Pink Weiß

For those interested, I made the Pink Weiß beer label from the game. I made two versions, one for each of the zeddicuss sets.


It's not the exact font, but with over 600 pages of similar fonts, it's good enough, imo.

Just place the runtime folder into your DAZ library.

My first render of Nicole. Her hair looks off, I know. It did not render well, which is a shame since she has arguably the most beautiful hair asset used by any character in the game. Sorry for that. I tried to make it look a little less bad in Photoshop, but it is still not enough.

I used a 2000 'Max samples' count to render this, like in many of my previous pieces. But it is clearly not enough by itself to make Claudia hair (that's the name of this hair) look without glitches. Next time I render Nicole, I will raise the 'Max samples' figure. I could also try using the post denoiser in Daz, but I do not like that it makes the picture lose detail.

As usual, thanks a lot to Night Hacker for his post about the assets used for the character.

I've rendered it again with more samples and this time I've also lowered the cutout opacity for most parts of the hair, as suggested by Pillock. Thank you again, man. I think that it looks better now. This time I've forgotten to redirect her eyes so that she looks at the camera, though. Man, it's so annoying that regardless of having saved the scene after I posed her eyes, I still have to repose them every time I load the scene.

For what it's worth, I think she looks great. Nicole is among my top 5 ladies in the game, and your art has really done her justice. I look forward to seeing how your future renders of Nicole are going to look. :cool:(y)

I think she looks great, overall a nice render.
You could try setting the cutout opacity of the hair to 0.98%, do this for all the elements except the cap, leave that at 1.0.

Thank you! And I also appreciate your tip. If you had not mentioned it, I probably would never have thought of playing with the cutout opacity. I will also try that next time I make something with Nicole or some other figure whose hair is so complex. (y)

Hair looks much better than on my works, where I usually put at least 8k samples. SubD level maximum?

Thank you! For the hair, I've set the Render SubD Level (Minimum) at a value of 3. And the View subD level at 2. But I think that for the final render it only counts the former, if I did not get that information wrong.

. The Subdivision Level controls the subdivisions for the object in the viewport and Render SubD Level controls the subdivision level at render time. This allows you to have a low SubD object in the viewport for faster responsiveness in navigating and assembling your scene and then higher subdivided object at render time when your computer can devote all its resources to the rendering.
So Render SubD is important for rendering, SubD for preview can be kept at level 1. Because it will eat memory, at each next value the number of polygons increases by 4 times.

That info comes pretty handy. (y) Time to keep the View SubD Level at 1 to get a faster preview in iRay.

Don't be too much of a perfectionist.:D Results will come with time and experience. The lighting is very good. As for the maximum number of samples, it depends on the hardware you have. Most samples take a long time and if you don't have a powerful Nvidia card it will take time.

Her hair looks like a real person and for me personally, it's better than some perfectly styled hair like a fake doll. Every part of the hair is noticeable because you use a black background. If you choose something white, they won't be as noticeable. But the beautiful hair will not stand out on a white background. So experiment and choose the scene you like best.
