Subject: The secret to soft skin tones?
Its most likey post work, maybe using the photoshop filter diffuse glow, or maybe the Mystical Lighting set by AutoFx (its a program and a plug-in for photoshop)... Other than that there are possibly lots of ways you an achieve that. Have you contacted ToxicAngel and asked? -SimderZ- xXx

I don't know of a tutorial. The method is simple: add one of the free global presets to your light folder, then add the lights to your scene. The presets have dozens of lights, all very dim and all pointing at your objects. The lights are usually dimmer at the bottom than at the top, and they're arranged in a spherical array around your objects. The light presets are called Global Illumination Systems, and they're available in Freestuff. Type global in the search field and you get several of them.

If you have Poser5, you can "fake" GI also by using the probelight diffuse in combination with alternate diffuse. Takes a little research and some time to set up, but once it's done, you can save the settings as a shader, and reuse it again. It renders faster than having dozens of lights in your scene, and produces some impressive fake radiosity on the characters. I think Stewer has a tut of this on his website, but I don't have the address handy.

Does anyone know the secret or trick to getting soft-looking fantasy style renders (where the shadows and skin tones blend together very well) like what ToxicAngel does? It is lighting, depth-cueing, post work or what? I've been trying different methods to no avail. Or is this something that may be covered in his post work tutorials? If it is, I'l buy it today :D
