Description
Okay, so here's a work in progress that I'd like to get a bit more "polished".
I think it needs something in the way of postwork but I don't know what. I don't really know what I'm doing with that so if anybody can recommend tutorials or point me in the right directions, please do post here or site-mail me. I'd be really grateful! :)
I'm also happy to hear criticism or advice on any other aspect of this, although I can't promise I've got the technical expertise to execute any of the recommendations! lol.
Please view full size to get the most detail out of it.
Thanks for looking everyone and a big Hello to all the Critique Group members!
Cheers,
Ant.
Tech Details
============
Just a few brief notes:
1) This scene uses Stonemason's 'Cargo Bay' prop which has lights modelled into it. In order to try and light the scene "correctly", I placed lights in Poser (7) at the location of each of the lights. I quickly found that Poser allows a maximum of 8 lights (I think) in a scene. Oops! So...I had to just keep the ones that would affect the scene most. There is also a front-on spot to illuminate the main character.
2) Bump Maps - In Poser 7, it appears that when you load a saved scene, 2D image maps (from an "external" runtime) connected to the bump channel of a surface don't get reloaded properly. This means that on rendering, the bump doesn't render properly or at all. It's not until you browse to their location (using the open file dialog) and reload them, that they seem to render properly.
I only realised this by cranking up the bump value after I first loaded the scene and immediately rendered and no change to the "bumpiness" was noticed. After I had reloaded the bump image in the material room did it render as expected. Would be interested to hear if anybody else has experienced this, so site-mail me if you want to discuss.
