    Hi, everyone... thanks for the suggestions about the rendering process @dragoneyes002 (I didn't know about the qualities dialswink) and @Linwelly (cheeky the karate-warrior like pose!)... I felt in love with the pic, particularly because it looked like a puzzle and conveys so much beauty in the trusting entanglement... smiley

    this is where I've come so far... Now I feel it is worth to share and to point at critiques (they will be very much appreciated!)... As I told before, there were many many many things to arrange about my first attempt... like the merging of some of the figures' parts, the clothing (it was primarily the V4 autofit satin red dress-smoothing that was causing all of that delay in the rendering, so I changed her clothes for the helix one!), yesh: both figures needed morphing, perhaps they still need quite fit and toning in their muscles...surpriseuhmmm.... wondering again if it is about our ability to 'copy' the original pose or our creativity in using the actual pose to make it our own (wondering, because the way I'm doing it right now puts me a little bit down cheeky )... her face might also need a little twist and their skin color-lighting might need some extra care... I looooove the flow of the ActivePose tool... didn't know about this either... yet in the tutorial, it seems different wink(DAZ is quite intuitive, this is why I like it I guess!)... Edited: I'm using G8 figures btw!

    My main doubt is about the shadows though, because:

    Q shadows (sorry for the sign, don't understand why it is appearing!)

    Interesting choices, everyone... not quite sure what to suggest yet (don't believe I can add anything to what had been already said... (my apologies)

    Thanks in advance... have a beautiful challenge, everyone!

    PS. Oooooopsy, almost forgot to attach the images... In case you are curious... I'm attaching a view from the other side (not a rendered one though)wink

     

    @Angelik M On the lighting...there is definiitely light coming from the back *you can see it on the hair as well* which is what is casting your shadows forward. I would check from top view and be sure there isnt anything else in there. If there is definitely not then could it be that you have the Headlamp turned on on the Camera? To check, click the Camera in the scene tab, go to headlamp and then be sure Headlamp Mode is set to Off (generally a good habit it get into for rendering anyway since the headlamp will control some of your lighting/shadows and turning it off ensure only light you put into the scene is lighting said scene.)

    If that isnt what is casting the light and you are rendering in Iray, then check your environment rotation. That also can cast light at different points depending on the photo being used. To try rotating that to see if it resolves the issue, go to the Render Settings Tab and then gp tp Environment and then incremementally change Dome Rotation. (Try going by like 30 to 50 at a time - so like type in 30 and check and then 60 and so on)

    Hope that helps. Cant wait to see how this turns out smiley

    Hi everyone.

    Hope I’m on time.

    Busy, busy lovely month!

    Here it is... it is called: “Sweet Entanglement “smiley

    Will explain the process later... 

    Congratulations everyone wink

    P.S. (edit) Also posting the raw pose - a screenshot directly from DAZ (it is slightly different from the one I'm presenting... it is taking toooo much time to render this last one... anyways... I'm quite happy with the challenge and the results!)

    Ooops, just remembered! Postwork (making the part of the cloth that is different from the reference image) and background in CSP wink

    Thanks for the note on lighting @DAZ_ann0314 smiley

    I’m reading it calmly today (while scrolling through the posts).  I even turned off the camera auto lighting to see where was this light coming from and if I could delete it LOL... anyways, as there was (as far as I know) no tangible solution, I thought that rotating the figures could help (before falling into deep sleep last night) and now I’m reading your comment cheeky, wish I could have given myself some more time to do so a little bit earlier... anyways I appreciate the input!

    Big mystery to solvesurprise... curious about it... probably simpler than it seems... 

    off I go... will post about my process when I have some spare time (don't know when now)...smiley
