Not bad. I am getting closer to what I want.

Try an auto contrast in photoshop... Probably don't use photoshop though. It would alleviate some of the washed out look giving it more pop. Instead of messing about in Poser this is something that can be fixed one click post. I get wanting to get it just so in Poser, always nice when that happens. Feels a bit like your HDR lighting is really influencing the coloration of your scene. Maybe a bit much? I haven't been following so I'm only guessing on your lighting situation.


I like that you gave her boobs a bit of hang. First thing I noticed lol.

Also probably that web wouldn't be wrapping about the leg like that, it would be taut because of the tension and rather deforming the soft tissue of her thigh IMO. I think you would have a more realistic result that way. If I can have only one minor critique that isn't rendered related I would say that her elbows on the body suit desperately need a JCM...


I don't expect you'll greet any of my opinions with much enthusiasm though lol. That's fine.


I am not upset. And I did notice that elbow thing. It's because I did some tweaking to part of her costume because of poke through and forgot to up the subdivision after the fact.

The HDR is causing the tint issues with the scene. I was getting white out from a previous HDR and this one was adding reds and blues so I tried to adjust the HSV and probably messed that up. I am still learning how to use this, since I have only ever relied on Poser lights and wanted to try something different.

I don't have Photoshop, and I won't until they change the subscription nonsense. I do have GIMP, and I know how to adjust the pic with it, but I wanted to see if I could achieve what I want without post editing.

I will experiment with soft body physics and see if I can get the webbing to deform her inner thigh like it's supposed to. I have never really messed with that, though, and I don't really want to try it with the morph brush...

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
