Ola Derryl, Some HDRI Tutorials :) http://www.eias3d.com/category/video-tutorials/render/page/2/ Thanks Tom

Ola, “Hello all. As requested, I'm showing here my completely unsuccessful attempt at creating dewdrops in EI, using the Dew shader.” Lets see if I can help :) “I spent days of my own time on time (because we didn't want to bill the client for my experimentation) and ultimately went with a fake I created using a photograph of actual dew. None of the 3D versions passed muster with the art directors citing that it wasn't natural enough.” Yeah, it happens all the day time these days :) ”I counted about 150 test renders I did over that time and spreadsheet with every tweak of the settings within the plugin as well as for transparency and reflectivity, etc settings for the material itself. The render you see has two sets of cartons with different dew settings to get both the small and larger drops.” Ok, I just saw all the renders. “I usually persevere in EI and produce something everyone is happy with but this time I had met my match. Among the many things I learned was that object scale matters a lot (for the displacement settings on this plugin, anyway)” If I remember well, the sub-division of the model is important too. “I'm including one of the better renders, a render that's very spikey before I figured out the scaling issue but amusing nonetheless, and the eventual one I ended up using with fake dewdrops. I was still able to use the 3D minus any dew effect.” I will play with Dew again.. lets see what I can do. “If anyone's got some magic formula or great tool to more easily arrive at the look I got in the faked version, I'm all ears (and eyes). Thanks for looking!” Even using real drops in the 3D package, I loved the final result.!! This is an old EIAS render, when I discovered How to “spike” the drops, I found a way to fake “ice” :) Thanks Tom

Ola, Me too :) Thanks Tom

Ola Derryl! Its a Bug, take a look: http://www.eias3d.com/forums/tracker/issues.php?issue=4 Thanks Tom

Ola Derryl, Great work!! I did this Honeybee to a TV advertising a few years ago, I used a Illuminator in that time to make a nice and rich shade in the body and fur, now you could play with a .hdri light and .hdri reflection :) Hope that helps. Thanks Tom

Ola Manarq, Keep me informed!! Some related info about Windows install: http://www.eias3d.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=386&highlight=Dongle+Driver http://www.safenet-inc.com/support-downloads/sentinel-drivers/ “Click Here for the latest Sentinel Driver.” have the 7.6.7 version. Thanks Tom

Ola Manarq, Did you use the latest EIAS 8 installer from our website? with the EIAS3D Splash screen? If Im not wrong have a new dongle installer there. Thanks Tom

Ola Rich, Better and Better! Are you using the “Block Distance” feature? Thanks Tom

Ola Manar, Do you have the DUO dongle? Thanks Tom

Ola Richard, I didnt receive any info from them about this, Did you pay them? Did you receive any Invoice about this with the new dongle number? I can try to search it. Sorry to hear about this. Thanks Tom

Ola Eric, Thanks a lot for your answer :) Tom

Hey Victor!!! Really nice one :) Lots of work too, congrats my friend. Tom

Ola Yon, Lets solve this using SKype.. :) Thanks Tom

Ola Frank! Its really well done by the way :) Thanks!! Tom

Ola, My tests so far only showed a “cosmetic” issue on EIAS 9 Interface :) Thanks Tom

Ola Scott, Nice step by Step, You start telling the Tutorial will show the software used, you tell About Particle Illusion System, Maya Paint Effects..I thought you would point EI in the 3D small text letters as you pointed Maya Paint Effects, otherwise, who will know about EIAS? :) Thanks Tom

Ola Mark, Welcome back :) Thanks Tom

Ola Kbartlez, We will be waiting :) Thanks Tom

Hey Kbartlez, Post your render, doubts and projects, we can help you solving it :) Thanks a lot Tom
