Description

This is the result of using a lot of tools now available for DAZ Studio. I recently picked up the UberEnvironment Light Shader IBL/HDRI by Omnifreaker over at DAZ, but hadn't taken the time to try it out. It was surprisingly simple to use. It comes with a few sliders that allow you to adjust the brightness and the contrast of the HDRI image you use, and I also upped the samples for the ambient occlusion to 128 to keep the speckling down. In addition I decided to add some FX using Dreamlight's MoodMaster set. I added a fog layer with sky falloff, a sun glow and a lens flare. Rendered each of those as separate layers which I then combined in Photoshop. The critter is, of course, the Wyvern 2 available at DAZ. The floating castle, as well as the bridges and whatnot are from Faveral's wonderful Dragon Island set, also available at DAZ.

Very cool scene - love the POV and effects. Thanks for sharing with us how you put your pictures together. It's helpful and interesting to me to know how others do what they do in their pictures. Beautiful lighting and colors in this. Bravo!
