Description

This one isn't done--the bump maps on the top belts are wrong, and I may not keep the silky texture for the skirt, but I loved how you can see how good the skirt can look...the skirt is a conforming piece,not dynamic, and all that nifty swooping is done with built-in morphs. It did take me a couple of tries to figure out the best movement morphs were under the BodyParts selection above the preview window--that way you can grab the part you need, to move easily to fit even an extreme pose like this one. (Modified from the Exquisite Poses for M4 on the MP). I also discovered that nice silky shine is what you get from having a separate specular map that has it's own pattern on it, like what you get when you use the filter Clouds and then spin it a little in the Blur filter menu; or here with a second image map of feathers (you can barely see them in the top image.) And if you want a great fabric bump, make a new layer of your texture map, fill it with a light gray, run Noise on it, use Motion Blur at about 25 pixels, then duplicate that layer, rotate it 90 degrees, put it on Overlay (or any other tranparent blending mode), squish it down on the first noise layer-- and now you have a nice grayscale fabric texture for your Bump channel!

When I first looked I was sure it was going to be done with dynamic cloth. Wow, really interesting movement with morphs. A fine piece illustrating another fine garment.

Aweome movement and flow with his skirt. I especially like the bottom one. Really great job using the dials to get it to behave. Love the info on how to make the fabric bump in the materials room. You are way ahead of the game in relation to your understanding on how to do this sort of thing. My hat's off to you! Really nice posing here too. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic dance... Raine as a furious knight in a royal game - curious who is he fighting for... Would be nice if i could render such a senery - but at the moment... Did the mistake to upgrade from DS 2.3.3.89 to DS 3.1.144 - this blows up my scenes so that my memory is swamped ( file in ds 2 was for example 20 megs - in ds 3 the same file has 69 megs...)
