    I bought the Iray Interior Speed Lights. The only documentation in the product is a single TIP file. It refers to a "culling slider added to the camera". I can't find any such slider. Does anyone know where it is?

    are you able to load the culling camera?  It is basically a camera with section panes attached.

    Yes, the camera loads with section planes attached. It seems to work well. But I can't find any "culling slider" that the tip says can be used to adjust how much of the scene is culled. I made a screenshot of the tip message, but of course it won't upload.

    I have purchased it but haven't installed it yet... but the readme describes 

    • /data/KindredArts/KAHDRMSHDAT/ISpeed Lights Culling Camera/Camera.dsf

    • /data/KindredArts/KAHDRMSHDAT/ISpeed Lights Culling Camera/Morphs/KindredArts/Base/Culling.dsf

    so it is a morph... try selecting the camera, expand it in the library so you can see the section planes, and with them all selected and the camera, search for "culling" in the shaping pane and library pane. I suspect it is a morph for the shaping panes.

    What about Caesars wristwatch?

    bet it is hard to tell the time "inside" the pantheon, LOL

    Especially as, if caesar means Julius, the Pantheon wasn't built until Hadrian's reign.

    yes!

    Thanks for your help! Those dsf files are in my content library's data folder, just as you described, but I cannot for the life of me find the morph in the Daz Studio interface.I've turned on Show Hidden Properties. I've looked in the Parameters pane and the Shaping pane. When you get time to try the new product, if you find the slider (morph), please tell me how to find it. I've submitted a help request, too.
    One thing I see is that the camera's DUF name in the Content Library is "ISpeed Lights Culling Camera" but in my Scene pane, the loaded camera is "ISpeed Lights Light Camera". I don't know if those label differences matter or not. The camera's Scene ID is "/data/KindredArts/KAHDRMSHDAT/ISpeed%20Lights%20Culling%20Camera/Camera.dsf#Camera".

    yes!

    The Pantheon has an oculus that acts as a sundial, so the wrist "watch" would be redundant in that situation anyway, I suppose.

    VYK Glacea for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D   I like this a lot. Can you say pale. Both DAZ+ releases today looking pretty good.

    Lahr - great name, btw - looks great, but not something I 'd get use out of. The Black Jack outfit is better than many offerings for men's clothing, but the shirt and tie don't cut it for me.

    These https://www.daz3d.com/lahr-the-lion-tattoo-add-on and https://www.daz3d.com/niketa-the-lioness-makeup-collection claims they require the Lahr and Niketa 9 characters respectively. Can anyone confirm if that is true or not?

     

    clarification: do you have to have Lahr and/or Niketa installed for them to work?

    There are samples with other characters... so I'm assuming they work on all G9 characters.

    Yes, I know they do according to the description . But do you have to have Lahr and/or Niketa installed for them to work? That is my question :)

    After a lengthy research into 'pantheon' versus 'parthenon' I came back to this page to your post and immediately yelled in my head 'Ewok Village'! So, take all those Medieval C/Karts with non-European native veggies and use them here. And some of the funny beasties that have come out and yeah, an Ewok would be nice.

    ah... kk... I wondered... I bought both characters so I can't answer... sorry.  I would guess that you don't need Niketa or Lahr... but you may get an error message asking for them that you can skip past.

    I was lucky I had 40percent off worth of Daz Tokens... so got the bundle for $36.22.  Used my 20percent off gift certificate... couldn't pass it up... but my 200.00 gift certificate that I bought is fast going down between Niketa and Lahr Bundles... lol

    Could not resist Lahr bundle price...

  • memcneil70memcneil70 Posts: 4,112

    Well I did it. I bought both the Lahr and Niketa Pro Bundles, along with Ultimate Make-up Extreme Layers for G9 with that coupon and 8 tokens. Total $84.83.

    What sold me on the lion bundles were three items, besides the FRESH-FINDS coupon: The two expression packs by JWolf https://www.daz3d.com/jw-expressions-for-niketa-the-lioness and https://www.daz3d.com/jw-the-lion-expressions-for-lahr-the-lion and I saw something there that harkened to my two orange cats. And then there was Laticis Imagery's https://www.daz3d.com/panthera-mane-whiskers-and-eyebrows-for-genesis-9 and the renders not only on the lions, but on people as well. All three tickled my heart.

    These made me take a closer look at the bundles and I saw the possibilities for Afro Futurism and alien cat cultures. And I can always plead my cats doing 'zoomies' for two hours late last night in my bedroom, using me as a landing/launching pad at times. My second order had the environments and a few outfit texture sets. And just after I paid, DAZ sent me a coupon for my next order... gagh.

    Now, if the PA can come up with hair that has been shed onto clothes and furniture/rugs?

    Xi Forest Den and its expansion looks amazing and it is huge.

    Below is with Lahr standing on the cart for the comparison.

    Would love to have some more info on these clouds. Are they volumetric? Polygonal? Billboards? Are they heavy on the system?

    That is Stonemason's product that was released in 2016 

  • StonemasonStonemason Posts: 1,180

    I had no idea these would be re-promoted like this, I sold them off to Daz a few weeks ago while culling older products from my store.

    They are billboards,

    Thanks, good to know!

    I like billboard products but I think it should be mentined in the product description.

    I don't have much use for it, but the Barbarian Armor looks really nicely made. https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-classic-barbarian-armor-hd-for-genesis-9
