Hello

This is my first scene/image with DS3A. I almost always use Carrara, but with DS3A being 64bit, I've started to seiously play with it. I used LightDome 2 Pro (32 lights, 200% ambient) and one spot for lighting. I thought I'd let the experts here look at it and give me some tips. I had to modify the default settings in LD2 Pro quite a bit to get softer lights/shadows. I also changed the default shadow setting on the sun light to soften the sun shadows. I think that using DOF might have helped to highlight G4 more.

It seems like materials settings need to be modified in most cases, just like in Carrara. I'm going for a realistic toon look, not true realism with this image. Any tips on materials settings would be very welcome.

A larger version of the image (Afternoon Walk) can be seen in my gallery:

Thanks in advance!
