I just looked through some of my old DS renders, some were ok, and some were plain eek! I don’t think I ever truly mastered lighting in DS the way I have in Poser. Still, that’s not to say it can’t be done though!

We’ll see…..

CHEERS!

The new Victoria 5 Nichole looks really great.

Yeah, it does look nice, but, I don’t see much difference between that and Amy.

I’ve now got DS back and will master that and post my resulting renders here.

CHEERS!

I’ve bought Nichole for $6.58 (by applying Platinum Club monthly coupon) and I think she is cute, as well.

Ah, she looks better there,

So, what’s the recipe for this render, now I have the cooker so to speak I might be able to buy the relevant ingredients!

CHEERS!

great expression love the look.

only one very minor critique, the hat looks like a black blob around her head, is there some way you could give it just a touch of detail?

That might spoil the lighting on her face.

CHEERS!

Thanks. I’ve just forgotten to apply some better material to the hat.

Thanks, Rogerbee. Ok, so here comes ingredients:
From Victoria 5 Pro Bundle:
- Victoria 5 Supermodel
- Expressive for Genesis (for expression)
Victoria 5 Elite Texture Nichole
Pure Hair Lovely
Flower Power clothes
Background prop from InaneGlory’s Photo Studio 3
DAZ Dimension Lights 1 preset 1.
I activated a depth of field (DOF) to the camera in Daz Studio.
Wish it will be so easy to use DOF in Poser as it is in Daz Studio.
I also attach a picture with the render settings used.

One more render of Victoria 5 Nichole with different hat materials.

oh that looks awesome

Thanks a lot, Rareth. Glad you like it.

LOL the notification fairy has gone on holiday again!

Artini, thank you so much for all that info. The render settings were something I was about to ask you about. Are those settings good for reflections? If they are I’ll save them as my default.

The render looks so much better with the other hat material on it.

I will, or should I say MUST get round to making use of what I’m learning

CHEERS!

CHEERS!

Max Ray Trace depth on those settings will give the reflections I believe..

here we go from Max Ray Trace depth of 0 to 3 in the pictures below
