Does anyone know why I cant seem to use spotlights and ghost lights together? this has been going on for a while and I've just been lighting my scenes in other ways, but ghost lights are useful so I would like to get them working, This issue is with both SY Invisilights and Iray Ghost Light Kit One I will provide some images below which I hope will show my issue more clear than I can explain

Image one this is just one spotlight that I am basically faking the sun with for demonstration purposes, and the hdri in the background as you can see everything it working fine, the noise clears up relatively quickly and I've got some okay basic lighting going on

Image two this is with one ghost light on from the Iray Ghost Light Kit One kit usually I will perhaps put them near the windows to add a bit of more light to the room, as you can see the spotlight is now just a noisy mess especially compared to above image, If I render like this (I've tried) I'm looking at a very long render, I've also left it for a while to see if it clears up in the viewport, it don't

Image 3 basically same thing as above just with a different product, When I first purchased these products they seemed to work with spotlights fine, as far as I can remember, also I can add mesh lights or point lights and everything works just fine, it's just the spotlights, Oh and just to mention I am using spectral rendering here but the problem is the same with it on or off so that is not the issue. Maybe I'm just being thick and this is to be expected, but surely using ghost lights and spotlight together shouldn't result in this noisy mess and massive increase in render time?

I've tried to reproduce the effect you have in your scene, or at least something similar.
There's a setting in daz that reduces the noise, i'm not sure if it works as expected in your case, but it's worth a look.


In the scene there is only the hdri + a spotlight + a ghost light placed in front of the windows

I set it to 500 iterations for the test.
on the left I left the default settings.
on the right I set nominal luminance to 400 and Noise degrain Filtering to 4.

Well most AI porn is shit, it sucks and it's pretty stupid, I am trying to build a different type of content, along with an Expert Daz artist. I am trying to make highly detailed and almost realistic porn, it's a complex combination of actions to get from a render to a AI image.

I am trying to test the market and see if people would love the style vs regular 3DCG.

What's your bias against AI work? I hate what's out there today as well, pretty much what AI is good at, a single portrait of a expressionless person:) with really bad hands and feet
The first thing I saw, it's the AI enhancement on your work.
I have a little message for everyone who post AI things here to go to right dedicated thread.
After, I read your description, and I've decided not to post my comment to you to going to the right thread...

But for me, your work, as good as it could be, don't have his place in this thread.
I'm not a "thread nazi", so, do what you want indeed.

I'm puting "like" certain post in AI dedicated thread, as I'm puting "like" in posts here.

I'd like to see the event when he got a success with one of those chicks at least.
it’s the same chick:) different hair styles and both scenes will be part of the first release.

Will show more previews in the coming weeks, how’s the style? detail? any comments or feedback?

Thanks, I think this does help a little, it must be something to do with how spotlights are set up or something, because with any other lights there is no problem at all, render times are pretty quick and it clears up pretty quick in viewport also, spotlights are just perfect for faking the sun though, thanks for taking the time to help me out, these settings do clear it up a little quicker so that's nice at least.

One of the big reasons for not liking Daz & AI mixed together, is that with a little training of AI, you could make something average, look like it came from the Brushes of
,
, or any other famous Artist.
Now I'm not sure that Shoppe of Photos, can manage that, no matter how good someone is with it. So, if there's a Forum Thread for AI art, ask there, not here in a Daz Skills Thread.
