This is one I'm working on, I can not get the lighting to look decent, this is with a 115 raidial light dome (love that thing) before I put that in could not get it to look lighted at all. It still looks a little washed out. using babys and people from poser, wall is a pic on a cube. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can't really give much advice as I don't use light domes. I'm too lazy I guess. Just a few things. Are the babies actually sitting on the floor? It's foggy as we can tell from the little people, but the fog doesn't obscure the babies at all? Fog and shadows are tricky. Have you tried without the fog to get shadows right and then increase the fog again? Could be a very cool picture. Maybe drop the POV a little to increase the scale of the babies. I guess it depends if the people are tiny or the babies are huge?

well.. right off the top, before i would touch anything else. i think the perspective is a little, um... leading... or can at least be easily perceived that way. if you can change it a little so the middle baby doesnt look like its pooping out people / or the person doesnt look like they are looking up to the baby a$$ or waiting to be pee'ed on, youd be on your way to a better image. a few ways to do this... ppossibly add a gradient barrier of some kind between the people and that middle baby. like a glow, maybe a volume spere or something. the point being, if you want to keep your perspective/camera position (along with the characters) you really should make an effort to seperate that very glaring bizzarness. also what gives credence to that visula is that none of the babies are looking at the people. they are staring off into the distance.. my guess is its the same pose with a few minor changes then exported. i suggest working on three babies in poser and pose them so they are a little more invloved with eachother, or the people - but at the very least, do something with their eyes. not going to talk about lighting or composition, i think if the idea is something youd want to pursue you should tweak some of the bulk of it first.

yeah, I find it a little bit uncomfortable to be looking up a baby's bottom!!! How about if they were lying on their stomachs looking down at the people below? Or just shifted sideways a bit so their sex can't be identified? Also, though I've never had a boy baby, it doesn't look anatomically correct to me in the nether regions ROTFL - looks like it's multi-purpose (i.e. remove pee pee and you have a girl-baby!)

I agree, the middle one is um, a litte differnet in that department. I coulnd find the diaper for the poser 4 baby. :) and the fog was not intentional, have to adjust the fog and haze settings a bit. thanks for pointing out the looking up the babys bottom bit, it didn't hit me, In my head I know how they are supposed to be, and that somtimes obscures what the actual result is. I'm going to apply some of the suggestions and see how that works. Thanks all.

In the modesty department I'd definatly find something to solve that problem. Or you could just click the 'genitalia' button in Poser. The Great Don Tattro, as I recall (I could be wrong here), did use diapers/nappies in his renders....so I' sure they're about. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Maybe the "Wings 3D" guys could whip up a stack of diapers??

The diaper in Poser 4 is for some ungodly reason hidden among the women's clothes. Don't ask me why, I don't know.

ahaha! is there something we, men, are missing...?

yes, diapers
