Hey Banti,

Thank you for the compliments and the insight of the kit it's very much appreciated, you are right about some settings in the "High Render Settings" preset but those were not really intended for animation, and they are not the fastest settings I would agree with that statement completely ...

Thank you for mentioning it here, I was really happy to be a part of it :)

For anyone interested what is included is:

Genesis 8 Female Octane Materials:
04 Matte Skin Materials
04 Glossy Skin Materials
26 Partial Materials

Genesis 8 Male Octane Materials:
04 Matte Skin Materials
04 Glossy Skin ...

There's things you can try:

- from Octane viewport use Reload/Rebuild scene in case that geometry is positioned off that should put it back in place
- check the material settings, for displacement/bump settings or refraction that may be affecting the look of material in Octane render making it ...

Can confirm that with new driver and version of Daz Studio 4.14 and Octane. the application will stay in memory for 2.5-3 min after you exit. I tried several tests and within 3 min of closing the application the app exits in task manager.

Ironically enough after the update even with Octane plugin ...

For skin it's best to use the Mixed Material with Specular and Diffuse material mixed in. Diffuse does have scatter but it's not what you'd expect from translucent skin, that's why you add Specular in the mix to get some refraction between surface and subsurface layer as more realistic formula. Look ...

I am not familiar with Affinity Photo, i suppose its a photo editor? I do use Adobe Lightroom sometimes, this portrait is unedited tho. I looked at you settings and the only thing different is the highlight compression and a different response curve. The kernel settings are not saved into this file ...

It looks like it. In theory it should be treated the same as the Gradient node. Is that node broken too?

Color Gradient node doesn't do that crazy behavior, oddly enough I get that behavior only with Toon Ramp node, and I think I tried all nodes recently (as of the upgrade to Prime). But I ...

I'm gonna go and guess Toon Ramp is still broken? Every time I try to use it anything I click after adding the node makes Toon Ramp node grow in lenght until it's impossible to work in NGE. It does give me some more levels in shading (as I assume it is supposed to do), but node behavior is pretty ...

Well I'm not sure what is happening. Two of the presets I regularly use on the Hivewire Cat model seem to lock it up and I can't do anything when OcDs is active (not even open a new scene), but the Bear Cub model from AM doesn't repeat the behavior when loaded with LAMH for some reason. There's ...
