    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? )

     

    Did you create the textures yourself? In the hardwood trail product description I could not see that it included autumn textures.

    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.

    Sven is looking good.  I love the results you got with the skin.  I have been playing with trying to get better results with skin for a about a year and to say, my results have been mediocre at best.  Even with several additional products purchased to for better skin and looking through the forums for tools and tips.  Is the vascularity done in post or something else?

    I played around with skin settings, sorry I don't remember what I did exactly, a bunch of tweaks, BUT to really bring it out, here's a little trick. Download the free app Snapseed on your phone or tablet. Open your render in the app. (I save all renders in Dropbox to make it easy to open from any device/computer.) Under tools go to "detail" and play with the dials and instant detailed skin! That one dial makes every skin you own pop! laugh

    Thanks and much appreciate the tip.  Downloaded the app and will give it a go and see what happens.

    I am working on a scene where the female is nude, but the camera angle is such that it shows her back and a side angle of her breast (no nipple area is visible).  I have attached the image, with the skin textures removed and a white clay applied.  To compare the amount of exposure on the breast area, I have attached another image, a bit different angle, but with about the same amount of exposed cleavage and the figure is clothed with an outfit purchased in the store.  I looked through the gallery and images (here, here, here and here) that show different degrees of exposed breast area.

    The Acceptable Ways of Handling Nudity forum note from @RichardHaseltine, states If your image shows the genitals, pubic area, anus or major part of the buttocks of your figure or the nipples and major part of the breasts of a female figure, and if it's essentially skin-coloured (or has pubic hair over genitals) - we aren't worried about figures made into scaled, feathered or furred monsters as long as they don't have visible genital organs or nipples - then there must be opaque clothing of some kind over the area, or it must be screened by solid scenery and props in the scene: bars, emoticons, chickens and cats that are extraneous to the image aren't enough (and frequently look silly, even where the image is otherwise serious).

    The TOS under the Gallery and Posted Image Conduct item 1 states "Images may not show genitals, or the bare groin or buttocks, of humanoid figures. Images of female humanoids may not show the breasts and under item 5 that Daz3D may remove any image for any reason. 

    I am looking for guidance from the forum moderators to see if my proposed image (clay) will not meet the required TOS for posting.  I am under the assumption that the clothed image version is acceptable.

    Thank you in advance for your insight and guidance.

    If you would like, please feel free to e-mail me [email protected] and show me the image with textures on and I would be better able to assist you in whether it is within the TOS and if not, how to get it within the TOS. Generally it can depend on a fair few variables like how low down it will be cropped, what is visible on the textures themselves from that angle, the look (as far as age) of the figure/textures combined etc.

    Thanks,  @Midnight_stories -- those Universe Explorer suits are exquisitely detailed:  the first really plausible space suits I've encountered in the DAZ store, so I had to get them.

    The fire/orange is actually a fire/smoke prop from Iray Fireworx , rotated to the horizontal and scaled down to fit the oddball prop I cobbled together for Gully to ride.
