Mind-Blowing Mesh Light Tip For Iray! by SickleYield, journal

Mind-Blowing Mesh Light Tip For Iray!

Aug 16, 2015

THIS DOESN'T WORK IN 2022. THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN ALTERED SO THAT EMISSIVES CAN'T BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT WITHOUT OTHER STEPS. Dimension Theory is an expert on all things light and HDRI-related, and I use his products regularly. The other day he said something extremely useful on the forum: You can actually use mesh lights without them being visible in your scene. Set the cutout opacity to .001, then set the mesh light settings as normal. They will not appear in the scene or in reflections. This is life-changing info for me, because I use mesh lights a lot; they really look the best on human skin in most circumstances so I consider them

Tutorial: more natural fit with Dforce

Jan 27, 2020

We've all been there (well, if you're all doing fetish 3D comics with giant boobies), for some reason the figures aren't designed to accomodate some body shapes: Daz Studio now has a physics engine to simulate clothes, which offers an unexpected solution to this. First, select the prop you need to fit, and turn it into a dynamic surface: Optional to only simulate a part of the surface, Create/ New Dforce Modifier Weight Node and in Tool settings/ Node Weight Map Brush add the Influence Weights map and remove the area that shouldn't be simulated (paint with alt key held): Note that all the surfaces of this prop are converted. If you don't

Daz|Studio, Big Breasts, and Clothing

Jan 5, 2017

G3F is a great figure. She poses well, is nicely detailed, and takes well to multiple morphs. She's not perfect, but she's a lot better than previous models of Genesis and worlds better than V4. Combined with the functionality of Daz|Studio's Auto Follow, getting clothes onto her, even ones designed for older figures, is easy as pie... ...unless she's busty. The bad news here is that Auto Follow takes things literally, and doesn't accurately simulate cloth flow over her breasts. The end result is a wholly inaccurate-looking "shrinkwrap" effect. The good news is that this problem is easily fixable, and you can fix it for free, using only nat

A special case of lighting through a window. by Andrey-A-M, journal

A special case of lighting through a window.

May 7, 2017

As a rule, I test something in every job. This work was not an exception. In it, I tested an amusing way of lighting through window. So... The room has only two walls, a floor and a ceiling. Illumination - HDRI (I drew HDRI using HDR Light Studio.). Radius of the dome - 6 meters (this corresponds to the "real" size of the simulated room). On the dome, I drew rectangles simulating reflections from two missing walls and one large rectangle with a width equal to the wall, and with a height from horizon to zenith. The brightness of a large rectangle is 100 times greater than the brightness of a small rectangles. In addition, the bright

Tutorial: Lighting and Rendering Night Scenes

Jun 17, 2018

Here is the YouTube version of this tutorial, and here is the accompanying tutorial on using Canvases. Working with the Iray render engine, and seeing what people do with it on deviantart, over time I've seen the same mistakes repeated many times. One of the most common that I see has to do with rendering night scenes or other scenes that are meant to be dark. The thing is that the human eye is bad at seeing in the dark. If you render literally what someone would be seeing, your scene will look terrible, but this is exactly what I see many people doing. Hollywood movies often use two specific techniques to create night scenes: lit foregr

[Tutorial] Fix Render Errors With Spot Render Tool

Jun 17, 2016

As something that I only figured out a little while back, I figured I should share this with you. It's been *priceless* in saving me hours because I did something stupid like have a hand through a leg, eyes pointing the wrong way, or any other little thing that I noticed after an overnight render completes. So, here's hoping it's as useful to you as it is to me! What this tip is good for: A good way to deal with a small pose, material, or object issue. What this tip is is not: A good way to deal with a lighting change, or anything across an entire image. In general be careful when you're doing this. If you're changing a reflective or em
