Description Today's experiment with DAZ Studio and Iray examines converting "FWSA Samira HD for Victoria 7" using "N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 - Revolution".  I had to manually apply the glitter masks back to the character. Her runes on her torso and on her face, have a mask in the 'Metallic Flakes Weight' - the value set to 1, then in the 'Metallic Flakes Color' zone it has the corresponding color I wanted. I also looked at the "Top Coat Color" and noticed it was a little dark , so I increased it's value. No postwork.

Thank you, I really liked how N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 - Revolution" handled the darker skin tones

I really miss the fact that among the models there is no darker skin! I would know what to do with it! There are some eastern models, but I hate when European girls dress in eastern clothes! I do not know the internet games because I do not play them, but I know and love the animations! They are filled with fanciful figures! I also like Mangas, but unfortunately they do not always like it!

I think it looks wonderful, I tried out Daz iray for the first time yesterday I seem to be getting a bit of noise on my image there are no signs to tell me when the render is finished is this right? I know the noise on the image isn't.

Thank you,
You should get a render progress bar just like you do with a 3Delight render. I usually get noise in the dark areas.  You can adjust the min and max sample settings, as well as max time in Render settings Progressive Rendering to have it render longer to try to get rid of the noise.

N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 is such a wonderful tool I'm doing tests with it and I'm amazed at the results.

Thank you,
I was concerned the flowers were too much, but she needed to lean on something, a chair blocked everything, so I used a pot.  Then it looked weird with nothing in the pot

Thanks,
I learned a lot from this experiment about how "N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 - Revolution" works and can be modified

Oh? Anything you're willing to share? I've got it now, and have used it. Once. But I feel rather clueless with it, like there's a lot of potential I'm missing out on. (Which is pretty normal for me with skin stuff.)

It works great out of the box for most skins. Just click and go.  

I only ran into a challenge with very dark skin.  I thought that the "Top Coat Color" was too blue and dark, so I made it warmer and lighter and was pleased with the results.  Also the make-up was removed (first time I ran into this) because it used a 'Metallic Flakes Color" and mask.  It was easy to fix manually once I understood what it was doing in the original.  I like the results better than the original version.

Still don't understand how it works, hopefully a manual will shed some light on it.  It's suppose to be available tomorrow.  I am looking forward to trying it on other figures and models that aren't supported by default settings.

Aha! There will be a manual! Whew. And thanks for the tip, I was screwing with the base and translucency colors. I guess I'm still adapted to 3delight.
