The Algorithm Bar

The Algorithm Bar – Cyberpunk Lounge Bar for Daz Studio

A timeless classic with a stylish edge, in a world of neon and chrome. Step into The Algorithm Bar, a neon-lit cyberpunk lounge built for intimate night scenes, noir storytelling and character portraits. Cyan and magenta light lines trace the ceiling and walls, a back-lit wall of bottles glows behind the counter, and a polished poured floor catches every reflection. The whole room is lit by its own emissive surfaces, so it renders moody out of the box with no extra lights required. For portraits, you may want to add a few character lights.

What's included

- 1 complete environment scene (load one file, everything is in place), with 6 cameras
- 2 Iray render settings presets: "Night" (the default, used for the promo images and applied automatically when the scene loads) and a brighter variant. Load either preset at any time to switch or restore the lighting.
- Every object is a separate node in one clean hierarchy, grouped logically (e.g. table → lamp → lampshade), so you can move, hide or replace anything. The front wall with the door can be hidden with a single node for camera shots into the room.
