yup, plenty of space in back . . . .
the water fall can be used with Fluidos?
thought i read somewhere someone did a simulation. but can't find the post
i torn between watering hole and soggy bottom.
It was built with Fluidos, but the simulation files were far to big to include with the product. Plus it's chronically slow to simulate (literally weeks!) I haven't tried to recreate it in v2 (life's too short, etc). Render time is pretty decent tho.
And of course, Soggy Bottom is simply divine (maybe take a towel...)
Meanwhile, WH also makes an appearance on an ad hoarding in an upcoming set...
Thanks.
tho i'm having trouble getting to my cart 502 errors all afternoon
rules of acquisition number 1, get the 20 percents gc off first. tee hee soggy bottom, makes me think a baby needs a fresh nappy lol
i'm confused by the d/l folder structure. not what i'm used to seeing.
exploring the soggy bottom
I see your Soggy Bottom (most excellent), and I raise you one End of the Tracks.
Be careful wily coyote not up to shennanigans
Looking great !
Eww, that looks like it didn't install the willow leaves in the right place. You should report that...
(should be in {CA}\Data\Plants\TangoAlpha)
Daz... don't you just love their attention to detail?
I've been trying and trying to get this network rendering to actually work! I can see the other computer, I can select it - but can I see any N buckets - NO!!! I've read the manual, I've experiments with the port settings... I've just given up!
I even say that GRID was on 75% off - but I wasn't tempted as if I can't get just two machines talking using Carrara-Node. And it has to be Carrara for LuxRender can do it without a glitch!
Perhaps Wendy or Misty or @Jonstark or @Chickenman could help?
I've never tried network rendering. Seems like an issue that we should have a thread for. Now that I have both a desktop and a laptop, network rendering is at least theoretically possble for me.
well I have not tried it either
I have enough issues networking my external drives
my Win7 uses homegroups and Win10 doesn't so won't share the C drives
I'm now seeing "N..." I'll do some testing and report back on the fixes and time saving - is it all worth it.
i'd like to add a bicycle path
theyll just tell me they dont support carraRaX
is more stella stuff comin down the pipeline?
There will be an exterior for it at some point, but I'm not actively working on it yet (maybe autumn/winter). And I've got ideas for more interiors, which might come out under the Fleet Ops banner (or might not!)
There's a set coming out next week, that has more of a WWII/Cold War feel. It's an adaptation of a location that's been used in movie sets from Star Wars to Alex Rider, via Fast & Furious, Top Gear, and many others. Not specifically for Carrara, but it should adapt fairly easily. It uses UltraScattered grass, so should work with the Carrara surface replicator (tip: Noise Shaders are your friend!)
After that, several expansion packs for Howie's UltraScenery. I'm just finishing up an Ecology pack for Tangy Apple Orchard. Again not specifically useful to Carrara users, but it does include autumn textures, which you could incorporate into the Carrara set.
Thanks for the update. I did some simple experiments with UltraScenery. Howie has a winner there. Glad you are expanding it. Will keep an eye out for your other sets. I haven't tried to adapt a Daz Studio set that uses significant instancing to Carrara yet. Putting the concept on my list.
The instancing with the upcoming set is just grass, so it's easy to find and remove. For Carrara, there's a base layer of plain grass (crank the replicators to max!), then tufted grasses and flowers overlaid on top - that's where the noise functions come in.
Lots of things instanced all over the place are much more effort to deal with though.
i dont mind tweaking shaders
any goodies coming out for march madness sales?
Hello @TangoAlpha I just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of your work. I've bought a decent number of your scenes now for use in my 3d animations, including the excellent Medieval hall and garden. Plus I have more waiting in my wishlist. We have an overlap in interest and I was wondering if you were planning to do any more contemporary scenes for city centers? I would love to see some of your work for UK Art Deco Tube entrances for example.
This set Modular Transit Terminus is already proving it's worth and some frontages to go with it would be ace. So many wonderful unique examples to be seen on the London Underground.
Anyway I've only just discovered this thread and will be following it with interest from now on.
I've got a wip that's loosely based around a street, in Shoreditch. There will be a tube entrance in that ('fantasy' as there isn't one in real life). It's still very much wip though, with no completion date on it. (it's not a small set!!)
Misty, I have some sets working their way through QA, they're addons for UltraScednery though, so not specifically suited to Carrara. They're not flagged for March Madness, but I expect they'll drop during March, so...
@TangoAlpha, great to hear that UltraScenery compatible stuff is in the pipeline. I think Howie's UltraScatter Pro and UltraScenery help make Studio feel less alien to my Carrara-based mindset.
Are you familiar with the Alienator Pro script by Code 66? It supposedly facilitates substituting one set of props for another in an instanced scene, such as UltraScenery. So in theory I could take grass from Jackson's field, trees from Hemlock Folly, and an apple tree from the Orchard set, and plug them in UltraScenery. Have you tried it? If so, does it require significantly more tweaking than I just described? Key word is significantly. https://www.daz3d.com/alienator-pro
Keep up the great work.
@TangoAlpha - A street in Shoreditch sounds right up my street! Great stuff.
My own Redbridge Tube Station is a good example of the genre, and Chiswick Park Station is a fantastic example of one sharing with the overhead railway lines. You'll have your own favourites of course.
A lot of the closest stations that I can see around there are not of that vintage look, so if you go for it it will be a fantasy as you say, but surely the better look from an artistic point of view. Especially if you are going for that classic brick look amongst the modern buildings.
Anyway I shall monitor in case you take the project further. Cheers.
even if you using uwrap in ds sets, we have the plugin to handle it.
my favorite features is the modelled leaves.
Shoreditch looks like a busy place on Google Earth
