I Just Wanted to Post an Image Thread

[jvrenderer]

She's gorgeous JV. I don't think I've ever done such a closeup for a final render. Well done sir!

Thank you. I had to subdivide the figure to level 5 to show the close-up details (pores, wrinkles, blemishes)

She is beautiful and the hair is stunning.

Thank you!

Yes indeed. There's a distinctly Fabiana look to the lighting.

Thank you JOdel, I don't use premade light sets. I've used 5 light sources for this render, 3 spot lights (Key, Fill, and Rim), 1 HDRi as ambient (you can see the HDRi reflected in the eyes) and a emissive plane in front to diffuse the shadows. I learned the studio lighting by watching a lot of photographic lighting tutorials on Youtube.

A quick n dirty render with a cyberpunk vibe featureing Afrodite-Ahki debute to Daz Studio with her Adedayo Hair.

Basic 3 point light setup. I slightly tinted the key aqua, the fill pink, the Rim purple. The HDRi is a cyberpunk background

How wacky is this!

and you'll find the wacky ball and wacky racket in the zip file over yonder in the wacky modeling thread for you to experiment and texture with

I haven't used Carrara in years. I wonder if I could figure out how to do it in Blender from your tutorial. Hmmmm . . . ~scratches head wondering~

 

[JOdel]

Thanks! I do a lot of fighting with the lighting.

There are plenty of good 3DL lighting sets out there. But a lot of them are designed for portraits, which I don't actually deal with very often. My base lighting for an illo is generally something from Khory's Caressed by Light 2 set. I also add linear point lights at light sources in the scene like lamps and fireplaces.

I do often use one of Flipmode's Easy Environment Poser light sets for work lights while setting things up. Sometimes I leave the sun light from that in place for the shadows. But I don't think I did that with this one.

And I do adjust things in post, although i have to be careful not to blow out the highlights any more than unavoidable.

 

[Gisela]

It is nice. I also do post work on my renders. I don't think is a bad thing doing post work like some people think.

 

[JOdel]

It is a point of pride when you do manage to get everything in render. but there's no shame in adjusting the curves or layers or exposure. People might as well sneer at needing to resize things.

And some things need to be done in layers and composited in post just to get all of the characters into the scene.

Nicely done. I haven't loaded Carrara for years. But if I do, this looks like a good basic starting point to do a tennis ball.

Thanks for sharing.

probably, I reckon the basics would be somewhat similar and Blender probably has more tools to get where you want to go.

one can never have too many balls ...

More Artifacts discovered.

 

[KageRyu]

I'm curious what set those Artifacts are from?

I was JUST going to ask the same thing.

 

[Hornet3d]

They are Sci-Fi artifacts 1 and 2 from Petipet over at Daz3D the one here is artifact 2. They are both designed to work with planet Edesa. I almost did not buy them as Poser is not listed in the list of compatible software but the 'What's Included Section' shows a CR2.

 

[Miss B]

Ahhhh, Petipet does nice work. I have quite a few of his things from back when I was a PC member.

I love Petipet content sadly one of the few vendors left that produce quality Sci-Fi content for Poser which is why I buy everything within days of it being released.

 

[KageRyu]

Ok, I haven't shopped there in over a decade. Does Petipet still support Poser with his products?

 

[Miss B]

I noticed the Artifacts 2 Hornet used states there are .CR2s, so yes, but the original Artifacts set only lists .DUF files, though at the bottom there's the line under Notes that states there's 1 Poser Core Installer, so not sure. Oh and Planet Edesa mentions .CR2 files as well, so I would assume he's still supporting Poser.

I've been re-working the materials of Stonemason's Urban Future sets for Superfly, and adding some parts. This is Urban Future 2:

The dolls are P3D's low res Lorenzo and Loretta, just there to give scale and some context.

Some really nice reworks.
