    "I Can Explain":

    Gallery Link

    I can't take credit for the idea, as it's me making a render of a sketch by Stjepan Sejic, but quite fun to work on nonetheless.

    The costume is a modified G8F mesh (with a dash of Dforce elasticity applied); I found a Spiderman model on DeviantArt and baked the textures across via Blender. The original normal maps had to be discarded, but the original specularity map could be turned into a surprisingly good displacement map.

    Bravo!  That looks great!

    This is a render of a work in progress on a character I'm trying to create.  I'm just doing some morph-dialing to try to get this character to look like one of my favorite actresses:

    Great lighting and DOF. Nice looking character also.

    This one is an experiment with Iray Grungeworks. I created the foxhole by morphing  a plane primitive with 256 divisions using Mesh Grabber, then texturing with dirt shaders.

    Title:   One Lonely Foxhole

    Very cool!

    Here is Dain at 50% with a bunch of different morphs and some skin setting changes. To me he looks like his name should be Sven lol.

    A Boy and his Saur!

    That's absolutely the tops !   What a great-looking environment and soft, believable lighting...

     

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,087

    The environment is https://www.daz3d.com/the-harpwood-trail-for-daz-studio , the lighting is one of Orestes many HDRIs; huge fan of those for creating a nice, believable sky.

    One thing I like about a solid HDRI and environment is trusting softer lighting; portrait lighting tends to go for dramatic contrasts but believable environments are frequently MUCH more diffuse. And then there's a trick, because you still want definition from the lighting...

    I'm also trying to learn to have better camera settings, and starting to look to real world camera lenses for direction. I think here I went 35 mm for focus and the adjusted the width a bit. I did several different focal distances before I was happy (focus on the boy? In between? The tail? )

    The Harpwood Trail's now on my list.  I agree about the HDRI environment lighting.  I've got several of the Orestes sets and they're great.

    The lighting may be great but the skies themselves usually suffer from compression artifacts unfortunately.  Seems to be a common problem with HDRIs sold or included with products at DAZ, probably because of people not using top quality cameras.  I always return them with "poor quality" as reason, if they have this problem.  Here's an example of a bad one from Dreamlight, and a high quality one made by DimensionTheory (all those I have of his look great).

    Ok, that's interesting.  The link you provided sent me down a rabbit hole of learning about HDRI creation.  It's much more involved than I knew.

    This link at HdriHaven really goes into detail and discusses a number of tools the author uses to create "real"  HDRIs.

    From my own experience, I haven't encountered the JPEG artifacts you mention, but most of the time my skies/backgrounds are out of focus in the render or barely visible past scene elements.  It's possible I'd never notice them.

    Title:  The Tourist

    For this one, I used Stonemason's The Streets of Tuscany lit by an HDRI dome by DimensionTheory: City A.  Fill on the left from an HDR image on a plane primitive.  The character is a slightly tweaked Katya HD from Emrys.
