    Well that lastest public release of Daz Studio surprised the hell out of me today. All this year I could not render Genesis even nekkid and now I can, even with the Supersuit on at a fairly high res, nothing changed on my end still the same ole crappy computer. I am well happy...ish.

    Wow! This is great...I love the use of the snow shader and the integration of the two sets. Thanks for including the list of products used and the lighting tips. ;-)

    Thanks Jad, I think I will be fine with DIM, seems fairly straight forward. Already started to set up my new separate content directories and mapped them in DIM.. Shame I can't flag two or more items to be installed in different folders, but a small niggle.

    Thanks for the pic comment too..had a break to have some me time.

    More changes...I am now a Chrome convert...thanks Mike and the Galleries. ;)

    Ok the Favourites are a pain to access unlike IE9 but I can live with that. I love the inbuilt spell checker and able to set it to proper English. ;) It is faster than IE9 with more UI space. Overall I am liking it more than IE now.

    That awesome, lovely and amazing render served as a lovely wallpaper for quite some time here at my place :) at the moment I have my Bathing Bird 2 (the tos breaking version ;P seen on dA) and Pete's render going around as wallpaper, think they changed every 30 minutes or something like that :)

    I like Chrome, took a LOT of time and hardcore convincing from osme friends of mine to make me change, but I have not regret changing to it one single day after that :)

    beautiful work Szark! thanks for posting which items you used in it. Lots of renders I have looked at I wonder how did they do that or what product did they use. Its nice to see the ability of products this way

    Awesome renders Szark, the hours you've put into DS really shows in your renders.
    That's one aspect of the gallery I like, the option to add links to contents used, however not everybody uses the feature.

    PS. Nice Gallery.

    Gotta hand it to you Szark, the quality of your renders in both quality and composition are brilliant. Learning loads from your helpful tutorial breakdowns too.

    Many thanks

    Thanks Jay but by the looks of your Vue Gallery you aren't so bad yourself. Nice collection.

    Thanks mate, the compliment is very much appreciated. Been a Vue user for about 4 years now so feel very comfortable with it. Daz has been a very different learning curve though especially with regards to lighting. Still not massively happy with my importing the .obj file into Vue so may continue expanding on composting the Daz render with the Vue backplate.

    Have you ever tried exporting a terrain from Vue into Daz? May give it a try over the weekend

    Thanks again

    Jay

    I can import OBJ but no exportie from Vue...I have tried Bryce terrians but the mesh res has to be very high or good displacement maps, the procedural to texture maps conversion in Bryce is crap so for the most part this is why I used Vue when wanting to do outdoor stuff. But now that DS has Instancing making outdoor envros can be fun, if your system can cope. :)

    Sorry I'm probably being a bit thick but how do you use instances for outdoor environments? I understated how the work for multiple figures but am struggling to get my head round using it for backgrounds!

    Many thanks

    On another note CCleaner really helped this ageing computer to run faster....I will be shelling out for the full program when I get a new PC. Oh the difference is so noticeable.

    Ah thanks for clarifying. I've found that since changing my main hard drive to solid state Daz and Vue really appreciate it!

    Oh man I can't wait for my new PC, SSD will be part of the setup along with 32GB of Ram.

    Thanks
    For me seeing the other pics humbles me to be honest, I never expect my images to be liked by others and it blows me away when things like this happens.
