Not quite thrilled
11 years ago
So I have a list of issues I just Can't work around.
So for the time being, I'm going to set aside Reality 4
The two Biggest reasons I wanted Reality 4 was to Use normal Maps on top of Bump maps
While this isn't a major issue, it is more for quality of the Character models as matching Bump Settings.
merging the Bump maps to Normals leaves that lack of customization to raise or lower the skin bump value with
Interfering with the additions of the normal maps (tattoos and veins and such)
And SubSurface Scattering
which Doesn't work the way I need it too.
from what I can tell, for anything that is White in texture or color, just ends up with a Yellow Tint
For normal Skin color it doesn't to seem that bad, but it also seems to Rob alot of complexity in how I had used the textures though Reality 2.5
and how the texture editor now works, I haven't been able to change multiple surfaces color settings with how it works now
and copy and paste doesn't work unless you use Paste With Textures
Which pretty much Ruins that functionality altogether.
While the things I had to work around such as the "infinitesample', graph removal, and other manual edits
had been fixed that were already ease to manage
Reality 4 has adds nothing to my workflow.
So far I don't quite understand saving material settings for Reuse.
I'm worried that "automatic" presets will Automatically apply settings for one character On another that Does Not use the same material sets despite using the same skin textures.
I had liked saving settings based on character or situation such as Oily skin settings.
I May be looking at that wrong
But I don't want Automatic Anything, I want to be able to Use a preset when I ask for it.
I spent 6 hours trying to emulate my Reality 2.5 settings of a scene of Just Two characters posing nude
that I put together before I installed Reality 4 and have not achieved it
That alone is unacceptable.
Forget Improving on it at this point.
I'm glad to hear quite a few people are liking Reality 4, and I'm sure getting past a few hurdles I could too,
Just right now.
its been 6 hours of total frustration from the start

which I will continue to use till things are either stored out
I Could work more to emulate the settings, I just can't use SubSurface Scattering, which then Whats the point of buying Reality 4? right
