Quote - Medmon.. this is my try at replicating the effect you were getting with the close-ups you were doing yesterday.  It's my own hand-dialed character with Callad's charlie/neve texture applied.  Gloria Short Hair morphed up some to try to get a wind-blown look.  The background is an hdri image I found  and applied to the daz environment sphere and then turned into a light in Reality.  Used no shaders and did not one thing with the materials other than make unseen materials matte rather than glossy.  Let it bake about 1200 passes.  I actually used a film effect on this.. used the Kokak Portra 160NC as this is what my pro photog cousin said she uses for portrait work.

 

Seeing it full-sized is a must so clickie clickie on the pic to see the giant version.

Very nice, Sharky. I sure do like that Charlie & Neve skin ( I may have mentioned this before )

I need to look into using the DAZ Environment Sphere (not really even sure what that is to be honest) I've just been using the Multiplane Cyclorama as a backdrop in most of my scenes.
