New User's Contest - November 2016


Sponsored by DAZ 3D  

Are you new to the 3D World? Are you at the beginning stages of learning 3D rendering? Have you been around

for a little bit but feel you could benefit from some feedback or instruction? Have you been around awhile

and would like to help other members start their creative journey? Well then come and join the fun as we

host our newest contest...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

"Materials"

This month, our attention will be on 'Materials'. When working on your submissions, if you would like to get feedback as you work or before posting your final image, please post your image to the WIP THREAD. People will be popping in to the WIP THREAD to give you some critique and advice on your entry and help along the way.

Please keep all comments on entries etc to the WIP THREAD as well because comments or requests for help/feedback/advice will be removed from the contest thread and merged into the WIP THREAD. This thread is only for posting final contest submissions.

For those veterans of the forums that would like to help, because this contest is designed for the beginner to learn from, we will be randomly selecting posts offering helpful tips and/or critiques to receive a special voucher as well so, whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, there is fun for everyone!

    Frozen Sister - Iray

    The frozen girl and her hair have Frozen Sisters Shaders applied one for the body and a different one for the hair.  The snowflake patterns on the face and breast of the other girl were applied directly to the templates using photoshop.  Changed the materials on the cape using DG's fur and leather shaders.  Changed the unfrozen sister's eyes using the templates as well and not a shader.  Applied an HDRI image to the sky.  Also changed severeal settings on the hair to make it more black, it was rendering more in the grey than the black tones.

  • Here is my first ever entry, I've been learning Daz for a little over a year now.  This scene required a lot of materials work, including remastering a city set by Stonemason with updated Iray materials, particularly the emissive channels.  Also did a lot of other tweaks.  There is some very slight postwork, bluring out some hard edges and correcting some artifacts.
