LUXUS FOR DAZ STUDIO HOW TO

LUXUS FOR DAZ STUDIO PLUS

I just want you to be aware, you may need to spend a few hours building out your first shading networks (you may be able to find some pre-built available to download) to render a scene. It depends on the renderer, but sometimes shading networks can be 10+ or even more nodes put together like branches in a tree. Daz Studio gives the illusion that all you need to do to set up a shader is double click and then tweak some settings, but that’s because they’ve already built out the shading networks… I’m not sure how familiar you are with the process. I’m pretty sure with any external renderer you’ll need to re-setup your shaders. I would be interested in checking it out some day, but I choose it over the other two mainly because I want to buy Maya and I think I could use the same shaders in both Daz Studio and Maya with Octane. Octane seems cool, it also has “Out-of-Core Textures Support” which should allow you to GPU render larger scenes with less VRAM by storing some of the textures in your RAM instead. I haven’t spent much time looking into Reality or Luxus, so I know basically nothing about them, unfortunately. I don’t have Reality or Octane, but I’m the most familiar with Octane out of the three. You’re welcome, I’m glad to help! And thanks for the complements! I didn’t sleep well last night, reading you’re comment helped pull me out of that drowsy slump…Īs for external renderers, I used Luxus once, and when I say once, I mean literally once, one render lol.

The files used for that seem, to me, to be less defined than the ones Daz Studio uses for displacement. if you look at the textures used for the various bits of armour in the Nodegraph Editor you'll see that a lot of them use a map for specifying bump. Not sure what you mean in your suggestion It amazes me that you all who are familiar with Daz can tell the difference between the models esp. I just threw some props on the genesis model. I have used 3d model progz for years but it was the first scene I created when I opened Daz I just got it a couple weeks ago. Apart from that, down to the no displacements (yet?!?) in Octane you may get somewhere if you can propagate normal maps from somewhere. One suggestion would be to swap the _bum maps to the _dis ones, where available to get crisper bump look. SimonJM wrote:I knew I recognised it, but was thinking it was for V4 not Genesis!!!

You can do a lot better than this, but it should at least get you on your way.Ī major problem I found with this armour set is that the displacement maps are full of jpeg compression artefacts, which a real displacement channel seems to ignore (eg Lux and 3Delight), but Octane lovingly reproduces when put into the bump channel, same thing happened with I tried converting the displacement maps into normal maps with ShaderMap 2, it put all the jpeg artefacts into the normal map. Here's an example done on the breastplate and the helmet.īump map changed to the ones ending in -dis.jpg Thanks, have to ask are you referring to Octane standalone, Daz standalone, or Daz with the octane plugin?Įither Octane standalone or with the Octane Daz plugin (I'm using the plugin).

Try changing the material to glossy rather than diffuse, I think you'll find it works much better, as you need to have reflection/shine/glossiness to fake displacement by creating highlights etc, so without it, it'll just look flat.
