Thanks so much!
So wicked cool. Love it.
Nearly missed that you updated your original post. Really love the clouds. My personal favourite is the 3rd one down.
Intermediate Challenge - The Arrival
Composed and rendered in DAZ Studio.
Comments would be appreciated.
Shack
Lots of interesting renders!!
perlk - your updates to Fantasy Fire Hazard really made a difference. Very dramatic and slightly eerie render. Nicely done!
This entry is a journey into color and dreamy aesthetics. I focused on composition in how I brought all the elements together and the heavy application of DOF, instancing and duplication (with all the flowers and the glowing spheres everywhere), and light and lighting effects (combining hdri, spotlights, and those small emissive spheres scattered around the character). Postwork in Photoshop was to mainly denoise and soften my grainy CPU render.

I didn't get the chance to work on posing last month even though I really wanted to learn more about it, so maybe I'll save that for my second entry if I have time.
Thank you so much!
LOVE. The colors are so spring like. The shine on her eyes and lips is great. Very realistic.

Made use of instances for the figures in the background, and tried out some volumetrics. Feedback appreciated!

Challenge: Intermediate
Made use of duplication and posing for this one. Feedback as always, appreciated!
Don't delete the attachment, the inline image is pointing to it.
good fabrik
very realistic
I didn't delete the attachment, not sure why it deleted itself. :/ I added it back in. Thanks for the heads about it
Thank you! It was a freebie backdrop image and it turned out nicely :)
It may have been doing two posts in succession - the attachment stays attached to the message box until you close or refresh the page, so the image for the second post might well have removed it.
Title: In Heaven somehow
Caption: A mistake was made and these women ended up in heaven somehow...
Software: Daz 3D
Challenge: Intermediate
I wanted to show how a very simple HDRI can be better for an already complicated scene.
I'm usually a realistic lighting type so this was out of my comfort zone. Feedback is always, appreciated!
@PedroFurtadoArts Here is my negative review: Wow! :)
Great skin! especially the lighter one, it's quite eye catching. I see you added some hair highlights too in postwork.
Thank you, It's a skin for the g8f I'm trying to transform it to the g8.1f but it's quite difficult and also doesn't look as realistic
@PedroFurtadoArts I think I wrote a guide under how to transform Iray to PBR skin (unless you are trying to convert the textures too).
Basically, after you have applied the Iray skin of your choice,
1) load any 8.1 skin (I usually go for Victoria 8.1, but you can choose any other 8.1 Pro character) but instead of double clicking, you need to CTRL + ALT + Double click on the PBR skin to load. This will open a pop-up window (Material Preset Option), and choose Images > Ignore (to not replace textures).
2) Then, in the surfaces you need to type UV and change it back to Base Famale. Done! [You might need to adjust for the skin tone]
3) NOTE: For rendering, PBR skin best works with Spectral Rendering (Natural, 1964).
Cat Nap
2nd Entry for Intermediate
Feedback welcome!
Cute! : )
I focused heavily on composition with this entry as I was inspired to create a detailed fairytale-like render. Instancing was very useful here for the plants and butterflies. Postwork in Photoshop included softening the render, adjusting color balance, and using some brushes to bring in the sparkles for a magical feel.
The character here is Serene, AOBB's lovely G8.1F face morph that she's provided as a freebie at https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/562291/aobb-s-head-morph-serene-for-g8-1f-no-materials-or-textures-included
Serene in the Garden (2nd Entry, Intermediate, Daz Iray)
@PedroFurtadoArts : that's gorgeous and beautiful
Ok, time for Entry #2 for the April challenge. Rendered in DAZ studio 4.20 with Iray.
SPRING JOY
@SapphireBlue @Daedalus-7 Love both those pieces of work. Such a great Spring feel to them both. Love the colours and lighting.
Mercy On The Roof
Intermediate Entry 2
Same character. Different Cyber setting. Again, thoughts very much appreciated. Trying to get those creative juices going.
Thank you!
