Description
been playing around with lighting. looked up a few tutorials and found one that really helps :3
also started to use photoshop for something OTHER than necessary fixing. im usually against it but...cant really argue with the results, lol
also tried making an "imperfectly perfect" character. just dialed in a few imperfections to try and remove the barbie-esque symmetry.
lastly, i finally broke down and got Charlie and Neeve(?) by Callad and Moonbunny. a very great set with some awesome textures(what you see here doesnt really do it justice)

Your ideas are right on....the face here is not too perfect,and it does seem that DAZ has a nice light quality,good use of photoshop too....don't be afraid to use it!

Nice lights - very natural. Dunno why you're against using PS for anything other than fixes. Seems to me that the 3D tools only give you a starting point for an artwork. After all, it's a 2D image that you present to the world, so why limit yourself? Many major painters varied lighting within a work (Titian, Caravaggio, Turner, etc.) and varying the lighting frees you to improve textures, composition, detail, and so on. You can only do that after rendering. 3D tools are all very well for simple poses and hard props, but just don't have the power to model complex poses or clothing accurately, let alone difficult stuff like hair, feathers, fur, or, as you demonstrate here, the slight imperfections that differentiate the humans from the polygons.

great image.the tutorials seem to have worked because the lighting looks very good.also agree with pantalone any post work is just part of the creation of the image as much as using DAZ.
