"I know for a fact that neither of them are wearing pants..." 🤣😂👍 I love it..

This is excellent! Love the ladies, and the car looks great. I really need to get my butt back to playing with DS.. I recently installed a 2TB M2 SSD in that machine, and reinstalled DIM and DAZ. Now I need to actually do something with it.. In the past, I've just grabbed that iterations slider, and yanked it to the right as far as it would go... I'm like that... LOL

I've seem some really life-like stuff at like, 2,000 iterations. So I figured it didn't do much. Almost two years later, and I'm still learning, lol.

Incredible improvement in quality! I am totally impressed by your changes! Many fine kudos on this beautiful revisit!

Thank you! I'm glad it's noticeable. I mean, it looked super obvious to me but I've also been staring at it for days and days

your quality is very evident and both are real foxes

Thank you. I bought Rochelle as soon as I saw her, way back in '18. About a month into using the software. She's my favorite. Then when Aakash came out she became a big reason why I purchased the Kala 8 Bundle. She's not even IN the bundle. Then it was pride month, and I did one render with Aakash and somebody else and then happened to load her into a scene with Rochelle and the rest is history because I can't really render one without the other now, lol.

Canonically, Rochelle is the cover model for the books my character Lenny writes, and she met Aakash through that, though I'm calling them "Rachel" and "Amira" in the book, just to add a little separation. Aakash/Amira is a makeup artist. They're inseperable, and adorable. And I haven't done a scene with either or both that has turned out poorly. Whenever I'm feeling really down I load 'em up and let art happen.

pov in the car is super along with the lighting. very well done render of these gals. at my point in life and budget buying daz products and learning the program would be difficult. don't have a clue how to install data or use my poser stuff in daz.

keep up the super work.

Thanks a bunch! Using poser stuff isn't so bad for the most part, but the file structure is different. I suppose its like the old Apple VS PC thing. The only Poser file I've had trouble with is La Femme, but I haven't been too impressed with that model anyway.

I appreciate the feedback.

Iterations, you can just yank that laft and let it go till you're happy. Some scenes need more. Reflection and bounce do, if you have a lot of light bouncing around. And more lights seem to help. But some things are just weird. I have one going right now that's grinding hard. The character uses a super hd mesh that kills my system.

This one really looks a lot better. Car is smoother, and the enamel shader looks good.

I got the HDRI, and an emmisive plane. Two lights.

I want to do a night scene. Same car, same couple. Different posing, and have them lit by the dash and a streetlight. Maybe put a couple red lights out front to simulate the tailights of another car. Should be a worthy challenge.

Amazing !

Thank you, crender.

Wonderfully done once again !!!🖐

Thanks. Of course... Now methinks there needs to be something hanging from the mirror. And I need to see if I can fix the bump map of the seat/steering wheel which are tied to the same surface. Maybe I'll go in and seperate them so they can get separate shaders.

It's a great scene to practice on.

Wonderful work. (And who needs pants anyway?)

Thanks!

Uh-oh

It seemed too good to be true. And it was. I loaded up the car to go in and work on shaders, see what I could do about the steering wheel. Make it even better.

Only, I hadn't really made it better. I made it worse!

SubD didn't just round the windows. It rounded everything. Which meant that it doesn't fit together right. The doorjams don't work right. That's actually why the door seems to be a little funny. That's why the chrome is sticking up from the hood. Once you zoom out, all sort of ugly seams appear.

Ok. I like this car, but... I'm just glad I discovered this issue before I went and did third render. Sorry Rochelle. We're going to have to find you another ride.

The saga continues! Thanks for all the wonderful comments. Now I'm off to find something suitable. I got that Charger from 3Dclassics...

Hmm. Mayb'e he's got a nice coupe. I got plans for the Charger.

Very cool. Love the POV

Thank you!

Gorgeous image as usual, your ladys looks fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They really do. Thanks for stopping by!

Very nice. I thought it looked familiar. I like their poses.

Mhmm. Unfortunately, once you zoom out you see that SubD had some terrible side effect. :(

The corvette doesn't have chonky windows, thank goodness, or Lenny would be heartbroken.

Rochelle here, though, is going to need a new car. And I think I'll turn it into a story.

Thanks for having a look at the redux!

Stunning image, great render!

Thank you!

great characters and scene

Thanks for the feedback!

Great work on this beautiful image my friend.

Thank you!

Great lighting, is a very beautiful render!

Thank you very much, Bugs. Thank you for looking! I'm working on a new one with these two. After I noticed that the 36 sedan is not going to cooperate, I decided Rochelle needed a new car. Sure, I could just render the Sedan from far away and turn SubD back off, but now that i can see the jagged curves, I can't unsee them. They're all over that thing. You can see there in the lower left were the hood panel is leaving a gap with the rest of the hood from being "curved" by SubD.

Weirdly enough, this is the only car from this set (at least of the ones I have) that has that jagged curve thing going on., You should see it on the door jambs! The Corvette I used in my other render looks great with nothing but some iray shaders added, and according to it's file date they are the same age of model.

Anyway, Rochelle/Rachel is already set up with another ride. I'm writing a short story to go with the render, so it might not get posted until tomorrow.

I get a little long-winded. Occupational hazard of a writer! Thank you for looking, and I hope you comment on the next one!

Beautiful image,great render and light!!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Thank you. bows

This is one class image! So well done!

Thanks! You're a class act, yerself.
