    "Here Comes Trouble" This started off as a test of the new Rustic Wagon for Daz Horse 3. 

    Trouble indeed. Very nice!

    Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree

    4 UltraScenery ecologies: 2 x Tango Apple Orchard and 2 x Grassland. I used Ultra Scenery Toolbox - Volume One and Ultra Scenery Toolbox - Volume II to make some changes.

    We need general ecologies, e.g. gardens, farm fields, etc.

    Wow Wow Wow! I can't believe how much is in one scene. As a former Iowa girl, I can say that it is a great farm scene. It must have taken you days to create all that.

    I made an HDR using Britain then rendered it with a fox.

    Because there's less opportunity to hide the terrain textures under vegetation in the desert I've been reworking the shaders to use 4K image maps (as well as the work to improve bumps and tiling).

    Cool. The path looks too smooth and perfect to me. Is there going to be bump relief, cracks or erosion in the final version to break up the perfection? I do like the bank wall, though.

    are the paths in USC actual objects or how do they work. For instance, I loaded Dirt 6 as the feature selection. When you look in the scene list, there is nothing that stated path, dirt path, road, etc.

    They are part of the UltraScene Terrain surface. You can select the terrain in the Scene pane and look at its settings in the Surfaces pane.

    so  is there a way with ultrascatter to place items on that surface?

    Look at the UltraScene Terrain in the Surfaces pane and see what the file name is for the road base or road surface mask.Scatter on the UltraScene Terrain surface. Use that raod mask file as a distribution mask in UltraScatter.

    You did great Daveso. I'll try that when I get the chance.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 6,998

    @ barbult ... or anyone. Not sure where to post this as it utilizes USC, but alos Ultrascatterpro. I think this question is more of an ultrascatter problem though ... why are the colors gone from the orcs? The same with the cubes in my post above The cubes were red in DS. I will say this is the stuff I've been wanting to do with USC for awhile and finally getting the chance to use some of the item I've purchased. I especially like the new dirt roads.

    I've never seen a loss of color like that. In both images, the sky looks strange, too. What are you using for scene lighting?

  • memcneil70memcneil70 Posts: 4,112

    Which version of DS are you using also?

    I had problems with the Betas and almost all of Flip Mode's products and have a report into Daz that is being worked on. They are fine in the 4.21.1.05 (?).

    I came here to find out if anyone has notice a lengthy delay in US building a scene with water after they updated the Beta to 4.21.1.45? I have a character in the scene but it has been stuck for about 20 minutes on the last tiny bit of the bar. Win. 10 and everything is up to date and loaded only by DIM.

    The orc clothes are just the default clay with no texture applied, it appears.

    the sky is Pro HDR for Terradome 3. I use them all the time

    have to retexture everything. For some reason the ultrascatter removed the textures? going to add one orc and see what happens. I started texturing but its time consuming.

    Something is wrong. I've never seen UltraScatter remove textures. Try a simple example of scattering an object on a primitive plane. What happens?

    Why is the sky black in that one image? Maybe you rendered with Draw Dome Off?

    I have Beta 4.21.1.45 and I don't have a problem with running UltraScenery with water features. I don't have a character in the scene, but I selected Country Ford 1 and Grassland 3 and default water. It completed building the scene in less than 16 seconds. It rendered fine. I am using Nvidia driver version 531.41.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 6,998

    I'm runnin 4.21.0.5    there was no sky applied in the image with the cubes. Not sure if i had dome off or not. Its usually on and I didn;t touch it. I'll try a few things tomorrow.

    YAY.... That looks wonderful... Hope there is a set of bicycle tires?  and motorcycle???  Thanks oodlezzzzzzzzzzzzz

    There will be single tire tracks that can easily be scaled for bikes of all sizes, just a case of scaling the decal on the correct axis. Obviously there are a million different types of tyres so ive tried to get a couple of generic ones in various compositions rather than all i could find, plus wet and dry ruts with no tyres for carts and harde wheels and just to add a bit of life to a bland path.
