Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop Genesis 9 Female Template GR Battle Gear and sword Mega Updo 3 Hair Infinity Cove Environment G9 Full Adventure and Battle Blood Shell SY Confetti Ceiling Daz3d and HDRI Lighting
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 was about 14 hours.
- Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)
Stay frosty people.
