First HDRI by NetWorthy

Image © 2010 by Larry Hodge
I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

Great use of the HDRi file I like the look in her eye and the sheen on her hair, there's a nice natural glow to the skin Fine DVD you have there, I had a look at a few of the demo`s and found out a thing or two from them!

She looks good but I'd knock the focus and saturation down somewhat on the backgound.

I am looking forward to seeing how the Aranee characters look under this new system. I know you and the rest of us are in for a treat because I can look back and see how much my Ishtar characters evolved with practice and technical changes.

Gorgeous - love her eyes! Not that there is anything wrong, but you may try using a slightly longer focal length on the camera? Also for indoor scenes, the key is indirect lighting - it can make minimal difference on outdoor scenes but makes a HUGE difference to indoor scenes! Unfortunately it also adds to your render times. Still, back to this image - did I say, Gorgeous!
