Not any "specific" asset. Mesh light can come from anything, including default primitives, like a plane, or a sphere, or a cube, or, basically anything you want it to act as a light source.
Basically, let's say you want to use a default primitive cube as a mesh light... select the said cube, go to the surfaces tab, and, using the default daz uber iray palette, load "emissive" onto it. And, now it's a light source, it emmits luminosity to the area. If you want to be more advanced with it, you can load an image to the emission color value, and use that as an emission base. Any image, but, as you'd guess, the brighter, the better, and, if your hardware (mostly your VRAM) allows it, google for free HDRI maps, to use as emission images.
That above applies to all types of mesh lights, like a lamp, or a neon tube, or a neon sign, or, basically anything you want to glow and emit light. Even portions of a character's skin, with the right use of masks to block/allow emission per surface pixels

So it would work to put "a mesh" over my ghost lights. I asume I would have to make them visible again for the effect to take place?

Hi Troxvi,

The something I've seen in "fleshier" girls is a little-bit of a larger pubis mons and not a super thin public area.

Just a thought. :)

...hi, pirates, your help is needed, and i don't know wherever else i could ask for it!

I've installed the "Acting Skills" expressions packs for G8F on my DAZ3D, but when it comes to find them between the products... you can't! I mean, there's the installed pack, but inside it there's only the "reset" options and the mime masks! No expressions in there!

After having unpacked the .zip, i've found the expressions are located in the "data" folder... but that folder is unreachable by the DAZ browsing system. So my question for you is: how can i reach those expression .dufs, in order to use them on my characters?

Thank you very much for your help! Render on!...

God stupid just makes my dick go limp. Men of the World please don't breed that cow! :(

Back to the renders - I like the first one but I think her hair is too clean for her "zombie horde fighter" look. :)

Hi JiiEf,

I like her eyes, lips and nips! Nice choices.

I do agree with you about that hair (I probably have that installed as well) not that great. What is the name of the hair product?

The part by the forehead looks like farm straw. :(

Nothing wrong with a little roll in the hay.

Hi JiiEf,

I really like how the dress rendered.

Very nice breastering - I meant texturing. ;)

Thanks, I love that dress, but it always gives me a headache with clipping.

With her skin tone, I'm not sure Bailey spends much time on beaches, but she strikes me as a vintage pinup bikini kind of girl:

Hi Mescalino,

Wow, look at all those surfaces!

How long did that render take? You must have a beefy rendering setup. That scene would probably kill my current setup - took 34 mins for rendering a portrait. :(
Click to expand...
Not sure i think i stopped it after 8-9 hours. I turned it on just before i went to bed :)
But yes its a pretty render intensive scene.

But Portraits can also take a bit, especially close-ups.
still figuring out best ways to light certain scenes.

no, nothing like that.
Mesh lights are just meshes, that emit light. They have several quirks, but they also offer several advantages. You don't need to put a mesh over your lights, it will simply block/diffuse/refract the light. You simply use emissive shaders to turn the mesh itself into a light. After I finish a render I run at the moment, I'll cook up a fast example.

If the expression dufs are in the data folder, that means you won't find them in the runtime/library, but INSIDE the character's mesh, when you rezz and pose her. I'd go look in pose controls-head, and see if they are loaded there, as dialed options
