FyreHeart- thanks, I'm happy with how that one came out. Still playing with the hands and trying to get some light in that window behind him, which appears to be opaque and part of the wall. I'll keep messing with it.
Shinji- How about something like "Standoff in Sector 9" or "Crossfire at Checkpoint 11"? Since we're seeing it from the point of view of whoever's holding the red and silver gun, the title could reflect that person's thought process. If they turned down that hallway by mistake, you could call it "Trouble Ahead", "Uh Oh" or "Wrong Turn". If they meant to go there: "So We Meet Again!" or "Lock and Load!" Have fun with it!
PS. I'm partial to the title "Lock and Load" myself!
Thanks for the tips. Let's see if I have the time to make another render before the end of the month.
To render, or not to render. That is the question!
I am like that for titles. They either come to me while I am working or I have no idea what to call something.
Good luck
LOL! It certainly is! :D
Hi! Everyone,
Meet Lushia resident of the Khidell House. She is part of a series I have been developing called "Anowar" . She is rendered using pointlights and 3Delight. I tried Nvidia but it made her skin look texturized and I played around with the uberenviornment lights but they seemed harsh on her skin. This was the render that I liked the most, although I really wanted to make her eyes glow more.
Hi Everyone,
Its me again, here is another scene from "Anowar". This is the "Battle at Longmare". I used spotlight and a skydome light setting to render this scene 3Delight. The shadows is why I wanted to post this one.

Welcome RomonaJ:
Lushia is very striking.
Have you tired using point lights to try and give her eyes some glow? You would have to scale them down in size. Linear Point Lights would give you more control over how far the light reaches with the falloff settings.
One or both of your lights might need to be toned down a bit. The white is being overpowered by the light.
You do have some great shadows and I really like the minimalist landscape and background. It makes your figures and what is happening with them the focus.
That is one seriously interesting headdress - not sure it's too comfortable, though.
Do you want the eyes to glow on their own, or have more light shining on them? The latter is an old Hollywood trick of the black and white movie era. Pointlights could work, but to keep her nose from glowing you would have to set up one for each eye.
If you want the eyes to glow on their own, go to the Surfaces tab and turn the Ambient from dark to a light color. Then increase the Ambient Strength just a little - maybe only 5% or less, otherwise you will have stark white. UE2 is the way to make the eyes emit light, but you didn't want to use it.
Thanks for the link - I'll be sure to look it up.
You have a slight collision problem with the thumbs and the bars. Hands holding things are the hardest, I know. Just keep practicing.
looks like his right palm is colliding as well. can't tell with the left.
To make a long story short. :) I was able to make adjustments to her shorts, they did not look too flared out sitting. lol I did not change the shirt color was a bit more complicated than just changing colors in daz and no templates. I did change the chair and table though. :)
As for lights I ended up with the spotlight as my sunlight through the window, made the distant light in the room, and made adjustments to get this result. :)
So....tada!
Are her feet sinking into the floor?
Good job on the adjustments.
Thanks, I worked on his hands, got the window to look right and will post a final tonight. Almost there!
Thought I would post this render I am working on, this is 30% done rendering.
Lights are - Barcelona Rooftops HDRI, Emissive Shader on bedside light, standing light behind piano and there is an overhead centre light. There is no wall behind the camera so the ambient light coming from there is from the HDRI as if it is coming through another window.

Cool render Fishtales. :)
Thank you.
Thanks. :)
They had been on renders I did originally and I made adjustments. A person never knows. I have made adjustments thinking I got things and
then find out I didn't,. They are kind of really flat shoes. lol
Overall a good scene, but that's a seriously big dog. I actually found it distracting given the size relationship between the dog and the bed and the piano.
Love the lighting. It's a beautiful scene, Fishtales. I want to go there!
Very interesting head dress (and on the other render too). Reminds me of something from Dune!
Checking to see what you guys are all up to and Wow over 200 posts to slog thru! I've been busy doing non DS related stuff and haven't been popped in since my last post.
@Siotrad I really like how the Geisha turned out. Stunning work.
@dracorn Bishop takes Queen turned out really nicely.
@dHandle I really like the light and shadows that you have going on your vampire/monster render. Very nice effects.
@Shinji Ikari 9th I really like the lighting changes you've made. It almost looks like a totally different render from the last time I saw it.
Welcome to the newbies dropping in that I haven't met yet. This is a great place to learn and get some helpful tips.
I have a render in the oven as it were. It should be finished overnight. I'm letting it run full out, just in case I don't get a chance to make any changes to it and this ends up being my contest entry. I made some changes from the last post, but I'm still not happy with it. Hopefully, I can get some advice and have time to run one more render before the contest ends. In the meantime, I stopped it long enough to save last render before letting it resume. This render posting is at about 65% and 8284 iterations so it might actually not be much different at the end. It has a render time of 1 day 20 hours and 9 minutes when I stopped it. I honestly can't tell a difference sometimes except in the deep shadows that there has been much of a change once an Iray render gets up past 6000 iterations.
Last minute render......
Paradise by the Dashboard Light
"Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light"
-- Meat Loaf
DS 4.9, Iray. No Postwork
HDRI for background, intensity dropped way down.
Blue tinted mesh lights for overall ambience
High intensity rim light to simulate moonlight (as other forum posts said, we've been conditioned to expect it by lots of night scenes on TV and movies)
Color Saturation dropped to .75 for night scene.
Emissive surface on the radio panel
Point light in front of radio for improved emissive lighting
Additional spot to cheat for the light on the face

@TabascoJack This is AWESOME! Lots of good renders this month as well.
I agree here. :)
Wonderful render TabascoJack
