I'm wondering how you guys get your models to look so lifelike in postwork. Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to improve my finished products? I'm currently using Fireworks MX and I have Corel Photopaint 8. My work seems so flat compared to some of your collective artwork and I'd just like to be able to produce with as much quality as the rest of you. Thank you for any help that can be given. The Nyt

It relies on a good MAt to start with. I, like most of the people here, use Photoshop ( with a lot of very good plugins).

If you post an example of your work, maybe it would be easier to give you some comments to help out. Rawn

This is my makeshift webstite of my poser work. Most of these can also be seen in my gallery here at Renderosity. Again, thank you for any help that can be shared.

Lighting could do alot to help the realism of the renders, this could also be augmented with post work to help bring out any shadows or highlights that could add emphasis to parts of the pictures. Also using the burn and dodge tools on clothes can help give it a more realistic "worn and dirty" look. (these tools can become your best friend in post work...well, for me at least LOL) Rawn

I agree with Rawn, lighting is a big deal. :) I made a simple tutorial about how I do postwork in portraits, you might find this useful (it's for Photoshop 7, but maybe it can help you anyway).
