    Having some issues with Ultrascenery and no idea why now, about the only thing I can think of is I recently got a RTX 3060 installed.. Either way as the image shows, when I render I get this happening where the bridges and walkways look like they just been burnt, and a long the shoreline looks like a fire went through recently..

    Good news as you can see in the second image I was able to fix the issue I was having in the first image.. I found that using the Daz iRay Uber shader fixed the issue I was having.. The weird thing is that the problem seems to only exist on those scene elements you see in the images..

    What version of Daz Studio are you using. there have been many reports of custom shader problems in the recent beta versions of Daz Studio.

    Ahh k thank you for the info, laugh I am using the current 4.15.0.30 release build of Studio, what is weird is that I never had the issue before and that it is only these scene elements that are affected..

    Though interesting  I just downloaded the current 4.15.1.96 public beta and the issue vanishes.. So must be something about Studio 4.15.0.30 and my RTX 3060 and certain shader/textures that is at play here, as I did not have this issue with my 1070ti..

    I used Alienator Pro to substitute some of the PC+ freebie Treehouses for large Oak trees.

    I was trying a few running poses for the female character. It seemed nicer to get her running through an autumnal forest, then the male characters added themselves. Now.. the image is 'Re-enforcements are coming as fast as they can. Pray they get there in time.' Harpwood Forest 2.

    I have managed to fix the issue I was having with Ultrascenery rendering weirdly.. After reading a post by kimbleag_591930dfc0 https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7249041/#Comment_7249041 it was down to a later version of Nvidia's MDL Material Exchange software that was causing the issues.. laugh

    Our community at Digital Art Live has been fascinated with the work that's been going on with the artwork built with UltraScenery. I'd like to bring together the artists across the world that are regularly building art with this script in a live webinar event to show their work and have a round table discussion on the capabilities of it.

    Reply to me if you'd like to be involved!

    What a cool idea!!  I have this and never would have thought to use it like this.  You are SO creative, Barbult.  Thanks for sharing...

    TIP The camera headlamp can help make the UltraScenery terrain more visible in the Texture Shaded viewport preview. I listed my preferred headlamp settings here. Remember to turn the headlamp off before rendering. Also, in Render Settings, General section, I always set Auto Headlamp set to Never. I don't want this birght headlamp in my render.

    Trying out the beta of Daz Studio and the new ground fog feature, and it does look good.. Also have found that with the new Studio beta build, my render initialization time has gone from just over a minute, to 31 seconds which is a huge improvement in speed, and this is with the optimization setting set at memory.. smiley

    How do you access the ground fog?

    It is in the Render Settings Environment section, or the Parameters pane of the Environment Options node (in the DS Beta 4.16.1.47).

    Easier to show an image of where it is in the latest available beta build.. smiley

    Lol Barbult beat me to it.. laugh

    But it will take some getting used to as so far there is no visual representation of the fog plane in the viewport, unless you have the viewport set to iRay mode..

    That does look really good :) Give it long enough and DS might just turn into a full fledged landscape creator. LOL

    I used Alienator Pro to put the new Daz+ Spring Flowers freebie into an UltraScenery scene in place of the daisies. The ecology is one I mixed together with Code66 Scene Tools II Ecology Engineer.

    99% of the time, when I want sun with nice clouds, I use the Sunflowers HDRI from Poly Haven.

    UltraScene Creator crash

    I have used UltraScenery successfully many times and own a number of add-ons for it.

    Recently, when I run it (on a new machine), the progress bar starts but then freezes (screenshot attached). It stays frozen at that position no matter how long I allow it to run. I have run a number of different scenarios. This screenshot was taken after I ran UltraScene Creator on the default setup that it boots to, using only the default assets on the first Grasslands setting.

    I have tried it with the C66 Graphics plug-in enabled and disabled. I have tried it with the Accelerator for UltraScenery Studio Content plug-in enabled and disabled. I have tried it with all add-ons installed and uninstalled. Every time I get the same result.

    I hope there's a fix! I rely on UltraScenery. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    My PC stats are as follows:

    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900KF CPU @ 3.70GHz   3.70 GHz
    Installed RAM 128 GB (128 GB usable)
    System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    Edition Windows 10 Enterprise Version 20H2
    OS build 19042.1526
    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 driver version 30.0.15.1179
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900KF CPU @ 3.70GHz, 3696 Mhz, 10 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s)

    UltraScenery products do not work properly when installed with Daz Connect (installed from inside Daz Studio). How did you install? DIM is the best install option.
