prior lower powered system I could DS render and perform other tasks now if I try everything just locks up!

    This is one of my experiments playing with Genesis in Poser Pro. His name is Grey, possibly the star of a novel one day.

    How's the new system faster rendering times?

    ...don't have the tech savvy to dedicate specific processor threads to different tasks.

    The whole idea of my workstation is to be able to throw the maximum amount of processor, GPU (where Lux or Blender's Cycles engine are concerned), and memory resources at the task of doing a render job

    It renders 'fast' but to get a truly decent image you need hundreds of samples per pixel on complex scenes, so your mileage might vary. A recent image I did with Jacks Classic Deco took over 9 hours and still had light scatter all over the image. I seem to get that a LOT when Lux is dealing with multiple light sources. When I say 'light scatter' what I mean is that one brighter light source overrides another, but not in a linear fashion. Instead you get this speckled effect which leaves small pinpricks of light dotted randomly across the image.

    In some images, that scatter never seems to clear up, others require over 1000 samples before it'll look remotely smooth. Still others end up turning the scatter into fireflies and ruining the image entirely. Here's an example of the light scatter I'm talking about. Note the small whitish dots scattered across the surface. There were just two main light sources used here.

    You men the little spots I get that too when I sometimes try things like adding a mesh light to IBL I learned quick. If I see this form I will change my lighting set up...
