3DD EDEN - SPECIAL DAZSTUDIO - IRAY SKIN SHADER by SOULSSHINE

SHADERZ - A new revolution on a Community dazStudio Custom Shaderz Development 


HI FRIENDS !
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME !

Been talking this with Some friends as jepegraphics

And all agree that ...

TO MAKE THINGS AS THIS !

 
 
"Lighting is much more important than materials. In this render I used HDR environment and 3 spotlights.  What you need is to learn to control the parameters of Tonemapping. Tonemapping setting are very important for good results"




Yeah  completly right on that one ... 

BUT ...

For me that is just the "old school" way of doing things xD

Iv been there ... for many years ...


And actually 

...

wELL ... i have actually 20 years of 3d Art ...
Been trying everything there is in 3D ...

And i'm searching for something more evolved else xD


Right now i think we need things more on the "Pixar" philosophy that :


- Phisical Materials Defenitions they should be individually hard handcoded ...
- - So that They look good no matter what lightning conditions or even cameras setups they are under ...

That happens with "Arnold render, vray, maxwell, renderman ... " Materials ...


 

And Doesnt happen That much so far with IRAY Common materials setups 

That because no one have been having the courage or knoledge to Hardcode or at least try to emulate proper no Enviroment dependable Defenitions in a More Artistic but also realistic photo based referenced way ...

...

So no matter what Shaders Settings or Defenitions Packages are out there in the market "right now" 

All them are highly dependable on Enviroments setups, lights hdris ... Whatever ...

And that is Just because THE Available MDL SHADERS Can be As COmplex As UBBER and try to be universal 

But Are Actually not Properly done inside the Shader in a Way to Achieve artistic realism 

independable of Enviroment conditions 

AND YEAH ! TONEMAPPING Is quite a greath thing ...

AZIRA Egipcian Girl by SOULSSHINE


BUT tonemapping just FLATENS results ...

There is a lot more needed INSIDE a Shader ...

With its Shader Language Defenitions 

To better And properly React to the Surounding light .

ENOMIS PG2 0.4.2.3 FR - 620s-3000x3741 by SOULSSHINE

And that is only possible with Coded Custom Builded Shaders ...

Wich is something that NO ONE is doing ...

...

All everyone even hot merchants ...

Are just taking it the EASY way ...
 ...

Just Tweeking IRAy UBER Shader parameters ...

And calling that "new Shaders"

..

That just End up "Too hard" for users to Emulate their results ...

Without proper Advanced Setups ...

That Require much time and knoledge from the end users ...

...

But no One Actually having the Hardwork and knoledge to actually DO new Hand coded Shaders 

( WELL NO ONE Less MEC4D And me i think ... ) ... but again we Both have 20 years of this ...


...

And for the lack of all that ( In a better Product ) i am Developing a DazStudio Custom MDL shader 

THAT DOES NOT NEED HDRI OR LIGHTNING At All ! to look good ... 

Well at least i am trying Prety hard ...

You got here a preview of it ...

Its just  a prebeta 

I am Doing ..

A thing that i call it 

WWW.3DD.US - SHADERZ - SKINZ - VOL 1.0.1B Pre1


Its a Bit Complex tO Explain ....

So here a tecnical Chart ...


1 - 3DD - SKINZ Vol 1-0 Beta Prev 1 - JPG-WEB by SOULSSHINE

The idea of SKINZ Products line here is to Develop ( Custom MDL shaders )

Its a Quite Crazy Amount !

Why we will be needing Alot of people witH Diferent needs to Make their own Needs our Before & After ...

All Shaders We can Add them As "Shader layers" on top of Any Existing Shaders ...

And we can Even mix up to Dozens Diferent Shaders ...

So yeah its a CRAZY job ...

:painter:
 
---


And as i am Developing The Tech Part ...

And i am actually developing this thing on a Small laptop ...

----

I'm not the kind of usual rich big Computer rigs daz user 
 

And im actually needing to make some money out of this ...
 
And i am putting all i got in this ...

______

As soon as possible 

I am Actually going to need Artists ! 


As you ...

To Put a Litle bit of ART 

On the BEFORE & AFTERs  

---

For the Moment ...
I am in Brazil far Away from my studio in portugal ...

And Right now to work ..
I just have a laptop ...

That gladly at least "just" opens dazStudio ...

But it takes 1 hour to do Just 20 interactions lol .

So i am kinda needing Desperatly 
Good Artists ! People like you on my  Sides

So my products Look good !

...

And well Sure ! 

I will give you and everyone my product ! 

To Everyone Participating with whatever their Artistic Images Showing Off my Products

In echange i Will Also put a Direct link to all The Artists Portfolio / Stores Sites .
So That Way my products 
...

Im thinking on open a patreon page ...

So i can actually kick Start this Project someway better ...

And People also can PAY WHAT YOU WANT ! For the First betas ...

Before Sending to Daz3d and Renderosity ....

---

AND OF COURSE i am kindly listening to Customer ideas to new products !

---


ANYWAY !

Let me give you a ( lowsy rendered ) EXAMPLE !

OF WHAT I AM BUILDING HERE ! 

...

HERE IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU RENDER A DAZSTUDIO CHARACTER ! 

1 - Genesis 3 Male - Base Shader by SOULSSHINE

WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING / NO LIGHTS NO HDRIS / Nothing touched ...  
Just a Ubber Standart Shader Aplied

For proper Comparings 
.... well we need to work with VANILLA / DazStudio Base Scene Settings ...

With the Default dazStudio / as you open it scene ...

No Lightning - no lights , no enviroment Setups ...
No Suround Geometry Soft Emissions 
Kind of Tricks ...

Even the Default camera Lamp is turned off 


And SO ABOVE is DazStudio IRAY UBBER base as it comes from Default No irray Ubber Settings Tweaked ...

And ...

Going into more Advanced setups ..
LETS GET SOME ADVANCED UBBER SKIN SETTINGS !

1.1 - Ubber Settings From Facebook Artist by SOULSSHINE


And Putted them Down on a Genesis 3 Male / Default Genesis essencials free Character that comes with dazStudio ...



....

AND - With all iray Ubber parameters 
WITH YOUR UBBER SHADER SETTING Above WE Got This Result ...

1 - Advanced Iray Ubber Shader Settings - Default by SOULSSHINE


Quite a Bit Better ... BUT ...

As you can see comparing to some ARTIST image ... 
WitH Exact Same Shader settings


 

Yup this is the same Shader Settings as Above 


It Doesnt compare ...
At all ..

...

AND WHY ? 

Well ...
The Trick ABove is all on the Enviroment HDRI 
And on the Colored Geometry Emission 

As it is the Suround "bouncing" Colored lightning 

And the Very good Texture map that Does that Skin "Wow" Aspect 

...

And in this case ( without the full scene setup ) 

...  a newbie user that doesnt know or have all that Lights and enviroment setup ...

It just CANT achieve the Same degree of quality ...

...

NOW WHAT CAN OUR  3DD.US SHADERZ SKINZ v1.0.1 PRODUCT Do ? 

Well simply Without Watsoever lights or Tricks at all !

You just drag and drop on the Default dazStudio Scene

And BAM ... 

2 - Genesis 3 Male - Skinz Shader - Front Render by SOULSSHINE

Our product It Gives you this Advanced Looks to Any Character ... Straightforward !


Without Absolutly any lightning conditions Dependencies ...
It makes the Default Ubber Shader look Imedeatly ( Without any tweaked settings ) as this ...

AND MORE ! 

You can Even MIX it And Make it Adapt With your common UBBER Whatever Settings and shaders you got 

1 - 4 Layers Ubber Skinz Setup - R1 by SOULSSHINE


For Example ... That Above is a MIX Of the Custom UBBER Shader Settings ... With our SKINZ ..

And as you can see ...

1 - Advanced Iray Ubber Shader Settings - Default by SOULSSHINE

Its Quite a change ...

Even from   Whatever Evolved "iray ubber Shader" Settings and templates ...

That Because our Shader its not a "Settings template" 

As usually on all merchants ...

...

Its a Complete New Recoded and Recompiled MDL code injected on UBBER Standart Shader ...

Allowing Hundreds of Layered Materials Defenitions ...

To happen Above and bellow the Usual Ubber Shader Settings


-------------

So What i am Up to is to try to reach This Degree of Professional Shading ...

AND OK We are still not there
