    I really hate the nails....and WOW...the outside mountain HDRI scene from Dimension Theory really had him blown out.  Gonna have to figure something out.  Second is Ultra Genesis Studio HDRI.  Not doing the third, gonna just get things fixed. Impatient.

    How about Dimension Theory's Light Probes? They are very versatile and soft lighting, but can still give off a lot of light. I really like them.

    Nice find!  Thank you!

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,770

    You're welcome. They are my "go to" lights quite often, and they play very well with others. I used them on my Black Kat book cover.

    Sveva also has some fantastic lighting packages. My favorite is her Lumiere lights, which are on Rendo. I used those for a couple of Diesel's renders. 

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    I have one of Sveva's, which I'm using with the Ultra Genesis Studio Bokeh HDRI for a close up of the (hopefully) fixed nails; I'll post that up, too.  I do have the light probes, but they need to be mixed with other lighting to get better details and I was just testing the plain HDRI's. XD I use those too often.

    Nails are better-quick 10 minute render

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,770

    Nails look good and I like that pose. yes

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    I do too- doing an update with second circle lights and no HDRI-I think I got it fixed thanks to CC's (ChangelingChick) eye to detail. lol

    He is coming along good Darwin!!

  • firewardenfirewarden Posts: 1,459

    You guys drove up the price of the book. I'll wait until it comes back down. ;)

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    LOL- aw, sorry firewarden!

    Let this one render fully- so, nails are fixed.  Time to re-seam.

    Yep, I just checked and they still have one copy under $2.  It doesn't say if the CD comes with it, though.  Ships from the UK, though, so no idea how long that would take.

    @DarwinsMishap  Those nails in the last pic look good.  :)  Looks like my book shipped, too.

    Looks like something celtic to me. I like him.

    @DarwinsMishap I think I'm done testing. Everything seem to be working. Here are the last two renders:

    oh, how cool!  I love them both; the lighting, poses, DOF on the first are fantastic......that winged tiger on the second is gorgeous. Ahmad Djinn in that armor (and I shoulda made horns for him!).Thank you so much!

    THank you!  Shoulda heard me cursing last night. I'da been a continual bleep reel.

    Looks like Fleming's "Freaky Frank" Book on AbeBooks (the used version, 1 copy left) is 1.34!

    Someone says "Good Morning" while testing facial rigging. :)

    ..need to check the shaders on his teeth. >.>

    quick (15 minutes and still at 0% convergance-love reflective/refractive/translucent materials) render- teeth shade is alright, but needs a sharper shine.

    Much better! Onto the other two brow sets after finishing seam checking. 

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,770

    LMAO. Wow, these are interesting renders today! 

    @Chanteur Beautifully done! Love Ahmad in the Rune outfit!

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    LOL Have to have fun, right?

    I WANT that Rune outfit. Eventually.  Someday.  And Right?  Love it on him.

    I am looking for one with the CD. Will have to work on it when I have more time. I'd asked an eBay seller, but their copy did not have the CD. I've got the book marked so I won't forget it. 

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    I have the CD somewhere, unless it got lost in the move.  Have't seen it in years-I bought my copy from here when it was available.  Hope you find one!

    Those are absolutely gorgeous! I think my jaw hit the floor there. Might have a bruise...

    You mean you can make him a matching set of horns? Why didn't you????? He looks amazing with horns. *silently pats herself on the back for converting Achmad Djinn to demonism* angel

    Thank you, Llynara. I think he makes a great dark elf/demon lord in that outfit.

    LOL. Sorry, didn't mean to traumatize your jaw. Thank you.

    Newp-everytime I had the cash for it, I had to either get something else or pay bills. lol  As for the horns, my first attempt wasn't bad, but not good enough to sell.  Need more practice.XD

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,770

    You could make an add-on set later: "Demon Djinn!"
