I was wondering exactly how much light the "sun" contributes versus the environment.
I zoomed in on this person's back. We have shadows from the bikini string.
The ratio of the shadow to the lit is 82%, i.e. the shadow is 82% as bright as the lit part.
In my render, I had a shadow brightness of about 70%. So I made TOO MUCH shadow, at least for the parts that are open to the sky and sand.
I agree I need to get the AO working on the "deeper" shadows. I'm beginning to suspect Poser is having problems with the AO node, not really producing anything.
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)
