So....

PopcornFX doesn't work with iRay or with RTX cards and they're upgrading the default render engine to be superior to the PBR plugin they have for sale?

Man, I just bought both of these, under the pretense that both worked together and I was getting the superior render engine to maximize my render box speed.

I'm kinda pissed. Especially since scale doesn't seem to work in Character Creator, which I just bought pipeline for.

In the Body/Full Body there's the "Character Scale" slider, is not this the setting you need?

Yeah, it's everything I need. The problem is, when I export an avatar with it to make a morph, it increases the height of the avatar, when it should be decreasing it and vice versa.

Wow this is impressive. Can I ask did you render the video and first still with Iclone native renderer or with Iray/Iclone?
Thank you so much :">

@Cinevision,
Thank you!! And that's all using the native renderer and I only have a 1070. No Iray.

Wow this is awesome. I gave up on Iray since the rendering is so slow and buggy. I'm learning to use Iclone native renderer but it seems a bit flat no matter how I set up the lights, how do you make the nice shadow on his face and the rim light? It looks super!!! I use directional light + spot light to light up the face and another spot light for back lighting but the spot lights didn't make big different even though I increase the intensity and other parametters a lot (

Hi there Cinevision--sorry I missed this. I've been off the forums for a while. I don't use directional lights except in large outdoor scenes. Only spots, emissives, and points. In your scenes where it seems like you can't get it bright enough, you might have to mess with Decay and Inverse Squared Decay, trying unclicking and or clicking to see how that effects things. "Light shapes" also make a big difference, sometimes making you need higher intensity and sometimes less. The other thing I do especially for faces, is play with the shadow resolution--for lights on close up faces, like a key light, I sometimes go as high as 4096 for rendering. I tend to have spots (as key lights) and/or emissives for every major character in a scene, which can get resource-intensive, although never as bad as with Iray. In the video below, he's got a key, a backlight, and an eyelight, plus an emissive just for him, for the "red alert" effect, that had to be keyed to get the on/off look. And I used a point light keyed the same for the wall. 

Lastly, be sure your GI anchor is near the focus character's chest/face. That will drastically change your lighting--especially bounce and emissives, so set that up early, because if you don't you might end up with everything suddenly 60 times brighter than you thought. I get it in place early, then link it, if the character is going to move around. And my voxels are set as high as I can get them.

Hope that helps and sorry for the delay in responding.
:-)
Nicole
