Thanks! Yeah, all my old Poser stuff has been rendering really well!

Thanks!

Sweet! I tend to be more short story driven with my renders and right now the lighting just isn't consistent enough. Really hoping I can start using Aire through the actual Iray preview screen in the hopes of getting more consistent lighting like I do using pre rendered images through the back ground. It would save me a bunch of time going that route vs. rendering and plugging them all into the background panel.

Awesome stuff, dirtrider. And awesome to hear, Dreamlight! (I'm salivating over the Iray option, too. Ha.)

Thanks! Yeah, alot of the iray shaders render just fine, but I've noticed transparencies, metals, glass, and liquids seem to be the real culprit. Some makeups don't render that well either and I'm hoping iray shaders will get it so I don't have to prompt blonde hair and blue eyes.

The biggest problem I've noticed when building my scenes, and I don't think it's a Aire problem, is that the AI seems to want to build behind the camera and add random shadows on outdoor scenes. Another question I have is if Aire sends the entire scenes info to the AI or just whats framed through the camera? I had some billboard tree lines surrounding a house and I was getting some big blocked shadows in areas that theoretically should have been lit.

As near as I can tell so far, the camera view is what gets rendered provided there is scene material. When I've started with just a figure and an outfit the AI will get really creative, depending on the style choice. For example if you choose morning light or summer vibe with just the model, you'll almost always get an outdoor background. Th AI will also get pretty creative with the distance between the camera and the model.

I've noticed that with the framing myself which can get frustrating. I don't actually get the framing issue when I plug a pre rendered image into the background. My impression is the AI is seeing my non iray rendered scenes as prompts and my pre rendered scenes as actual photos if that makes sense.

Thanks! I still need alot of work on my prompts but I've at least found one that lets me switch the lighting around a bit.

Do tell. Mind sharing?

light comes from left side, light comes from right side, sunlight comes from left side, sunlight comes from right side,

Never had any luck when I originally was basing direction based off the camera. Sadly it doesn't seem to work if you add something like front right or simply just front. It does seem to be based off of my character in the scene and sometimes when I'm not getting the proper direction a simple nudge of the camera seems to correct it.

Thanks. I used similar ones but yours are more specific. I'm coming to understand vert specific prompts give more consistent and desirable results.
