Description
This was... I do not like this corridor set. Oh my gosh this was a bear to work with!
So, this morning I had this all ready to go and hit the render button and went to lunch and when i got back I realized I had a problem because I had the infamous black jaggy line on the red head's forehead. That took some work to correct. And for some reason the character textures got all messed up so I had to fix those. And then.. for some reason the scene would not GPU render. And hitting the render button was locking up the whole computer! Ugh.
So I separated it into layers. Did the background, then the two characters. Of course, this meant I had to add some lights because of course I no longer had the mesh lights. And then I ended doing something that looks like a spotlight effect and... I dig it. That's FOUR spotlights making that simple-seaming spotlight effect, but... I dig it!
This was inspired by the old anime Dirty Pair. My caption would be, "Why do we always get the crazy ones?!" Actually, that would make a great episode title...
It's a fantastic old anime, if you ever come across it...
EDIT: One good update deserves another! Got updated arm cuffs, so updated the pic. And fixed the eyes. They were slightly off. And fixed the gloves on Pixel. Anyway. WOO!

I love those expressions! I remember that old anime. Nicely done.
Thank you, Starship! Glad you stopped by for a peek.
Yup, very reminiscent of that era...
Super image Lyle, with no less than TWO Spacegirls! Can't be bad! Thanks a lot for playing!
Thank you, Chas! The Lovely Angels sure like the suit!
great couple, excellent
Thank you. Mad props to Chasfh for creating such a fun suit to play with.
Wow! What a nice, 'dirty' pair to draw to! A most excellent and exquisite image and even more so when I read all the problems you had creating it! Bravo and oh so many many fine kudos!
Thank you. They were sure worth it.
And since Daz gave away yet another free Sci-fi Corridor this week... I think I'm going to have to do another Spacegirl render. (I don't know why all the corridors, either. I'm just crazy.)
Super image!!! :-)
Thank you very much!
Awesome Girls.
Thanks, Okrim! This set has been soo much fun to play with. I wish for much success for Chasfh once it drops.
Such a wonderful render my friend, love those beautiful space outfits.....excellent work.
Thanks! Had to show off the backside at some point!
Great work
Thank you!
I must have missed the free corridors - they're not in the Free Stuff today. Great image!
It's in the "buy an item and get this free" stuff. Or, if you got PC+, just grt it free, lol.
Thank you for the appreciation!
na wow ... du kannst auch schön rendern ...
Thanks! I do try...
Fantastic work! Very realistic background and nice lighting! Brilliant idea to show both textures!
Well... I did fiddle with it just a bit. Normally is blackk-and-red. But! Lots of surface zones, and so easy to swap between the texrures!
Twice as awesome !
Thank you. I'm sure they'll manage to blow up the entire station before the mission is over!
greatly done, I like how you explain your work.
Thank you. I appreciate it. So many mesh lights in this set! Really had to re-think my process. Which, in the end, worked out better. I think.
You invoked the name of my favorite pair of trouble makers, Kei and Yuri, so I had to respond (LOL)!!! Very interesting take on the girls. . . maybe I should get a couple of my ladies and play with this theme? Thanks for the idea (small chuckle!) Just wondering about the gold clad female at the far end of the hallway. . . friend or enemy? My hat is off to you for going through all those rendering issues! Persistence pays off!!!
Yay! Another DP fan! I took a couple liberties, and went more for personality then trying to exactly match character shapes from the anime. Like, what if we got a live-action?
I figure the space jester is probably an obstacle. It's hard to tell until you study how close her head is to the celing, but I scaled her up quite a bit. She towers over the Lovely Angels.
I had to resist going and finding a suitable model for Mughi...
what a cool pair! wonderful work!
Thank you. I LOVE that "Angel's Light" image you just posted!
When you get pc locking issues, it usually means your gram is overloaded, has now gone into ram, and overloaded that. Daz does not have a way to manage any of that, 'cause idiots. i strongly recommend a plugin called Scene Optimizer by V3Digitimes. The main problem is that most new content is simply bloatware. Take that 4k texture and reduce it by 1/2. You hardly ever need a texture to be that size unless you absolutely NEEEEED to render nose pores. Add in fibremesh hair and you will never have enough pc power to really take advantage of Iray. Any scene should never have a total poly and texture size in memory greater than your G-RAM or you are going to bog things down.
I hear ya. I think they could do something to utilize your virtual memory space more. I did delete MOST of the corrider set, and before I gave up and did it as layers, I was only using about 2gb memory. But. All those mesh lights drove it nuts.
Doing it in layers, it loaded into g-ram fine, and I didn't even need to let the BG run long. I just ran it into the little bit of the foreground that was "in-focus" was nice and sharp, and hit the kill switch.
I got the Scene optimizer. That would have been my next step. I had half a mind to do a couple more renders in this scene, so I didn't want to fiddle with it too much. If I go back, then I'll see if scene optimizer can save my sanity with it. I'd like to do one that isn't blurred because I like the crazy space jester character I put in there. I'm also thinking of doing one with helmets on, but since it's now separated into two different scenes, that would be a piece of cake.
More than likely, I'll move on. Lots of ideas to explore with the spacesuit! I can always come back around if the mood strikes me.
Wonderful image, once again excellent work!!!!
Thanks Mike! Take care of yourself!
Great characters and render!
Thank you very much!
WOW!
if they are "dirty" then all the better! very sensual scifi pinups
Thank you very much, Richard! Hope you're having a fine week.
Wonderful work. Sounds like this one was a bear to do. It was worth the effort !!! You did a fine job. A 5++ in my book.
Thank you Daggerwildo!
Beautiful sci-fi image, awesome characters!!!Nicely done.👍🙋♂️
Thanks!
Excellent work! Sometimes the more of a pain an image is the better you like it in the end. :)
I most heartedly agree with that sentiment, my friend!
Very nice work, it's fantastic
Thank you kindly, Kord.
Nice work but it took a double take to see the woman in the background. good job as always.
You'll be able to see her better soon, lol. Thank you very much. bows
Excellent render! Overcoming obstacles that inhibits one's own creativity, can in itself be so rewarding! Great job on making this look so good! I like it! Have a great weekend! :-)
Thanks a bunch, Johnny! And you too!
Your new image looks very nice, I wish you a good evening and a good weekend, stay alert and in good health!
Thanks! And to you as well.
This looks really great - well worth all the hair-pulling it took to get it done! (and be careful with that, or you'll end up like me... Not much on my head (or in it sometimes for that matter... 😬😁). Still, I wouldn't mind a mission with these two!
Well done, my friend!
Thank you. It was a lot of fun, despite the challenges. Taking a bit of a break from the suit. Getting caught up with editing my book. I keep getting hit with stuff, so it always feels like I'm falling behind. But. I know I'll have a new render up in a day or so.
Hope it is well with you.
And yeah. I think the Dirty Pair would get along with the TNA girls
Nice. The black lines on the forehead during render, in my render experience, its due to the hair cap. I resized the hair cap either a bit smaller or larger whichever makes it go away. Not sure if that's the case here, but that'd be my first suspect. Nice pair of buns here. I'm planning a backside render next too.
Yeah. It was the hair cap. Sometimes you can get rid of it just by matching the hair's SubD with the hairs, but in this case I ended up having to resize it just slightly. Thanks! Glad to see you.
nicely done. Interesting characters
Thanks! They really are.
