I hear your thunder calling, from a distant sky I want to feel I've known this, for 1000 lives.... When the heavens are falling, And I see the light Taken from my slumber, Bring me back to life. I see lightning when I look in your eyes, It covers me when there's no where to hide, and it pulls me into your untamed sky. -Digital Daggers- Harness the awesome power, heavenly electrostatic charge, and ravishing passion of a spring lightning storm in your renders and let your garden become thunderstruck! Passion is ambition that is materialized into action, to put as much heart, mind, body, and soul into something as is possible. Passion Storm textures can super charge your renders like a lighting strike, and electrify your creative spirit to chase the lightning across the canvas. These textures use a nicely blended storm color palette in magentas and cloudy sky blues, with a minimal hint of reddish purple to blue undertones that can be used to create a highly detailed style in your renders. They look fabulous paired with Dark Embrace and Gothic texture sets. Included are three new tulip textures, one stamen texture, two leaf textures, and a parrot-fanged tulip variety petal shape transmap, along with bump, displacement, & specular mapping created from high quality photo materials. Presets are included for DAZ Studio Iray & 3DL, and Poser Superfly (requires Poser 11+) & Firefly render engines. What's Included & Features Materials (.mc6, .duf)) All options available for DAZ Studio Iray & 3DL, and Poser Superfly (requires Poser 11+) & Firefly render engines Petal Materials Decadence (Magenta, Dark Magenta, and White) Desire (Dark Purplish Magenta with Lavender) Passionately (Bright Magenta with Dark Magenta Undertones) 2 Leaf and Stem options Textures (.jpg) 3 1024 X 1024 Pixel Petal Maps 1 1024 X 1024 Pixel Stamen Map 2 1024 X 1024 Pixel Leaf and Stem Maps 1 1024 x 1024 Pixel Petal Transmap with Parrot-Fanged Tulip Petal Shape Poser Users - if some strange shadows appear on the petals using some lights, dial down the bump setting to zero, or unplug the bump map. This should correct the issue. There are three arrangements of leaves and stems for the models in the tulip set, and I have provided material settings for each of the three types. The inner leaf and stem materials should be applied to tulip models 02, 03, and 04, the leaves and stem materials should be applied to models 01, 05, 06, 07 and 08, and the leaves only materials should be applied to LB_TulipLeaves01 and LB_TulipLeaves02 models. Petal materials with DF in the name should be used with model 06, the double flower buds. If the flowers have dark centers, try tilting the prop slightly towards the light source. DAZ Studio Users - The leaf materials and flower materials will load fine on all three model types: inner leaf and stem, inner and outer leaves and stems, or leaves only. Just click the icons to apply the materials. Tips for Product Use: For best detail results in renders, use Subdivision settings for Poser and Daz Studio. Poser - Subdivision (requires Poser 10+) 1.

Slide the Render and Preview bars to 1 or 2. You might try experimenting to see which you like best Daz Studio - SubDivision Make sure proper materials are assigned for Iray or 3Delight before rendering. 1.
