My first render with the Mule Deer

The hunter

 

[DanaTA]

Excellent!

here we go final render. All deer and antler maps heavily adjusted to get the look I wanted. Push the GPU to the limit, just under 11gb of VRAM 2 hours to render. No postwork. All Iray.

Stunning!! Is that a HDRi image in the background, or a 3D scene set?

 

[Szark]

Trees and everything forward those are all props, background 16K HDRI with the render settings for the quality of the light set to 2048 (I think default is 512)

 

[Miss B]

OK, and I'm assuming it's a HDRi for use specifically with DS, not Poser.

 

[Szark]

Nope HDRI Haven. I don't go anywhere else for HDRI's these days. I am assuming Poser isn't stuck in the Spherical IBL days.

 

[Miss B]

Oh great, I go there too. I like that site, as they have a great selection. One of my fave goodies for Poser is Snarly Gribbly's EZDome, which uses two of Bagginsbill's EnvSphere, and Snarly did a real nice job of making the setting up of a HDRi fairly easy. He has a tutorial that shows you step by step how to do it. Unfortunately, with the new Poser 12, they've updated their Python scripting to a newer version, so I have no idea if any of my script goodies are going to work anymore. ~shrugs~

 

[Szark]

I don't have a fav but for this image I used whipple_creek_regional_park_04_16k. Yeah he is very good and now makes a little money from it too.

That's the only trouble with add-ons etc. I like how DS has it's own hair, for Iray and 3DL and not having to rely on an external developer.

 

[Miss B]

Yes, I would like one day to learn how to use Poser's Hair Room, but for now it's just not in my workflow. These day's I spend more time in Blender than Poser, but I haven't conquered Blender's Hair either. I'm just happy at this point I can use Cycles (Blender) and Superfly (Poser). It took me quite a while to get used to them, but I'm a lot more comfortable with them now.

Ohhhh, I just checked my collection from HDRi Haven, and I have that HDRi. Now I'm definitely going to have to play with it.

This is epic. Beautiful render.

Thank you

I feel it's a bit dark, but the trees cut out my light.

 

[Szark]

nice water detail there around the legs, so many forget these details. What render engine did you use. If Iray you can add more light by messing with tone mapping (Render settings) or by increasing the Environment light intensity.

 

[Phoenix]

It is Daz iray. I will have to try that! Because lighting has been one of my biggest challenges. I'm self taught so, ty so much for advice!

 

[Szark]

When it comes to Daz Studio most of us are self taught given the lack of a proper manual. LOL Just shout if you need more help with that

 

[Phoenix]

Oh wow, environment intensity works like a charm!

I played around with a bunch of the render settings, also trying to minimize noise. But something I did also made this render take 14 hours.... Might hit the default button for the next render....
