I saw Eblank's textures disappeared and she's posting at Renderosity now, first she did it just sometimes, she preferred ShareCG, so I think something is happened...

Cool.  Thank you for the update... I'll know to look for Eblank's stuff at Rendo.

Fantasy Hike

Since this is a 'dream' vacation... going on a scenic hike and meeting the locals 

Nice twist on the "dream" theme!    Thank goodness the locals appear friendly.  Though, if I saw a green, 2 foot diameter flying bug, I'm pretty sure I would be running / screaming in the opposite direction!   

Ha, ha, I'd probably do the same IRL, but since it's a dream...

I have a question. I have an image that uses three copies of the same two paid-for items. Would that count as six paid-for items, or two paid-for items? [There are 16 freebies, and either 3 or 7 paid paid for items depending on the answer above. Want to use the same character as they are supposed to be sisters.]

I'm pretty sure that should be just 2 paid for items.  Otherwise, the opposite would be true where I could put 5 copies of the same freebie as my "minimum of 5".  In the past, copies or parts of any single product, whether paid or free, were still counted as only 1 product.

That was my thought too, but I don't want to assume. I have tweaked each character a bit with negative emissivity on two, different hair, a little tweak with the G8F body morphs to differentiate them, so despite having the same base morph and texture they don't look like clones, instead look different, but with a close family relationship.

I say this is only two paid items, you're making multiple use of, we're not counting the freebies double when you use them twice, so that's only fain

I hope that helps

Thanks for clarifying. Now to start the long task of identifying the freebies again. JackyBrown really seems to have that off pat, and I think the rest of us have something to learn. It's marginally more difficult when your internet contact is an Android tablet, but not impossible by a long shot.

The system that works for me: Whenever I install a freebie, I drag-and-drop the source address from my Internet browser to the location in Finder/Explorer where the freebie is installed. This will create a new file which is a internet link to the source website. This works in both OSX and Windows.

Whenever I want to know where a freebie is from, I right-click in DAZ Studio on the item in question, then choose "Browse to File Location".

@richardandtracy The skin is looking amazing, is that due to the tone mapping?

richardandtracy

I don't know, to be honest. The CB Guilia texture is a really good texture to start with, having freckles etc. It is, however, very light and makes the character look rather washed out (but not as much as the CB Blue texture which also makes them look grey), so I used my ancient copy of PaintShop Pro 5 to reduce the lightness bit of Hue, Saturation & Lightness. Then I did a little to the hue (something like +5% in PSP5, which probably has no sensible real-world equivalent), making it a little redder. I did the same for every bit of the skin texture.

Think I also did a little to edit the sss map on the nose. It's a bit pink as it is, but reduced from where it was initially, think over the nose area I reduced the saturation of the sss map with an oval selection tool in PSP5 covering the nose and a little of the cheeks. That toned the Rudolph nose down from a beacon to a bit pink. 

For the two characters on the right of the image I also added an emissivity of -6000 lumens per square metre. That made it a bit darker still, but seems to have emphasised ambient occlusion in skin creases/recesses (eg under chin & between collar bones) but less in areas where the skin doesn't face skin. It's something I have been tinkering with since January and I can't really remember everything I did, but do know I'm starting to get quite pleased with it now.

Closeup I think I need a bit more texture to the skin (pbr micropores might be nice!), especially on the lips but I don't often do closeup portraits. However, I did one last night of the character on the left after adding a bit of peach fuzz from Mousso's Rhogue just to see how it'd go, and was reasonably pleased - only a link as it's not an entry - https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/gallery/this-kitten-has-claws/3010559/

Regards,

Richard

ioonrxoon

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I'll have to give it a try. The close-up looks great as well, you really managed to bring out the skin details. For the emissive did you use a white color?

richardandtracy

Yes, it is white, which when emitting negative emissivity, it sucks the light out without changing the colour.

They look like they are out to have some serious fun... just be sure to stay out their way! 

Great idea and a beautiful render!  I agree with ioonrxoon, the close up is fantastic!

3D Art Freebie Challenge June 2021 "Dream Vacation"

Below is verse 3 (at 3:07) of One Rainy Wish by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (© 1967)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTx0U-i27hk

"It's only a dream
 But I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
 The sky was filled with a thousand stars
 While the sun kissed the mountains blue
 And eleven moons
 Played across the rainbows
 Above me and you"

This is the elaborated second idea I had and my second entry for this month... Keep dreaming!

[Best watched at full size for details.]

"It's only a dream..."

 

Starring: Ella

The tale: (Based on a true story.)

"Come on Mom, hurry up please, the coffee is getting cold and I really need to go to the bathroom myself too...", thought Ella. She is on holiday in France with her mother and is sitting on a picturesque terrace in a suburb of Paris, enjoying the early morning sun...

In waking reality this much desired vacation will unfortunately not be possible, her mother has been seriously ill for over 2 years (and absolutely unable to travel anymore) and the outlook is really bad. It's just a dream...

The tale: (Based on a true story.)

"Come on Mom, hurry up please, the coffee is getting cold and I really need to go to the bathroom myself too...", thought Ella. She is on holiday in France with her mother and is sitting on a picturesque terrace in a suburb of Paris, enjoying the early morning sun...

In waking reality this much desired vacation will unfortunately not be possible, her mother has been seriously ill for over 2 years (and absolutely unable to travel anymore) and the outlook is really bad. It's just a dream...

That is such a touching backstory... my heart aches after reading it!     

Again, a beautiful render.  I really like the camera angle you used for the upper image!

I'm sorry @Sky77, I don't want to make anyone feel bad. On the contrary. Of course I make these renders for fun and relaxation but maybe it's also a bit therapeutic, after posting, listening to Fleetwood Mac, tears came to my eyes too... Thank you so much for your comment!

Sitting by the pool especially today sounds really nice!  Beat's staring at a computer all day!  

Great poolside render.  Lot's of fantastic detail.

No need to apologize!  The best thing about art is how it touches our emotions in so many ways... anyway, I'm just a big softie!

Katywhite, I love the idea, looks really nice. The background looks possibly a little even coloured, though. I have memories of going to the Great Barrier Reef and it was possible to see a fair distance through the water, with lovely encaustics dappling the solid surfaces and underside of the waves. Can I suggest you try seeing if you like it even more with Namtar3D's underwater HDRI here - https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/82773/underwater-hdri. You may think it's better without, but it may add something.
