Billy-T Custom bikes

druc

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to render Billy-T's custom bikes in Daz Studio? I have owned this product (type 1, 2 and 3)  for many years but only rendered in Poser. When I load the Poser versions they render perfectly in Poser. When I load the Daz version in Daz studio only the mud guards and petrol (gas) tank render in colour.

Billy-T, if your are reading I would love a trike addition.

Part of the problem is that the DS materials are 3Delight and they have reflection maps applied, which don't really work. However, the results are still very flat in 3Deligth as loaded and in Iray applying soem of the supplied metal shaders isn't helping; the model seems to eb UV mapped. I'm not sure why it isn't working.

Here's a 3DL render..did not notice any issues, except for the textures being a bit low rez. Richard, not sure what you mean by "metal shaders not helping"?

I tried applying (in Iray) some of the metals shaders that come with DS and they din't have the effect I expected, though trying again with a better HDR theya re now looking closer.

Thank you both very much for your replies. This is the best I can do with a 3DL render and default textures.

Didn't work. How do you imbed a picture rather than attach?

Keep the attached image attached. Click on it so it opens on its own page. Copy the url. Then go to the little image box insert on these typing boxes and paste it. Then click where the image should be appearing in the image box. The size shows up on the left side. Make sure it reads 800 max so it gets resized down if required so as to not break the forum coding.

Open the attachment and copy the link, then edit the post and use that link in the embed picture dialogue. Don't delete the attachment as it is still needed as source for the in-line image

Thank you very much. In the picture I posted the black should be chrome (with the exception of the frame) The blow is a Poser 11 Pro Firefly render of the default "!Custom 1 Blue" Poser version.

This one is the DS version rendered in Daz 3DL
