Invasion UFO no scene?

Hi all,  has anyone else purchased this model and if so, are either of the scene files working for you?  Neither work for me but before I report it, just wanted to check in the forums.

    I don't have this one but in-case no-one else that reads the forums has it yet you can always try re-installing the product just incase something went a little bit wrong the first time. Also, check the log to see if that is throwing any hints as to what may be going wrong.

    I also don't have the item, but from the promo and the file list I don't expect a SCENE to come with the product, but two subsets (with no cameras/lighting/rendersettings/whatever) with the complete UFO in the first and the street, fence and mailbox in the second.

    @Cerrag I have the Invasion UFO product and just loaded it into Daz Studio 4.12 Pro.

    The product has 10 items that appear in DS.  9 of them are "Props", and the other one is an "Actor" element called: Invasion UFO Complete.duf

    I loaded the actor element and have it on Texture Shaded in the Viewport.  Here is what appears (check out the Scene tab for an item breakdown):

    I am pretty sure there are no "scenes" - only the elements to create a scene.  I could be wrong, but that was my impression all along and the PA had a forum thread here while creating it.

    I just rendered a scene with the UFO last night - then inserted into an A.I. generated background (MidJourney).  I love the texture of the UFO and the model features some very cool morphs.

  • @Gogger Fantastic looking UFO image! I really like the lighting and the sepia-tone look to the image! Are you using the MidJourney free or a paid plan and how do you like it (i.e. ease-of-use and value for the money)?

    I started using MidJourney just before it became 'cool'. I had been using Disco Diffusion a bit prior so was used to the promptology. I blew through my trial that first evening and bought into the $10 a month plan, then in very short order bumped up to the $30 plan and for me it is VERY worth it!  But then, I have a website (DeskToppers - in my sig file below) where I publish about 25 - 40 images PER MONTH (free, no gimmicks, just me exercising my creativity as a web designer, photographer, 3D Renderer, A.I. and graphics artist).  Midjourney is GREAT for creating stand alone art, or images for use with 3D, textures for post-processing photography, what have you. (I've let other A.I. services go as MidJourney suits all my needs). Take this UFO image for instance - I was just happily creating various things in MidJourney and the Nazca lines came to mind, first brought to my attention as a kid in the movie Chariots of The Gods. Once I started getting images like this, I was searching DAZ for UFOs and while I tried another great UFO model, this one just fit better.  I love having a library of 3D models to call upon for image hybrids like this. 

    I want to emphasize, scene, or no scene incuded, this UFO model is well worth the price and a great value! And it was just the touch I needed to finish my scene the way I wanted it.

    @Cerrag Great 1st render with the Invasion UFO, and the light from the scanning/levitation beam reflected on the mailbox and fence posts makes the illusion feel real!
