Guilty Pleasure...

yaya, shadows lights and shaders! :lol We are making progress! ;)

I dont usually bother defringing, most of the time I have my own backgrounds in or else just use a dark color as a backdrop, I can explain how to adjust that tonight. Ill show you how to pose her eyes too so you can have her head facing one way but looking at the camera or in another direction or something if you like.

Hehe you really didnt need to use a premade background.. sometimes they can be awesome (Eve's :p) but something like this one and the one you used yesterday is just something someone made using freebies or PC items and rendered with subpar lighting. Youre really better off tossing your own props in there. This bg prop, or most of it, comes from Aery Soul in her freebies section I believe.

Its looking good, youre definately getting better and learning, thats awesome! :)!

well if you dont want to fart iwht it you can just render of black color helps when putting it over dark backgrounds or just plain.
what program are you using for your postwork?
Good render getting better! :D keep it up!

I changed my background to black in DAZ when working and rendering cos I also haven't figured out how to defringe lol.

I like the concept of the piece. :thumbsup The lighting doesn't match the girl; did you burn her a little in photoshop? Painting in hair falling in between the spikes would make it more realistic, but hell I can't even do that. Durn freehanders!

I wish I knew daz shadows, that seems to be the hardest thing to get down when handling poser/daz in the beginning.

yeah you can tell from your first one you where able to get rid of that yucky light matting, works much better eh? )
Hair betwen the spike would be good! if you have hair brushes use them and erase around where the spikes are? hehe Shadows are pita in DS.. well to me atleast hehe

pfft they arent *that* bad hehe, well, Im not speaking for Advanced though.. havent gotten to try that yet ><
