I wrote this for Vanaduke, and by the way i7-4770 @ 3.4 GHz, 16GB ram, GTX 760 - is also a good application!!!

Awesome flash-photography look. It's like people went looking for big-foot, but came across an elf minding her own business. The only questions on my mind are: what's in her left hand? what's she trying to hide?
And, her look of indignation is priceless
You can reduce Cutout Opacity to almost 0 and it will still emit light but will be completely transparent, as you can see in
this picture I have selected primitive plane with emissive shader and another figure behind the plane.

Thanks for the tips. I really got to stop using out of the box light setups and work on my own lighting style.

That is depressing on so many levels... and by the way i7-4770 @ 3.4 GHz, 16GB ram, GTX 760 - is also a good application!!!
I tried that once or twice before, but always ended up with teeny tiny artifacts where the planes were (had the cutout opacity at around 0.0001); I think that's how the ghostlights work / remember reading something like that over at the DAZ forums.You can reduce Cutout Opacity to almost 0 and it will still emit light but will be completely transparent, as you can see in

I know I also think that's how it works and because I can adjust it myself then I wont buy it. Tiny artifacts I can see but I think they will disappear with more lights used in scene with a lot of samples in iray. I think that if anyone uses iray rendering then should not use built in daz lights.That is depressing on so many levels

please write the last characteristics of your hardware, so that I was then very sad...That is depressing on so many levels

I was having issues with my machine that I managed to finally fix so I made this render of my MILF character Madison to celebrate, I'm particularly proud of the title lol
Mother Fuck Yeah!

I have a spare laptop used solely for work and social: AMD A6-5200 APU Radeon 3.4 GHz but I do my renders on this classic Pentium Dual Core because this is where I stash all my, how do I put this delicately, lewdness. All my porn, pirated files, music, movies, 3D adult games, DAZ files, etc. are stored here. This is their home. :'(dude, you probably don't have enough RAM or video card power...for the first problem you can increase the file of swap system - for the second to Rob the Bank
I try to use the best, but also me - as many others often lack the hardware:FeelsBadMan:
sorry my eng
Anyway, is there a way to remedy my problem with the low specs involved?

The only things I can think of are (not sure how much of this you already know, but ...):
- Try using
You must be registered to see the links: this can drastically reduce how much memory is being used by a scene (it reduces texture sizes, etc, to help things fit into the video card's vram).
- Try:
You must be registered to see the links: this will reduce the polygon count in your models. Never used this but it's a DAZ Original, so should be good to help low-end machines / trade-off is models will look more blocky though this blockiness will be configurable via the Decimator, so most people shouldn't notice what you've done
- Render in layers and composite in image software (think you already do this)
- Find out where @lexx228 lives, rob a bank in his area, leaves lots of clues so the police arrest him, and once everything is quiet, buy a new super computer
Spent all evening messing with skin shaders, tattoo pngs, photoshop, etc. Learned a few things, like if you apply an altern8 shader and then change you mind and apply a different material set, a lot of the surface settings don't get reset. In fact, you have to manually select all the surfaces and find the dz default setting in your shader presets to get things back to their original spot so you can start messing with materials and shaders on a clean slate. Who knew.
Anyway, messed around and got this skin which I like. I'm going for a pale character and can't decide if I should make her a bit more pale than this. What do you think? Pretty happy with the skin details and everything else though. No posing or expressions, base hdri light, only postwork is resizing and sharpening slightly.

I can not wait for next week when I get my new graphics card. This 760GTX with 2GB VRAM is killing me. This render took 6.5 hours (thanks CPU), stopped at 95% convergence and has slight Photoshop work to remove the white noise and smooth some edges. I also reduced the texture detail by 50% for everything but the model and what she is wearing. The lighting on the left is on purpose (trying to show its really bright outside).
Input/Feedback/Thoughts?
Thanks ahead of time!

I'm stuck using a laptop right now, and am looking at an "OMEN HP-15-dc0051nr." Do you think this would be a good rendering platform until I have the room for a custom tower? I'm not sure if I could post a link to HP's specs page, but googling what's in the "" will take you there.

You're going to want the following available options for that laptop in order to be a decent/semi-good rendering machine:
- NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 (6 GB GDDR5 dedicated) - Probably the most important. This option comes with the best processor for this laptop as well. So double win.
- 16 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1x16GB) - The most the laptop can have (judging from the available options).
- 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA; 256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD - Not the most important, but this will help a little.

Those are the specifics I'm looking at, although I may eventually upgrade the drive to a 2TB Hybrid. And 16 GB RAM seems to be the max for laptops. As for the NVIDIA, this is the cheapest laptop I've ever seen with a GPU at all.
How high do the lights need to be in the scheme? Like in a 3-point light set up or in a different way?
