ise in a lonely universe not impressed on the iray.
would be impressed to duplicate a light :lol:
Found a free bluray software that claims to play bluray movies but I am having difficulty playing a bluray movie with it.
...I find it to be an excellent addition to Daz. Yeah, some things don't work with it as they are specifically tailored to 3DL (like I just discovered testing AoA's Grass Shader). However, I do find using physically natural light is simpler than dealing with the shader mixer and scripting to get a more "photo real" quality. I also like the fact it renders faster for me than Reality/Lux or 3DL with UE.
Where it really seems to "shine" more is when using HDRI environments, Sadly there is only a limited number of free HDRI's available and any sun is "fixed" with regards to elevation in the sky. What we need is an' Azure Skies like add on for Iray which had different sun angles for each HDRI sphere.
I have not abandoned 3DL as it does offer more "user control" with regards to lighting, effects, and style. Just trying to learn all I can about Iray as it expands the possibilities for more project assignments by allowing me to offer more high end professional looking illustrations..
As to creating a light, have you used the emissive shader?
it's weird looking at poser after being immersed in ds all these months. feel like a stranger in a strange land
need to start kitbashing a kracken.
where to start?

putting on a fresh pot of coffee. don't think i can manage an all nighter. feeling a lil shaky for no reason.
claims being the keyword :)
Might have something to do with the price.
Also might have something to do with the hardware or its firmware. Make sure you have the latest firmware installed. What brand player is it? Which model?
If all else fails buy some proper BluRay software, you'll need in the long run anyway. And if that fails you're going to have to consider replacing some hardware, either your BluRay player or your computer! :bug:
Now, if you find an iray player that plays bluray movies that would be something!

Careful, you know what happened to the Stranger in "Stranger In A Strange Land", despite all his powers.

Hmmm, I'm of that era and I even know the house in Melbourne Florida where Jim Morrison lived for a while, but I was actually referring to the 1961 SciFi novel by Robert Heinlein.
(*WARNING: SPOILERS GALORE AT THIS LINK*) (but one could read the article and bring it up at a cocktail party and sound well read and sophisticated)

Ooh! :coolsmile: Someone who dares to write.
I've threatened to write many times in my life. I have lots of stories. But for many of them I'm going to have to outlive the sources of my material. Because if I don't, I won't. :coolgrin:

*weak wave* Sick today, a bit run down I think :(
:lol: Indeed. Nice lighting.
Dana
Good. Now rest up some more, drink a lot (no, not booze :) ), and fully recover!
Dana
Do you have a Blur Ray player? I mean the disc machine. Regular DVD players will not play BR, no matter how good the software is.
Dana
mixing up a new batch of soup :)
Oh-oh! You caught it from LG! Maybe you need an update to your anti-virus software! :lol:
Get well quickly!
Dana
...Singapore Sling.
...Singapore Sling.
What's in that?
Dana
...Gin, Pineapple Juice, Lime Juice, Cherry Liqueur, Grenadine, Cointreau, Benedictine, and Bitters.
Was my usual choice when I lived in New Orleans.
Oh. I prefer a nice rum drink. Maybe I'm a pirate.

http://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html Link to a free collection of some mighty high quality HDR/EXR sets. The rest of theirs are just as good, but aren't free.
I used the Chiricahua Plaza one for this :)

I have a blu Ray drive in my computer and I got the player to work on one blu Ray disc.
