    When I got the Belle 6 character, I was prompted that she has an add-on, Elize, by Sabby and Seven, so I added that to my wishlist and just (finally) got it!

    They still need a lot of work before they can play the parts of Dartan and his Rose, but they look pretty cool even not finished, I think

     

    Beautiful couple! If she is 162 cm tall, he must be 190 cm?

    Thanks! 187.96 cm (6' 2") so, yeah... close enough! ;)

    @Dartanbeck, @Diomede, thank you!

    is it still a still life if there's like a butterfly or grasshopper in it?

    macro life?

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,326

    I think it depends upon what kind of grasshopper or butterfly it is?

    Zombie Grasshoppers and Butterflies still life!

    Or would that be more of a motionless undeath?

    motionless still life smiley

    i have yet to do a good dimpled orange or a cucumber.  
    there a special word for the dimples on a golfball?
    pineapple bumpmap.

    thinkin, using the displacement magic to use a cobblestone bumpmap on a plane to create a cobblestone geometry.  then use physics to run water rivulets down the cobblestone groovlets.
    how tiny would those particles have to be to look like water molecules those h2os smiley

    Depending on how close the camera needs to be, just scale the cobblestone to work with the metaballs water sim... sure it would look really cool.

    Another fun displacement from a map method is to bring the map into the terrain editor. I did that with cobblestone and it turned out realy nice. For particles, I think you might need the geometry or calculations, if it did work, might take forever. Still fun to check out though and see for sure.

    The deep thoughts of MistyMist!

    adjusting my thinking, it's not z-depth in carrara, it is Y depth.  why ask Y, think Y not Z

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    tee hee, my g3m in carrara needs a carrara hairs treasure trail

    to make g3m/f blink, rotate 3 bones.  on the bright side, givres exacting control

    cant figure out how to save as pose, got as far making editable thingee but cant save it to clips 

    1am, time for last cuppa

    pupil morphs work,
    none of the pose controls, like arm up/down work, havent messed with the whynots yet.

    needs some shader work >.<  mebbe delphinia shader will help him

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,326

    Thanks for the music video! I love the Bangels and their version of that song!

    Back then, I had a HUGE crush on Bass Player, Michael Steele, who was also a former member of the Runaways

    they used the runaways song 'cherry bomb' in guardians of the galaxy, wasnt expecting it,

    did a few renders of g3m with his geograft.  did the trick, deleting graft section from the gens .dsf file.  fixed the uvs woes. smiley  the renders are on my da.

    did one with the boxer shorts from m7 intimates.  did a lot of converting on his hair and clothes today.  i dont really have all that much of g3 clothes.

    this render with leandro hair and beard. Merrick skin.  not my dream geralt yet.  geralt in hot tub like in beginning of witcher3

     

    really should setup a sss skin shader >.<

    to load a lightweight genesis figure into carrara, i haz ta manually dele all the morphs i not using? ? ?

    need to figure out the necesary ones for mimic, and breathing

    Funny. I was just pondering this very thought, and I think I may have come up with a solution

    • Create a new library for Daz Studio (even though we'll be using Carrara)
    • Download (manually) and install only the Genesis Essentials
    • Repeat this in the same library for the other Genesis family members so we have a basic setup for Genesis 1, G2M, G2F, G3 if wanted

    Now that we have a separate library with only the basics of each Genesis figure, we can make copies of this library

    For each copy:

    • Give the library a good, recognizable name
    • Download (manually) and install only the morphs wanted for this particular library
    • Do this for each Genesis version appropriate for the library name

    I'm fairly certain that this will reduce the available morphs on the Genesis loaded from such a library to only what we have installed in that particular library

    Savvy? ;)

    Try this (see attached zip)

    This is a basic SSS procedural skin shader, which can work on any skin part of a model - because it's procedural

    If you only want the SSS, simple open this shader and open the SSS channel and copy it, then paste it into the SSS of all skin shaders

    Another method is to use this shader and replace the Color (tx), Highlight (Spec), and/or Bump with the texture map of your choice

    He's looking really good! 

    So... what are you saying... you have G3M working in Carrara?

    I wasn't either! Lot of good tunes in that flick - I love Cherry Bomb! I was rockin' when that one came on!

    ty for shader.  

    yep g3m and his pro bit.smiley 

    and g3f pose controls workin for most part, and expressions based on pose controls.
    was a folder nder morphs for the pose controls, there all kinds of alias in the nodes, tested a few, alias not making her crashy. yayy.
    prolly better to keyframe rotations directly, though

    working on kenji and his clothes last few hours

    pose controls seem to be working now, not all.JPG

    I've tried your method and couldn't get the expected result... :(

    When I deleted all the suggested text I couldn't open the figure at all.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    the geograft fix or the blended wm conversion?
