    Sarge looks good, very formidable! Love the glow on the saber too.

    Thanks Saphirewild. I had something else to render fo you all, the new Ubran Assault Rifle, but it makes my renders crash. Not sure if it is my scene it can't stand or just me, but when I remove the hardware it renders. So will have to find some new heavy weapons to complete this scene.

    Well, found out the Urban Assault Rifle just won't render in Studio 4.8, as it causes a crash. However the rifle works in Studio 4.9 so I guess I'll have to wait to use that. I replaced it in this image, with the standard Assault Rifle.

    Here's an interesting idea. Colonial Guard for Attica looks pretty good. Not sure about open navel, but the rest looks

    LOL- postwork, a green belly button..make it an outie and you're all set!

    So far as a product not working in 4.8, if it doesn't then it needs a bug report. Is this a known issue? If so, why aren't they doing something about it?

    I am not switching to 4.9 for a quite awhile.

    Just as a diagnostic comment. I have successfully rendered the Urban Assault weapon in DS 4.8 3DL; but, it was a side-on render. I wonder if it isn't the glass material in the sight that's causing you issues?

I wonder if it isn't the glass material in the sight that's causing you issues? I've had issues before with bottles and jars that have two glass panes, both reflective and facing each other (the infinite reflective loop). A simple test: close the lense caps and try again (as I recall, I had the lense covers down), before you alter the glass material.

    @Etrigan:

    I will test that. Interesting. I don't intend to upgrade to 4.9 for sometime, and I was able to render the urban assault rifle before, but maybe I  did have the lens cap  in place. It tended to hang about halfway down rendering the weapon so maybe that is indeed it..

    This is what the help request told me:

    "The Urban Assault Rifle crashing on render is due to a know issue when rendering iray materials using Windows 8 and 10..
    However, this issue has been resolved in the next release of Daz Studio (4.9). The Public Beta is available now if you would like to give it a try.:

     

    @Novica:

    LOL on the belly button. That makes me laugh... Just because... Seriously.. A belly button window in body armor? Why?

    "a known issue..." to which I'd like to reply, "If it's known to you, make it known to US! Just because USER is a 4 letter word, you needn't ignore or shun us." I'd  be interested in the results of your test.

    The belly button issue... oops, Now, THAT's Super Conforming!. The PA didn't click "ignore the belly button morphs... or belly button off." Try turning it off on the Sarge and see what happens cool

    I think the belly button window is part of the design of the outfit.  Perhaps it serves some purpose, such as to recharge the the cybernetic parts? No idea, but you can see the set here clearly has it:  http://www.daz3d.com/colonial-guard-for-attica

    I'll test the assault rifle tonight. I think I have a backup of the old version.

    Yeah. From the looks of the promos, that bellybutton is sculpted in. My guess is thge PA thought it might aid in abdominal flexibility. 

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    @Tramp Graphics: I like that explanation. That seems plausible.

    @Etrigan: I did try with lens cap closed but it still crashed, unfortunately for me!

    Okay here is a quick alien render.  I wanted to try rendering the new HFS Wraith Suit, but found the textures somewhat flatter than what I wanted. I doctored those and that of the tactical shotgun to add some shine.

    Mars 360 is a very awesome easy to use HDR environmental set to use with IRAY. Here is Karen 7 frolicking on the red planet's surface.

    Took me a fair bit to catch up on all of this.  I love sci fi, and your renders just get better all the time. :)

    Awesome, yours looks better (as usual!) 

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    Thanks Teofa, and Novica. I'll have some more time to do renders this week. It has been rather hectic at work lately. Look forward to more soon. =-)

    Okay, here is Sarge Vs. Undead Fiend. I just love undead fiend. He is an entirely well-done DAZ Studio creation.

    Here is a render of HFS Wraith suit combined with the modern ninja weaponry. I Also used the Gen 3 Male for Gen 2 Male bodyshape. The gloves deformed a bit when conformed to HFS suit.

    I like to recolor old robots. For some reason, I really like this one from Rendo. Perhaps because it is dog-like. I made him more imposing by adding red point lights near the eyes and a big one inside his rib cage.

    Really love the way the sand is reflected in the suit.  Very cool.

    That's a very cool dog model.  Makes an excellent companion for a scifi hero.  Is it still available?

    I went have a look, and found it.

    Yes. ITs called Psi Dog. There is an expansion with a cannon. I haven't rendered the cannon rig, but I really like the dog! Glad you found it!  It has lots of mat zones, so he is easy to recolor.

    I mean seriously, this looks like a poster done by a large movie studio. Universal, Paramont, etc couldn't find anyone to do art any better than this. I love the crispness of the detail of the rebar, every little detail is right there. AWESOME.
