    Hi everyone.

    Great to see RRRR renders and discussion.  Can't remember the last time I had the chance to participate.  Here is my pull.  A flamboyant fur-clad hag must end up in the arms of a cowboy in the Old West, which is a good excuse for anyone to be late. No, I will do anything but that.  smiley

    Thanks, MelanieL!

    Hi Diomede! I'm glad you're back. I look forward to that render.

    Hey, folks, I need a bit of assistance here.

     

    I'm trying to create an effect similar to a jet's contrail, only, well, noisier and dirtier: a stream of thick, roiling smoke, kind of sooty.  In Iray, as if we needed the extra complication.

     

    I looked for a 'cloud' shader, that I could grunge up a bit, and apply to a cylindrical object, maybe add a measure or two of randomness to some of the bricks, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with how -- or even if -- the Shader Mixer in DAZ Studio works in Iray.  Even a 'canned' shader would be welcome, if that ends up being the way I have to go.  (Like maybe one of Ron's brushes, or Jepe's effects.)

     

    Any suggestions?  I'll appreciate all over ya...!

  • Ken OBanionKen OBanion Posts: 1,447

    And on a related note....

     

    Does anybody know how I can model a visualization of a Mach wave...?

    Sickleyield's Swift Steam for Iray  or Fuseling's Filthy Dirty Shaders might work. They have props with shaders.

    PS There are some free grunge shaders on Renderosity, or just Google "grunge shaders." You can create a geometry shell on anything in DAZ and put the dirty shader on it.

    I have to wait until my data plan cycles (tomorrow) before I can upload my render; once I hit my bandwidth limit (which typically is about four days into the billing cycle), I get throttled back to damn near dial-up speeds!  Meanwhile, it’s five o’clock (well, five-till; close enough!), and there’s a Martini in front of me (and a little to my left; thank goodness I’m at least semi-ambidextrous -- well, for the important things, anyway!), and that means it’s time to move on to Round 2!

     

    The pull:

    2963 – Colors for Love Me Hair (Love Me Hair is for V4)

    37 – Giselle for V4 (How convenient!)

    1724 – Gamine (G3F; that one’s a little freaky-sounding, I don’t know…!)

    6574 – Cozy for Day Dreamer (G3F)

     

    Victoria 4 and Genesis 3; I haven’t done anything with V4 in ages! 

     

    *Sigh*  Whatever….

     

    UPDATE: While searching for the Colors for Love Me Hair package, I discovered an entire order that I somehow neglected to download!  From August of 2015!  Thirty-three items, mostly hair and hair textures.  (Practically all Platinum Club, too, so you know I got some really tasty deals on them!)

     

    You can blame the Martinis if you want.  I am.

    I pretty much knew what I wanted to do with this render from the very start; then, when I saw that nothing in my pull would prove to be an impediment, I just went for it!  I did have to do a bit of experimenting, to get the effect just right, and I made the mistake of thinking the Day Dreamer outfit (required by the Cozy textures) was a Genesis 3 clothing set; it was actually for Genesis.  I tried to fit it to a Genesis 3 figure, and when I imported the clothed figure into the scene, the skirt and blouse kept blowing up!  I couldn’t very well leave her sitting in the car naked (although that is my usual modus operandi), so I swapped her for a genuine Genesis character.

     

    This entry consists of two separate renders: the first is for validation and verification, to demonstrate that I did, in fact, use everything in my pull; because, in the second image (the “money shot”, as it were), a lot of those items are not readily discernable.  And I jacked around with the camera for more than an hour, in an effort to make them so.  Alas…, it didn’t happen.

     

    I gave up on trying to visualize the Mach wave.  I figured out a way to do it using Blender, but it also would have required some seriously inventive shader work, and I really don’t think have the shader chops to pull that off – yet.

     

    Also used:

    Divided Highway by First Bastian (purchased explicitly for this entry!)

    Jepe’s PillarZ and PillarZ II

    Bunny Dazed outfit for Victoria 4 (and dForce worked on it!  I was not expecting that!)

    Shiloh HD for Genesis 3 Female

    Tinkerbell Hair

    Casual Style for Genesis 3 Female (required by the Gamine textures)

    Victoria 5

    Pure Hair Crazy for Genesis

    Day Dreamer Outfit for Genesis (required by the Cozy textures)

    Roads Royds (from Renderosity; they had to name it that, due to copyright considerations.  It is, in fact, modeled after the Rolls-Royce Ghost; unfortunately not the Black Badge Edition.  That is one seriously sexy-looking ride!)

    (And I re-used the Eliot character from my last render, suit, hair, and all, only I made him lose the face-diaper!  Yeah, I recycle; what’s your point?)

    @melanieL  #02  Great image... I like the reflections in the ripples  and that grasshopper just might be hiding from the seagulls... me thinks that they have a lean and hungry look about them

    @luci45  #2  you have the manga down perfectly!  i love her expression as she flies into her rage.

    @aprilshowers2065  #01  Beautiful one!  she had better take a couple steps backward.... sometimes the spider is not charging her but is trying to get back to its nest under the grating she is standing on.

    @ken obanion  #2  Deja vu, all over again.  I was crossing the arizona desert the morning the columbia broke apart and did not know what had happened until I got to quartzite.  I can imagine what it might have been like in texas.  good one!

  • aprilshowers2065aprilshowers2065 Posts: 703

    Thanks Gopherus! Heh, she's probably best taking at least few steps back, whatever the spider's intention. laugh

    I really want to join in on this. I spent a couple of hours yesterday and today adding my assets to a spreadsheet. I am now in the process of sorting out what I can use as opposed to the garbage I got for free that has required products that I do not own, etc. I am also "unpacking" the bundles. This is a lot of work, but I was planning on doing this before I even stumbled across this forum. No I have an incentive to get it done.

    On a brighter note, I do have the snippets provided by bohemian3 working nicely. Thank you for that!

    Sooooo... there is my excuse for being late on rendering a coming late excuse!

    I turn my back for a few days and there's so much to catch up on:

    aprilshowers #1 -"Shortcut" is great, I love it! I'd be out of there pretty quickly.

    Ken  #2 - another great idea (and apparently those near misses are getting more common too - there was one just a few miles from me reported on the local news a few days ago). I know what you mean about camera angles - I've spent ages sometimes trying to find one that showed everything and had to compromise on coverage vs drama.

    Luci #3 - a real "Luci" production! Great use of your pull and a very nice render.

    Totte #3 - what a totally whacky idea! Nicely done too.

    Gopherus - thank you for your comments on my second entry.

    Dragon Attack

    Honestly, Boss, we set off in good time for work, but while we were walking across the bridge over the ravine there was a dragon attack! We had to take cover until they flew away.

    Used:
    Beach Cafe Promenade
    Orestes Iray HDRI Environments - High Bluff Overlook
    Weekend Fun for Genesis 2 Female(s)
    DAZ Dragon 3 Morphs (black dragon thin body with head shape 2, grey dragon heavy, muscular and short-limbed)

    Also Used:
    DAZ Dragon 3 (of course) with Daz Dragon 3 Textures (on black dragon)
    Stephanie 6
    Soleil Hair for G2F and G3F
    Olympia 6
    Devil May Deluxe Hair for G2F, G3F and G8F

    MICK-Bundle (SKU 40429)

    Wow, a little bundle-heavy! I think this is going to be more of a challenge than the last three draws.
