I'm beginning to put the much anticipated new Reality Plugin for Daz Studio 3 through it's paces. Color me impressed, as I expected to be. It's a user friendly interface to the unbiased render power of Luxrender (which is included in the package btw). The light quality is true to life. This is the un-retouched render of Mec4D's Buddy, along with 3 variations, which are simply tonemapped or tonal adjusted versions, no need for render passes to blend occlusion & shadow & depth maps to add layers of realism. The DOF & photo camera aspects (chromatic abberation, grain etc..) were all handled in Reality & Lux. You cannot get results like these in 3Delight or Firefly without well made HDR image based maps, IDL, layered passes, or unique shader setups & lighting arrays to create the illusion of what happens here with just one light. Stay tuned, there is more to come!

Hmmm, I've been waiting on it, don't have it yet, but I will be getting it. Can't wait to see more.
wow..nice work
Alex, that is really impressive. I like the tonemapped EXR output a lot. And thank you for all the support and links. I gotta tell you, it's quite weird to see myself quoted. I barely remember writing that in the forum, so it took me by surprise. Did I write that in the original Reality thread? Great job on Buddy, really inspiring.
