Secondary Render, Post Photoshop…I decreased the exposure, and enhanced her skin detail.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
FE Teddy Hair
MK Ruffled Knit Dress
HDRI and Daz Lighting
Infinity CoveEnvironment
Background

In Summary:

  • I start out with a model template and morph the body physically.
  • I put the body into a position, change facial expressions, add makeup, dress the model, add skin texture, props, etc…
  • I either can embed the character into the background or wrap the environment around the character, then add lighting and camera settings, like depth of field.
  • Rendering times can take 2 to 6 hours per render.
  • Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
