    Justin and Josie in the moonlight. I'll add the indoor lights and furniture later.

    Memory usage: 1.7 GB. It'll be interesting to see how much memory the furniture will use.

    lol. Those are supposed to be blue rocks.

    Here is Julie in a bar tavern maid outfit in Yosemite HDRI. I'll work on this scene some more.

    Memory usage: ~1.5 GB the last time I checked. I forgot the exact number.

    The Yosemite HDRI scenes render slowly on the single-core computer. I'll go work on some other scenes now.

    I like the glow on her shoulders in the moonscape, and the soft light on her hair :)

    Thanks for the comment.

    Here is Danika, Daisy May and Ivory.

    edit: Moonscape uses uber environment light in Studio 4, I think. I changed the light mode to ambient (no ray tracing) to save time.

    I should look for more tutorials for uber environment.

    I found Learning UberEnvironment 2 Return To Topic

    Dawn and Justin in occlusion and soft shadows. Indirect lighting takes too long on a dual-core Pentium.

    i was too tired to upload this render last night.

    Dawn and Josie with Emmawynn's body but Josie texture. Uber environment quality is set to medium, I think.

    Shader bug is occurring more frequently. This bug seems to appear randomly whenever I render Genesis 2 females.

    3Delight message #45 (Severity 2): S2069: the interface of shader

    Did you apply the SSS shader fixes before you rendered? That is sort of why the tips to fix the error before it happens were posted. Like the Group ID changes they suggest on some textures?

  • starionwolfstarionwolf Posts: 3,670

    I never heard of group ID until I saw Misty Whisky's thread now. Thanks for the tip. I haven't heard of the other fixes.

    Some place in commons is a big thread on the SSS Shader from when it first came out. The last page or two has most of the fixes posted. They often stop the White out or Black out , that happens too, before it happens. Not always though. It is some error with the brickyard and will happen randomly but much less if the fixes are used.

    I could not find the big thread with the SSS fixes.

    I did find find some other threads with solutions to other problems that I had with SSS:

    Random skin rendering problems with Victoria 6, teen Josie 6

    Sub Surface Scattering settings in ds4 by RawArt

    Julie in the Tubo hotel:

    Dwarf Lana and Teen Olympia. I made Dwarf Lana before I found Raw Dwarfology.

    Daz Studio almost ran out of memory when I rendered the second scene. I'll redo the space scenes that have Genesis 2 using the Windows 7 computer.

    One more render of cat girl in Onyx before I look work on some old scenes that I never finished.

    edit: I should render her in Luxrender just to see what her texture will look like.

    Cat lady's hands and feet look different compared to the rest of her body. The bump map settings are the same, I think. I'll check the surfaces again tomorrow.

    I also need to check cat girl's hair and Olympia's lips.

    create chubby Genesis female using dials
    look at the new outfits I bought
    fix dream home scenes with Laura and V4
    Render closeups of feet and legs to see the details.
    Finish the scenes with the cars and jeeps
    Space scenes with older characters
    plus sized models
    character and skin comparison will take a while
    look for skimpy outfits in my runtime library
    render Poser figures

    Katie elite in Octane.

    Remember my first renders of Octane that showed people's feet? I didn't know how to move the camera then.
