Okay, so here is my final version for now.
10. In this version, I created a new layer behind the flames to add some smoke. I used Ron's smoke and fog brushes to add some yellow smoke behind the flames so it was less hard edged and looked less pasted in.
A. In overlay mode I added orange to the girls hair on the place's where light would show, to give it som interest.
B. I lightened the floor with yellow flame color in overlay mode, since there would be light down there too.
C. I used Ron's war elements, Charges to add layers with charges to give the scene sparks and erased out the ones that did not look right. For some reason, I prefer the sparks in that set than the spark set. Go figure.
D. Because I could I added a charge bouncing off the alien' head, then flattened and fixed the piece of trash embedded in the girl's shirt, eliminated my erased fire trail and lightened it all slightly. There you are!
E. You can see now that there is no sign the Alien's left hand ever floated!
This isn't intended to be a realistic masterpiece, but just to show you how to use photoshop layers and overlay mode to alter your image.
Well, wanted to test out the Dforce Pajamas. I have to say this is one of the slowest dforces I've yet had. First it failed to dforce 3 times with both Owen and Boyd in the scene. I restarted studio each time, to try to get it to run. Then I added dforce, saved it, and managed to dforce Boyd alone. However this was 10 minutes in to the simulation, and it was still not completed.
To economize on the time spent rendering this, I turned of Dforce from memorized pose.
I wish there were visible seams in the pants and the top. I also wish the shirt had a more typical male neckline. The men's pj's I've seen if they have a v-neck also have a collar. Otherwise they are the round neck for the stretchy shirt top.
I guess I’d ultimately rather have more detail and conforming cloth.
Great Tutorial, it is great to see how you develope everything.
Thanks! Glad you find it useful.
Thanks for sharing the steps you went through on that image. I always learn something when someone explains their creative process.
Glad you liked it! =-)
Those of you who know me, know I've been looking for a good 3d pumpkin pie forever. The Freebie in the latest renderosity newsletter has a 'tart' that can work for this purpose. I just hid the very large yellow fruit on the top, and made it a bit bigger to fit the very nice plate that came with the toon food.
And I included the essential whipped cream- Made by Maclean, and named after me? See.... I'm famous now!
Phoenix reported there were some excellent free baking props over at rendo by perpetualrevision which included SPILLED evaporated milk. They look really great, so be sure to pick those
Bah, there is a typo in feral fay's eat drink and be merry pose sets. Now I have 2 genesis 8 female folders.
Submit a help request. That is unacceptable.
There was a simialr typo on their Beginning and Advanced Yoga poses, too. Reported when it came out and, of course, no official fix yet.
I'm sensing holiday renders are coming!
Yeah, it is a double space. So it creates another G8F folder.
Yeah, I'm gearing up to do my anual holiday thanksgiving scene. I was hella sick last year, and Boyd still had his previous skin, so I think this years will be bettter.
I also want to do some food eating scenes, but I'm running into table and chair size issues.
I wonder if the guys will find a more interesting use for that whipped cream...
Lol.... I am sure. Boyd is creative that way.
Boyd and Owen the hotsprings. I tried out the wet skin geoshell which comes with the wet hair product. It looked pretty good, but darkened Boyd's tan quite a bit.
This time, it is Boyd's turn to be troubled, but I'm sure Owen will help him figure things out.
Very, very hot! And the springs look it, too.
I love the golden light from the candles contrasted with the cool blues- and the wet skin really makes their muscles pop!
Owen: so...That's where the second can of whipped cream went.
Boyd: There's a whole other can! I didn't eat it all.
Owen: *Chuckle* I know.... But I'm still not sure if you spraying that in your mouth kind of hot, or.... gross. I'm leaning towards kinda hot.
Boyd: Totally hot of course! But what are you doing back here all alone? Shouldn't we be getting ready for our next adventure, or making me try on more women's wear?
Owen: I'm just trying to figure if I should upgrade my skin... Face, it, a lot of guys have better skin than me... Do yout think I'm looking a bit last year?
Boyd: *Gulp.* What?! No way!I like the way you look!
Owen: We're so hard to light together in a scene, and I have this weird line on my leg, she has to photohsop out everytime I'm short shorts.
Boyd:Big deal! I like you the way you are! You're skin is alabaster. You're so unique, Owen. Don't do it. I don't want you to change.. And who cares if your skin is last year. When Gen 9 comes out, my skin ill be last yer too!.
Owen: Okay... Well, if you're sure. you like it.
Boyd: Absolutelly/positively 100 percent positive, no change is neccessary!
Owen:
I take it you were considering making a change?
I tested a ton of male skins by rendering them on Owen. There were one or two who might do. Owens a fair skinned guy of Irish descent He currently is using Gianni 7’s skin.
I then tried skin shaders. The results were not impressive. Either they leach away his color or add a flat pink tone. I haven’t tried all the men yet. I’m still in the s group.

I like this outfit. With and without the coat. Nice Necktie as well.
This is a set Butch will like.
Holiday Dress for Genesis 8 Males includes, a nice thong, and some cuffs, perfect for Christmas for your guy. =-) I nearly passed over this, but the thong was a nice surprise
Thanks so much! =-)
It's hard finding good pale male skin. I wonder how owen would look with freckles? Some dark haired Irish have them. i'll be interested to hear who your favorite 'skin' PAs are as skin is the one thing i'm always looking for.
Heh- my daughter used to do that with the whipped cream!
Are any of the new Lee 8 skins from the bundle looking good? Lee's close up promos show weird white circles around his iris and a red outline where the lashes meet the eyelid, but the PA s characters didn't seem to have that problem.
I have problems with skins a lot. I tend to like different things than most people do I think. I'm not looking for tattoos, makeup, or arching eybrows on my men. I like a different look. So when I buy skins, I'm never sure whether it will be something I can use.
Boyd has some boyish habits. Mostly because he had no body for many years, and takes joy in so much that other people have taken for granted. Plus he likes to make Owen laugh.
I'll look at them. I haven't messed around with Lee yet. In general Mei Lin was a bit pinker than I like. I wonder if Lee will be the same.
Oh, as far as freckles go, I think he'd look cute wtih some. He probably had them before the Aliens replaced his skin with his current white skin. He was fair before, but sadly, the aliens who did the surgery were blind, and did not fully understand the significance of human pigmentation.
Did you ever read the fantastic Sci Fi book The Windup Girl? ( it won a Hugo) One of the main character's genetic modifications is smooth almost poreless skin ( like some PA's make! ) This was done to make her flawlessly beautiful, but one of the results is she can barely sweat or lose heat and overheats all of the time... Your clueless aliens reminded me of her story.
Interesting... I have not read that, but I like it. The consequences of beauty!
I think Owen can sweat, but the skin is alien skin, and very different, but very appealing, and people seem to like to touch it, and when they do, its a memorable experience. The blind aliens, are very tactile creatures, and since they cannot see, they like things that are smooth and appealing to touch. Hence the skin.
Owen's pragmatic about the skin, and the lung. He is not especailly vain, and he always was fair, but the pros outweigh the cons in this case, as the bodymods, let him survive in harsher environements with fewer injuries.
There are people in the government who are interested in Owen's modifications, but they are unsuccessful at copying the alien technique. So they try other means. I haven't decided whether the aliens fix Owen at a genetic level, which might mean, Owen's kids will have these modfiications.
Here's Owen and Boyd with some different things done to their skin.
Owen looks a lot less pale there. They both look good, though.
