Trying to get to know my products

mding

With DAZ Studio I think the products we own are like (music) notes or paint colors. So I would like to delve a bit into the different assets in my library to get a feeling for the "instrument", in order to become better at my hobby. As I was told that everybody can play around here, I would like to use this a bit as a journal to motivate myself. I don't use AI.

These simple ones (click to enlarge) I did in the last few days, atm I tend towards soft shadows and clean and rather sparse renders:

Aisling by RedzStudio, Autumn Day Clothes by Sue Yee, boots from Overall Outfit by xtrart-3d, La Femme Hair by Laticis Imagery and GHD TableTop Candle Set by
3D-GHDesign / Ae Ti (christmas freebie at DAZ)
 

Bucket from Hobby Props Gardening by SilvaAnt3d, plant and pot from Like A Painting Vignette by vikike176

Hebe (G8F) by Akasha / Anain, Fashion Tight Dress Lace Bodycon by Kujira, Chunky Pigtails by OOT and Summer Sandals Volume 1 by Dogz

It's refreshing to see simple uncluttered renders. I especially like the flowers.

Tried a more painterly look with G2F (click to enlarge):

Valerie (G2F) by addy, Alieta Spryte Hair by goldtassel and Avery Outfit by Nikisatez

To adapt the HDRI lighting was quite difficult.

Path Through the Woods by JeffersonAF

I own many environments of JeffersonAF, far off they look convincing in the blur of DOF, but for closeups some work has to be done, more than I did for this render. More plants and a bit PW to make the streams' edges look a bit softer.
