Got a few more props to add to my Twilight Zone render and it should then be looking good !
Hopefully the tutes/walkthroughs will be useful as well as a source of further exploration !!!! ( More to come )
Excellent - looking forward to seeing the finished figure !
Added Stonemason's City Ruins Building 02 & City Ruins : Vehicles to my scene. The ruined car needed some ruin filler adjacent to it to match the scene so I used some rubble from Sparkyworld's City Ruins. The shader for Sparky's rubble did not match Stonemason's so I added a colour mixer to the shader to darken it up to where it matched.
1. In the Color Slot, browsed down to Operators then clicked on Mixer
2. In Sorce 2 slot, browsed down to color. Clicked on the Color box to open the Colour Picker, picked a dark grey/black colour
3. In the Blender slot, browsed down to Value (0-100%), dialed in until I got about 55% (Took a few test renders till I got the right value)
wow that makes a huge difference - tutorial tutorial :)
Bunyip02_Carrara - amazing tutorial sthank you!
And a big thanks to Stonemason!
another selfie :) Love astro boy great stuff stezza
A tutorial would be nice but Dart's setup at the moment might make it a bit difficult.
I have a tute on Squares and Rivets coming up.
here's one form me
In photoshop I moved the eyebrows up on Uncle Albert texture. Hair by Carrara https://www.daz3d.com/m4-uncle-albert
for the pshycho coat
psychedelic is under Pattern Functions
use red and green as the two sources - red is source 1, green is source two
find the pshyco parameters by clicking on psycehedlic button
to get groovy black shirt we just invert the original texture - so goes from white to blcak
for the hippy pants we take a normal set of blue denim jeans (I gave them flares)
and add a "spoke' cblender in the mixer channel - we find the spoke blender under free Shoestring Shaders menu
finally picture of Groover in situ

great use of snow shader!!
start of a pulp fiction cover 'The Lady Killer wore Beige"
oh the shaders - well I added reflection to the car and made the plane a shadow catcher - need to read the rules again! sorry
Superb, just a screendump showing your Shadow Catcher and a little blurb would be enough for Da Rules. Aim is to get people thinking about shader usage - simple or complex.
The start of my next scene - WIP 1
A bit more progress
And a critter - "Zubarra attack !"
Next up change the tunic shader, then the shader WIPs
Marine Boy
used Lo-Renzo for Marine Boy and modeled the extras ( ear covers, watch and Boomerang holder ) adjusted the shaders on Marine Boy and the dolphin.
modeled the wacky robot and also the Marine sub.
Postwork in PSE2019
thanks Bunyip , now that's psychodellico!

I'll post the shader recipie for this one later - sorry

31. Import new terrain obj into Carrara
32. Open material_1 shader and load the required texture map
33. Load the required Bump texture map
34. Do a test render. Note that the textures in this case are out compared to the Bryce render, I don't know why the conversion does this. Save as a car file if happy with the result.
The following are a couple of conversions that worked.
Mini-Tutorials recommence tomorrow night !
