Maclean's Everyday Drinks are done nicely for Iray I have the set , glass need to be set to volumetric to work correctly not just the ior as it was with 3Delight , but not big deal with that, but Maclean did good job with the glass
I used the champagne bottle and different flutes in another render (in my gallery) and I was really impressed with the way they turned out. And all I had to do was place them where I wanted in the scene. No fiddling required. I like that.
But what I really want to know is...
Cath, will we see a new product from you in the PA Festival?
No festival products from me, working on better picture ... surprise surprise
soon you will get enough of my products I promise lol
when I am quiet it means only one thing.. I am cooking for my upcoming big party
Based on the wink, I assume that upcoming party is in here...
Then I won't worry about running out of money. lol
Any hints about what those products will be? (I recall you were doing great things with eyes a few months back. And skin shaders. You mentioned elsewhere about waiting on M7 to do male skin shaders... Any female shaders in the works?)
Inquiring minds want to know!
Female shaders would be extremely nice. I've got a sort of toon shader working now, but getting any sort of realistic skin shader working is, for me, an exercise in frustration.
There is not magic skin shader that will works the same way with all textures in Iray as the set need a lot of custom maps correspond with the skin , I am not going to spoil my upcoming surprise products so sorry you will have to wait for the releases . :) one thing I can tell you, it is going to be better than anything before :) a lot of work , many different products genres and themes , working on the products for last 2 months so I guess you can hold little longer
Which is why I'm waiting for your skin shader product(s). I want my figures to look like yours did back when 4.8 was still in beta!
Okay...
Probably not a bad thing. I'll have time to make some more money so, hopefully, I can afford your stuff!
I've glass in iray goes better than 3delgith..but I'm focusing on 3delight for now :/

Cath, I hope that 80's Men's suit is still in the works..I still have the files I gathered to make the bonus textures I wanted to do sitting here :)
Maybe you can help me with Rumiko's 3DL shaders, then :P
Nice render L'adair!
Just one small point. With the cork in the champagne bottle, you could have used the 'Seal Off' preset to change it to an opened bottle. With the seal on, it's unopened.
But I love how you used the bubbles prop inside the bottle.
mac
Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
I intended for the bottle to be sealed. The bottle actually loaded with the seal off, I had to go looking to put it back on. lol... The bubbles are two separate props, the one for the tall glass is topped by the one in a cone shape. I had to fiddle with the scale to get them to look consistent, so the bubbles on top are a bit larger and more dense then those around the nymph. I also used a slight amount of emmissives so the bubbles showed up. I had to change the color of the bottle and remove the top coat, too. Both worked to make wonderful reflections, but it was almost impossible to see the nymph.
I got the idea from something you said in the other thread, about my other render using a champagne bottle. Thanks for the inspiration.

Yeah Anita, it is hard to see anything inside champagne bottle in real live , that why they make it green so no light affect the content inside lol but you managed it great as well
It was not really typical 80's just more classic suit, and when everything is ready you get a copy as promised
Cath, I can not wait to see what you have planned ( though I will do my best to wait patently) I am already putting my extra money back.
Thanks for the support @JennyK
You are more than welcome. I love your work.
What she said ^^^
Someone doesn't mind getting his mullet wet by taking one more summer dip before the party is over.
Also posted full sized in my DAZ Iray Gallery , waiting for a look and a like or 2...or 3 hahaha
@Jennk & @L'Adair thanks :)
@AlexLO good job, or maybe he just smell the last summer roses hehe love it
Used the mullet hair in a render for the PC+ contests. Here's a closeup:
Here's a link to the full render: http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/images/87088/
I made the hair as short as possible, put the bangs up, and added shine trying to get that glossy, oiled in place look of another era. I got shine, anyway. lol
As an aside, the mustache is from Unshaven for Genesis. Even though the figure is G2M, Sebastian, his face is narrow and I couldn't completely hide the stubble with Unshaven 2. At least, it still showed in the preview window. I didn't try rendering it.
The mullet is such a versatile piece. I hope you are planning on making it a buy-able product, Cath. With so few good hair content for males, (by good, I mean looks good/realistic in Iray,) I'm sure it would sell very well.
L'Adair great image! The pose of the character is just perfect.
Thank you.
I really can't take credit for the pose, though. It's "Baffled" from Everyday Male Poses for Michael 6. And the included morph for the Grantham jacket fit the hand perfectly. I think it is the first time I've used a pose without having to modify it extensively to fit the scene or the clothes. I did tweak the expression, dialing in a bit of "confused" and turning the corners of his mouth down. And I think I tweaked his left leg a tiny bit to allow his foot to be on top of the threshold, (although you wouldn't see that in this cropped image.)
I like starting with a pose and making changes so no one else has the exact same pose. But it's kind of nice, once in a while, to have a pose be exactly what I need, right "out of the box."
Is this outfit still available for free? If so, I would love to try it out. Thank you. Jo Ann Elliott (JBJDesigns). Email: jewels.by.jade@gmail.com
Hmmm I clicked the "star" but haven't gotten notices for weeks on this thread
80s Gym Set G2F : reupload..... pleese
It's actually been pretty quiet here.
She must be really busy working on somethign for the store...or another freebie.
Dana
I thought Cath was going to do an on line class. I'm still waiting to hear about that!
I would be interested in that as well for Zbrush, she is incredible with that program
My first Render with your freebies. Being a product of the 80's in NJ, I love these hair! Very in-style for anime
