sorry dart, pretty simple, just put a map in the gel section of the light bulb - adds interest because light is more scattered - also did it because I could make the original maps in carrara

 

Oh, the Gel. Yep. I use Gel maps all the time! :)

Classic HW. Magical indeed, really good work.  Maybe that left sleeve could be a bit lower.

Headwax

Not only do I like to have some form of noise, I also like to have visual distraction.  That might be an old movie, a sporting event, a coffee shop, but something that causes me to actively ignore it.  I've always been that way; better able to concentrate when I have to actively ignore something than when I am in peace and quiet.

I'm the same way. I get too distracted in complete silence. I have the radio or tv on at all times.

here's a few with one light bulb, then  two, then three, all in the same place with different maps,

if you twist the bulb then that bulb's maps get out of sinc with the others and could make interesting effects???

 

 

 

 

 

thats kewl.

I listen to youtubes on how to use a fishfinder ;)

But seriously, I worked in a studio shared by 6 other artists for many years.

We quickly learnt that, what one artist wanted to listen to, was what another artist would find distracting.

Hence I work in silence as I find that exterior input takes you out of the zone.

Painting is about action/reaction. Having action/saxaphone solo/reaction kind of gets in the way ;)

Mistara

wip Rising from Fire's of a new Cosmos

experimenting with the fire primitive settings and colors
Modiphier - spherical

made a geoshell of her face.

hdri - Asteroids360 Blue Nebula.hdr
plane pbr - urban decay shaders

Headwax

Wow Mysty thats pretty spectacular! How did you make the geoshells? Love the colours , very rich! 

 

Bunyip02

Looking good Misty !!!

Mistara

thanks.

i took her into the model room.  slected by shader domain, face and lips.  invert selection, then delete.

geoshell kept the uvs and shader domains.

and is easier to open in notepad, i'm manually copying over the thumbnail to the cbr files. spheres not much of a hint fpr faces.

oh, wondrin if making a geoshell skull cap of V4 head would work with those dyn hair presets that only work on V4.
if it keeps the uvs.  is a possibility.
it kills me, it like looking thru the window of the bakery when its closed.  would like to drop that romance hair on a few heads.

Headwax

a quick play ... would like to get some of the freebies in there from the freebie thread

great idea - from memory you can use that daz studio carrara plugin to delete the geometery you dont want and still keep it boned and uveed

I think it would be helpful if participants here looked at their PM's from time to time. :)

Diomede

Might help to be more specific.  I wasted a login.  LOL.

Loggins are never wasted

wip part 1, title: Delusions of Grandeur

render is still baking

predatron set.

the lighting was a tough decision  went with2 shape rings,
1 is set to cast shadows. fromm 300feet in the Z
1 to surround the castle grounds.

set all the bump amplitudes to 100%

dunno why i went so many pixels, delusions of grandeur

Headwax

Wow thats a lot of texture!
