Shantara City Question

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Shantara looks pretty amazing.  However, it never shows closeups and there are no Gen3 or Gen 8 figures in any of the pics.  Why is that?  Is it not to scale?  Does it not look good up close?

 

Can it be rendered in Iray even though its not built for Iray?

 

Thanks in advance.

    There are no Gen3 or Gen 8 in the pics because it was released way before Genesis 3 ;)

    There are a few pics in the galleries with closeups and figures, that might help you get a better idea.

    Here are a couple of renders using it. I probably just ran the Iray Uber Shader on it and then targeted individual areas as needed.

    That sounds REALLY cool... what does it mean?  Sorry.  Still learning.  Iray Uber Shader?  Targeting areas?  I just choose Iray and hit render.  Teach me obiwan?! <3
    Just to be clear.  You're saying closeups work just fine. Yes?

    The Iray Uber Shader comes with the free shaders in Studio under Categories/Iray/Shaders/Iray/!Iray Uber Base, at least that is where mine is. Also if you right click on it and go to the bottom of the pop-up window and click on Create Custom Action it will add it to a Script menu at the top of Studio where you can access it just by clicking on it, saves going looking for it.  When doing the close-up use the Surface tool and click on the surfaces that you can see within the camera view and select each one. I would then try changing the Bump settings to get more definition, rather than it looking flat, and or the displacement. If there is a light use the Emission setting to turn it on and then set the Lumen to get light. I used it on the windows in the towers to make them appear lived in :)
