SimTenero Particle Physics [Commercial]
Hello All,
SimTenero Particle Physics has just been released and I am super excited to see what everyone does with it!
http://www.daz3d.com/simtenero-particle-physics-the-complete-bundle
I wanted to spin up a thread where I can answer your questions and collect your feedback. Here is a link to the documentation, I'd strongly recommend giving this a read as you get started:
I also wanted to add a couple of quick addendums:
Modifying Particle Textures - This is already covered in the doc, but there's one important note I forgot to add. I would recommend not using texture maps on particles or, at the least, using very small maps. Each particle has a unique material instance to accommodate animated effects. If you have 400 particles in your scene using texture maps, that'll be 400 copies of that texture in memory when you render (it doesn't use that much disk space when you save, only memory during a render). If you use very small textures (which makes sense the particles are usually pretty small :-)), maybe 256x256, it probably won't be too bad. Still, I'd recommend avoiding it and just dialing material properties when possible.
Saving Presets - If you have tweaked an emitter's settings and would like to save a preset, use File -> Save As -> Scene Subset, and select only the emitter. One very important note, your custom emitters need to be saved to the Content Library where the Particle Effects Engine/Emitter Packs are installed! I'd recommend creating your own folders in the existing Simtenero/Particle Physics/Emitters folder and saving your custom presets there.
There's a ton you can do with these emitters! I've probably only scratched the surface myself, so I can't wait to see what all of you talented artists come up with!!!
The emitter presets should make getting started pretty easy, but there are tons of variables to tweak if you want to dig in! Don't hesitate to post your questions here and I wioll do my very best to help you along the way. I also suspect the wider community may learn how to do things I haven't anticipated, so please feel free to share your tips and tricks!
Most Importantly, HAVE FUN!!!

Ultimate Eyebrows for Genesis 8 Female [Commercial]
Hot on the heels of my Ultimate Make-Up set, I have a new product which should hit the store this week - Ultimate Eyebrows for Genesis 8 Female(s). G8F introduced fibermesh brows but each character only comes with one set, so I thought it would be good to have lots of choice and have produced 50 modelled eyebrows which can be used with any Genesis 8 Female character. I have also included lots of choice for eyebrow colors and the ability to add eyebrow make-up which affects between the eyebrow hairs. You can alter the thickness of the hairs, or fade them to make them more or less prominent. It works great with Ultimate Make-Up to add more variation to the look of your characters. And I have also used Hair Lustre Shaders in the promos - I never render hair without them!
I had a lot of fun making this product - and I hope that you will have a lot of fun using it with your characters to give them a unique look. Let me know what you think - and I'd love to see what you do with it once it is available.

Ultimate Make-Up for Genesis 8 Female [Commercial]
I have a new product which should hit the store in the coming week - Ultimate Make-Up for Genesis 8 Female(s). G8F introduced make-up sets using Diffuse Overlays, but each character only comes with a handful of choices, so I thought it would be good to have a product that can be applied to any G8F character (and also any G3F character which uses the default UV set) and which gives a huge range of realsitic make-up choices. it contains 50 choices of eye shadow color, 50 lip colors and 50 matching nail colors, and there are also options to make each one lighter or darker, subtly shoft the tone or to fade the colors so that it sits comfortably with your character. There are also 5 eye shadow shapes for every color, and you can have them with or without blusher. So there are literally thousands of combinations.
Just a note that it is for iRay only and because it uses the overlay channel, it either needs the eyebrows to be part of the base face texture, or the use of the fibremesh eyebrows which many new characters have - I also have a product in the works to address this, but more on that later! Oh and you won't be surprised that I also used Hair Lustre Shaders in the promos!
I had a lot of fun making this product - and I hope that you will have a lot of fun using it with your characters to give them a unique look. Let me know what you think - and I'd love to see what you do with it once it is available.

Released, Spartan Armor for Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 Female (Commercial)
HI all,
This will be my new armor, I'm focusing already on doing armors, either Sci-Fi ones, fantasy, or like this one, my first classic, or ancient Greek armor.
It's inspired on real hoplites, not the ones from the movie, as such, it wears breastplate 
, skirt, armband and lower band, or maybe it's more like a vambrace. Also has greaves, a cape, a helmet which can be modified, a pauldron, an undies.
As for weapons, comes with an Aspis shield, a spear or Dory, and a sword with a kukhri shape called Kopis. This sword was seen by Greek citizens as a not honorable sword, as didn't made clean cuts as the other one the Xiphos, a short straight one. The Kopis wound seemed axe wounds more that sword ones.
Two materials, one from Sparta, and a darker version.
Hope you like it!.

Lord of the Bears (commercial)
“Some would call him a were-bear, but those do not know. He is a large man, though not quite a giant, standing more than seven feet, who can transform into a great bear. What I do know of him is that he is is old and powerful and not to be trifled with. Though he has a deep laugh and gentle spirit if you are on his good side. I would suggest to be on his good side.” - Tarron, the woodland guide.
Bring a rugged presence to your renders with fully custom HD morphs and textures. This set features the standard appearance, a version that adds a bit extra weight for hibernating, a primal version that shows the animal that lies within the human form, custom claws, vein maps and a brow morph that gives him a bit fiercer look.
Two new sets from me after a few years (Silly jobs and real life issues).

IRAY Rain [Commercial]
Quick Note: Since this isn't my standard fare, i've moved it to it's own thread. Hope nobody minds!
IRAY Rain
On my travels i've noticed that the lions share of artists i come across tend to post-work weather effects into their pieces. Since daz doesn't currently have native tooling for such systems, like particle generators and such - i've tried my hardest to develop a series of integrated solutions. The first of which is "IRAY Rain".
Iray Rain is a comprehensive set, comprised of a main rain system, a choice of puddles and a set of impact splashes for low angle rendering. This set utilizes a different approach to single poly camera rigs, or 3d droplets - opting for staggered geometry over a large area. This means reflections both off camera or a large distance from your subject can be picked up and cascaded amongst neighbouring geometry. The puddles and splashes are also affected by this, giving a pretty neat result! The shading took quite a lot of tinkering to get the desired effect, but remains practical among differing lighting methods. Presets for varying intensities are also included.
Some sample renders:

360 Rotating Turntable Animations [Commercial]
360 Rotating Turntable Animations
Show off your characters, vehicles, environments, and props in 360° movement. This turntable set works by parenting your lights, figures, and/or objects to an animated node. Multiple nodes can be used in one scene. Each 23 and 46 second animation is available in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. Multiple speeds include slow, medium, and fast. Rotate your objects a little or a lot with twelve presets ranging from three to twenty-nine full rotations. Key frames can be edited in the Timeline Tab. Animate2 is not needed.
In the Render Tab choose Render Type: Movie. Works with 3Delight and Iray.

Rim Light Rig Iray [Commercial]
Rim Light Rig Iray is a combination prop and multiple light set for figures, environments, and props. The dramatic effect is a halo outline and silhouette, that separates your main subject from the background adding dimension to your renders. The colorful spotlights and invisible light planes are parented to a non-rendering rig for easy positioning and scaling to fit your main subject. All lights follow a light pointer for the ability to focus attention where you want it. These lights work very well with LAMH 2 Iray Catalyzer.
Simple instructions are included on the store page.
Feel free to post any questions or renders here.
Much thanks to Llynara for inspiring this updated set for Iray!
