Nope, will not. I’ve watched you grow up as an artist. I think I’ll stick around even when you get a little down.

Just a quicky :D

Pretty good for just a quickie! Well gone… I love the purple atmosphere and the focusing!

Thanks, the purple colour comes from a pre-set light setting in Reality. Im still unsure if it should have been rendered longer, some times I cant tell the difference between render noise and DOF blur.

Hi Michael_G, I have just looked at your entire thread and I’m really impressed. I can certainly see the improvement in your renders, with composition, texture choices and with lighting. One of my favorites is your The West Park Morgue with the light streaming onto the dead girl. I’m with Spyro on this last image, great use of D.O.F. how long did it take to render?

Why thank you michael :D to be honest I cant remember how long it took, more than likely at least 20 hours or more, there’s no DOF on the camera at all.

Knocked this up quick during a boredom moment.

Due to the stupid rules on nudity here I can only post a link to my latest render. :(

Little bit of story to this one, this started out as a model posing on a black grand piano in front of a white screen, I went through numerous texture files trying to find the right wood for the piano but couldn’t find a decent sized file that looked ok, so I decided to experiment with Reality’s material options and discovered this little gem.

Re-did one of my first DAZ renders, made a lot of changes for it to work in LUX, new pose, new material settings.

Just a simple one this time showing the beauty that is the female of the species. Had to correct an awful mistake in the bay window prop that didn’t show up until a significant amount of pixel samples, if look closely you will be able to see it.

Decided to try my hand at texture colouring and this is the result.

V4 Sweet Wendy
Forest princes hair

Her lips and eyes are have been re-coloured using PS CS6, loaded in the textures and used the colour replace tool.

Rendered to 4.21k samples in LUX v1.1, a little over 9 hours.
