Whoops!
The dress is Dragonkeeper, not Glacier Queen! D'oh!
I have Glacier Queen, too. I love the long sleeves with Glacier Queen but those don't work in D/S. I had an idea though. I have Eowyn, which has separate sleeves that are similar to Glacier Queen. They aren't quite as long, but I wonder if I can try to take the Glacier Queen sleeve colors and put them on the Eowyn templates (or just retexture them). Now I have to go try out my idea.
Did you get the Brocade shaders for 3DL or Iray?
lol I have Dragonkeeper too. Her stuff is so elaborate and I just picked them up recently so still don't have it all straight.
And... I don't which one I picked up lol. Now I have to go look.... for Iray. She has one for 3Delight? Now I have to go find those too lol. I still use both render engines. And I haven't forgotten the plant list either, but when I looked I realized just how long the list is.... But I will get it done in the next couple of days lol.
That looks really nice, Dracorn! I'll have to think of picking those up as I do more 3Delight renders. I have her brocade set for Iray and I really like it. Your dress in 3DL looks fantastic!
Thanks! I was quite happy with it - it's all in my favorite color range.
And, look what's in the mega fg! I think I'm picking up brocades tonight!
I just picked up scales and laces and satin shaders.
You can't have too many shaders!
Oh, I have those! Those are wonderful shaders! I've used those for a few things not fabric related and they gave fantastic results! They look good on a backdrop, too. You can never go wrong with a DG shader!
I was hoping I could learn how to do my own 3DL metallic sharers by looking at how she did them.
I am embarrased to admit how many shaders I actually have.....
I'm betting I may have more!!! :)
Is that a challenge? Time to put up your dukes!

Total for just DS shaders if you don't count the Uber stuff or the Carrara shaders: 128, if my counting is correct. I'm sure I've missed some, too. As they don't all pop up in a search in the product library. I have some old textures, too, that I didn't count as they aren't technically shaders.
I guess that means it's Sonja's turn! :)
I think that's most of them anyway....

Egads! That's a whole lotta shaders!
Uh oh! I see some in Sonja's list that I have, but I don't have in my list! I'm not sure why they didn't pop up when I was doing a search of my product library. I definitely have a Touch of Dirt and a few others in Sonja's list, though. I feel like such shader slut now! I have SO many! :)
My list is 98 but I didnt' count Uber environment shaders or the shaders that are iray emmissive. That's probably another 10 or 15. But I think Knittingmommy wins this round lol. I also didn't count Carrera shaders because A. I don't know where they are, and B, I've only opened Carrera twice and have no clue what to do with it lol.
You know, I would have been perfectly happy not to win this little contest! ;)
So, how many shaders does @TabascoJack have? Curious minds want to know! :)
Wow. I thought I had a lot of shaders, but I must bow and acknowledge my defeat. Obviously when you factor in Iray, you will have a lot more. Mine are 3DL only.
That's right, @TabascoJack, how many shaders to YOU have? You are hereby challenged!
Yeah, I collected quite a few 3DL shaders when I first started, but I had a hard time figuring 3DL out. Most of the shaders I got during the big sales that first year I joined at really good rock bottom prices. When Iray came out and I figured out that I just clicked with it more than 3DL, I started collecting a lot of those Iray shaders and haven't really used much of the 3DL ones. I'm starting to get better at 3DL so I'll start to use more of them, but I think I'll always feel more comfortable with Iray. There are a few of the 3DL shaders, though, that work well in Iray so I've used a few more of them here lately. Theoretically, I probably don't need to buy an other shaders, ever, but, you know, that probably isn't going to happen. I have little restraint when it comes to playing with pretty shaders. I've been a crafter, knitter, quilter for a long time and playing with fabric and colors and textures is something I've always enjoyed doing. I don't see stopping anytime soon just because the medium might have changed. :) So, yeah, I'll probably buy even more if something catches my eye in the future.
So...here's my (very short) shader list:
And from ShareCG, AllenArts Jewelry shaders
from DeviantArt, Tom2099's car paint shaders
That's about it. For fabrics these days, I either take MEC4D's white cotton (or other fabric) and simply drop in existing diffuse color maps, or use procedural.fabrics. I might use parrotdolphin's Iray Shader Kit instead. Plastics, rubber, etc get MEC4D's shaders which I may then tweak base color on.
I'm desperately waiting for MEC4D's wood shaders.
Those MEC4D shader sets are huge.
I have to say I have been drooling over some beautiful Iray shaders, but haven't bought them because I work in 3Delight. The few experiments I made with Iray were failures, so I haven't been prompted to pursue it. The thing that bugs me the most about Iray is the graininess - I see it even in promo renders. That and the fact that hair rendered in Iray just doesn't look as good as in 3DL, despite the PA's efforts to move from large locks to strands. I just don't like the way it looks. I buy the hair and find I like it much better in 3DL.
Lastly, I suppose I'm not overly interested in photorealism, because I can't achieved it 100% - the people look great but their hair and clothing doesn't. I also don't like abandoning something just because it's older - you proved that yourself with that fantastic retexturing of the Dream House. Nice job, TJ.
You know, I was all set to buy Genesis 3 UVs for Genesis 2 Females, and it's companion for G3M to G2M when it comes out later. Backwards compatibility is always a great thing to have and it increases the longevity of G2.
Before I ordered it, I searched G3F and G3M to see which characters I would like to convert... and came up with almost nothing that I wanted. It's not that I feel there isn't quality stuff out there, it's that I already have comparable characters in V4, G1 and G2M/G2F. I can convert these to G2, so I only really need some to add to my inventory. Mind you, I'm only looking at skins here, not morphs, as I spin dials and create my own characters anyway.
There less than 3 characters each that I would want to convert from G3 to G2, both male and female - so there really isn't any reason for me to buy the utility. I really don't care for the look of G3 anyway, so I had decided not to purchase any characters.
I'll wait for G4 to come out, then it will be about another year or so for the UV conversion utilities, so it will be a while. G2 and G1 satisfy all the needs I have at the moment.
What about new clothes, say you? I suppose if I learn to make my own, that won't be an issue. Most items out there don't match my style and it's hard to tweak it so it does. We'll see. Understand that I keep my technology until it is very old (my first cell phone was 7 years old when I got a new one). My last computer was the same age before I upgraded.
I tend to keep stuff til it dies myself. My husband has a 10 year old or more cell phone. I bought the G2M to G3M conversion because I can't stand the G3M males. The only ones I like are from Darwins Mishap and GypsyAngel. But I really like the G2M guys. So being able to move them toG3M is good it might make them look more manly...
I love the new sets. Imagine my surprise when I discovered no Stonemason in the mega fg for me. Looks like I already owned all of the ones they have offered. Unfortunately, I'll have to hold off on the new ones, too. Kind of saving up for a few up and comers that I really want to put my hands on soon. Having a second kid in braces now, really put a cramp in my discretionary spending! I can definitely empathize.
I picked up the Streets of Asia but had to pass on the rest....I really really need to cut back now that the Scriptorium is finally out. That was the main one I was waiting for this month.
