I hope you have fun with rendering her! I think you will - she's a joy to render and such a gorgeous character!
It's hard to stop rendering her, but I so need to get some work done. lol
Thank you for the sweet comment about my avy and renders. "Sunny inner spirit" sounds like a pretty good description for what I often strive for. :) That put a big smile on my face!
Nevermind. Deleted by me.
This is gorgeous Mike. Is this the base character or did you do your usual tweets?
Thanks, yeah a few tweaks, new eyes, make her a little thinner, adjusted the breasts a little, face a little less round and younger and added nails.
I was on the fence about getting her after seeing another artist (NikitaHedon) with some nude images or her at DA and then you pushed me the rest of the way,l LOL
Thanks so much, It's part of this set https://www.daz3d.com/classic-biker-gear-for-genesis-8-females
I was going to wait, but I decided to jump on the Kala bandwagon. However, I did spot something. For one, her hands are indeed dry looking. The bump maps are cranked all the way to 4. The normal maps contribute a bit, bit to this, but its mostly the bump maps causing this. Also, there is a seam between the arm and torso UVs in the bump maps. Basically the torso is too coarse compaired to the arm, and if you look, especially at the default setting, you will notice it. For this image, I turned down the bump to 2, and set normals to 0.6. I lowered the translucency a bit. The missmatch on the bumps is less visible, but it is still there if you zoom, and webp doesnt compress the crap out of it. I uploaded a render with all default settings, and it is much more clear.
Another portrait, this time she's a little happier. I like what Kala brings to the table!
Stunning! what lighting did you use?
That's a fantastic portrait! Great smile!
A quick Priya out of the box as my first Kala render.
But wow, Gogger your portrait is lovely. I love the expression and angle you chose.
Thanks, it is the BOSS Lighting sold here in the DAZ Store. AWESOME light set - worth every penny and then some,
not only for the results, but also the versatility.

Thanks Divamakep! The smile is a mix of a couple, Sahel, Carmen and just a little custom tweaking. I like Sahel the most because the smile is a whole face smile, not just the lips.
This is Ara for Kala 8, lighting is Boss lights, mix of dial spinning for expression
just wanting to make a proof. ;P
Updated: This render is 35% converged with 3860 iterations at 2200 x 1800px. Just enough when you zoom in you can see how Rana is rolling her eyes at her two sisters. Image is also reformatted to jpg at 80% quality to get down to a smaller filesize.
Title: East Indian Kala Sisters Breaking the Trad-Mold & 2 Playing Silly
(L-R) Lali, Kala & Rana (other than skin translucency changes, all figure options are "straight out of the box".)
PS. Don't mind the semi-levitating Liquer "flask". Probably Genies around.
Thanks so much! In the cart and bought already. Great outfit!
Srsly, awesome portrait. It's really gripping in every aspect. Really enjoyed it. More? LOL
Finished this last night, Lali out of the box in an outfit that came in her probundle. I like all of the texture options that came with it.
On another note; There have been some great renders using BOSS light, so I looked to put it in my wish list. It's on sale today for $8.73 so I'm going ahead an picking it up. I'm nervous it's going to slow down my rendering time. But if nothing else the PDF explaining light set up and the different kinds that comes with the set looks to be well worth the $8. Looking forward to improving my lighting knowledge and finally gain some skills
This is Ara for Kala 8, lighting is Boss lights
Great picture, I really liked that outfit that came in the bundle. Just an idea of how long my render using BOSS lights took, I used the dramatic preset and myrender time was approx 35 minutes with the longest taking during the last 6 % of the render. Keep in mind I don't have a great graphics card , it is an nvidea EVGA 970 with 4 mb of ram. Its certainly not new but it does ok, I didn't think the time was bad at all but hopefully will be getting more robust video card in the near future.
Last Kala render from me for a little while - I have yard work to get done! <LOL>
Just trying something different than my last two. Here she is wearing Salome by Val3dArt and the background is Fabiana's amazing AlterZen, both at Rdo. Again, I've used BOSS Pro Lighting from DAZ Studio.
A note about BOSS Pro - it might seem a little confusing to use at first, but trust me, it is really very simple once you wrap your head around it and the results are just stunning. As for render times, I know there is truth to "the more lights you have the longer the render", but there is a sweet spot where it is also true that not having enough light negatively affects your render time, the quality of the render, and if the 'reason to render' is to get a good image you need some light! Go BOSS Pro, just do it! You won't be sorry! <LOL>
Thank you Kharma for the information. I just went for it on this first picture without reading the instructions first. I used a render setting from another product with the lights and the render timed out at 89% after 2 hours. So after reviewing the instructions and using the cameras and render settings that comes with BOSS lights I think it will completly render without any problems.
This one is Lole with her makeup on. Using a pose from the pro bundle, but the facial expression is Nazar.
I seen people mentioning the zoro_d bend morphs and peach fuzz hair but I can't find them. Can anyone tell me where to get them?
Thanks.
I don't know about Zoro_d, but here's a link to the peach fuzz hair. https://www.daz3d.com/peach-fuzz-facial-vellus-hair-for-genesis-3-female-s
Good googity woogity! This was the first thing I saw upon opening this thread. Great job, Michael!
Looks like the $90 free DO items are experiencing very few decreases in discounts.
One of the best G8F models in my opinion :)
Yes, she is pretty.
Thanks Max!
I was just watching Dhoom 2 and thought about trying to make a scene with her, LOL
Finished the Proof of concept started & posted several posts above.
From the Kala Pro Bundle (L-R): Lali & Kala & Rana
Felt should improve Lali & Rana skin. Those two looked a bit too painterly and not alive enough. Tweaked skin a bit & replaced quick lighting with something a bit more custom for the girls.
62% Converged. 2560x1440p.
Really are beautiful characters.
Looks good, even with the default expression.
I've trawled, without success, looking for the outfit in the Lakhi main promo...help?
bacause it is kitbashed. the jewelry is from salome II https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/salome-ii-for-genesis-8-female/126560/
can't help with the rest, although I have seen the top before.
Here's another render I did of Kala 8 in my Cyber Nights series.
