From what I understand, if you have x octane licenses and x computers in the same network, you can use all of the computers available gpu´s for network rendering.

Now my question is, does this also work if you have, like myself, one machine at home and one in the office? Would it be possible to ...

Hey guys,

I´m trying to change the skin of a character and try to make it look more thin and dry, like in a bodybuilding or fitness competition. One thing that helps of course is getting a bit of a tan on but that´s only part of it. I´m using ordiales skin as base right now and could use a few ...

Hey guys, I´m having this problem with the recently released Leyton Hair.

I´ve tried to use it with Tonysculptors hair shader from the library, with the attached result.

Then again there might be a way to go with Poser ...

Wow, that did the trick! Thanks again for taking me throug it, I feel like I would never have managed to figure it out on my own...I´ve started looking into the NGE and it looks like I can learn a lot there.

Additionally I found what caused the brownish look: I accidentally changed the specular ...

If not, I can make a screenshot of my settings on the 1.2 compatible version. Basically I just plugged the texture into everything until it worked :mrgreen:
Actually I've started playing around with a much simpler skin (Diordales), and I find that to be almost as good. Being simpler it eats a lot ...

I see, thanks for clearing that up!

So what´s the usual way to have hair move dynamically in an animation? Do it by hand like in DAZ Studio?

Well I´ve been browsing through the product libraries and there are a few I´d try, here´s a couple:
