I hope I didn't ask this years ago! Here is my version of "Ava." She is perfect for me, if I do a Preview Render only.

But if I do a real render (even the very minimum render), she looks different and not what I like..

Any way I can get the real render to look more like he Preview version? Thanks!

Thanks!

lighting and render settings need help. Is this rendered in Firefly or Superfly?

Ok I just saw the Poser 9 in the title. Still a lighting, render settings and possibly issues with texture shaders.

Give me a min. My machine is tied up with a render

try these settings for your FF render and post up your result. Then we can fix whatever else is wrong with it after that. Before I have to get into a pissing contest with another user about my settings: I used these for years. These settings are optimized to get really great results in FF and still be reasonably fast.

That character reminds me of SAV's Sonia. Here is a render of her.

Firefly.

Yes, I morphed Sonia into Ava.

I will try this, thanks!

Yes, I morphed SAV Sonia into Ava. And credited.

OK. So I'm guessing you are using the maps and shaders that came with Sonia. I'll take a look at that.

Very nice! It took a long time, doing what appeared to be two renders! The hair is jet black from my preview render. I blacked it. I'll have to fix it. Thanks!

StudioArtVardanian is missed!

OK. I loaded the default textures for Sonia and used a dome for lighting. These are no Poser lights in this render. Is this more what you wanted? The shaders are not something I would have used back in my FF days. I always used EZSkin II to fix the shaders and then saved those as presets in my runtime.

Thanks so much for your help!

This thread reminded me I used to have a V3 character called Ava, inspired by the same person as you I'm sure :) She had a friend called Grace. They were both dial spinning creations. I seem to remeber Ava having very distinct cheek bones.

Both renders are Firefly. For some reason I could never get V3 skins to render well in Superfly :(

@ypvs those probably just need some tweeks to the texture maps in Photoshop and some decent SSS shaders. Here is V3 in Superfly

I still like twisting V3 dials. One of my favorite morphed characters is Adele, shown here with her sister Ivy.
