> Quote - I agree with ashley on not browsing thru photos, then choosing one as the scene basis. my point is that, if they're using the poser renderer, the characters are not gonna match the photo's lighting, so it will look very fake IMVHO. speaking as an art critic (and not an artist) I would prefer that poser users do their renders in such a way that the entire scene and background is composed of 3d objects. even something as obvious as using a sky photo background is gonna make it difficult to match the lighting when using the poser renderer.
Respectfully, I disagree. Check out my linked gallery image. The photo lighting was so interesting that I designed my whole concept around it. I was able to match the direction and amount of light/shadow from the sun pretty well I think.
The photo worked well because it was a very large image and was level. I only used a small part of the photo in order to focus the attention on the figure.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
