[META] FenWiki "update and nags to update" thread

Yes, blackaeronaut is right... I cannot put my finger on it exactly, but it somehow looks "strange"...
Maybe because the face is too well rendered compared to the hairs, I don't know.

Those hairs are textured individually - that's the best hairdo I have in my collection.

I think I've hit the limits of the rendering software that comes with DAZ 3. Time to upgrade... luckily, DAZ 4 is free at the moment.

Oh, something else... I started experimenting with Blender, does someone has a good resource for materials and textures?

After some tutorials I started creating a mesh for Dartz 'Destiny Nova', but without the right materials and textures it looks boring.
(you will find my current experiment here: %[link=http://hrogge.de/blender/Nova%203.png]http://hrogge.de/blender/Nova%203.png])

ShareCG has some textures for use in any 3D modeling program. http://www.sharecg.com/b/6/Textures]5,576 of them, as of this posting... And they have 100 (as of this posting) http://www.sharecg.com/b/5/3D-Models/?k ... tdm=a&s=dd]ready-made Blender models, too. (They have a "Materials" section as well, but it's a mess - very little is categorized properly, and Blender isn't one of the categories in the first place.)

You might try http://matrep.parastudios.de/]this site for Blender materials - I found it on a web search, so I don't know how good or bad it is.
