However, I can't take any credit for image editing skills, for the post work was minimal on that image. The hair was 'painted on'. It was painted onto a texture map of a DAZ hair by Kozaburo. The figure was rendered in Bryce, and the whole thing was a quick throw together (but not a quick render ;-)) using an established light setup. I did it some time ago for a thread similar to this at 3DGladiators. I would never claim that Poser is capable of ever being a suitable tool for making a film like Final Fantasy. But I will claim that Poser, a very cheap consumer app, is capable of stunning results in the right hands, and stands up well against applications costing tens of thousands. I might have a go at a closer emulation of those Final Fantasy images, if I can be arsed.
