Description

A lighting exercise inspired by PhilW's excellent Carrara 8 tutorial series - available at Daz and Infinite Skills. (As I've said before, if you want to sharpen your Carrara skills this is the best $100 you can spend.) HDRI lighting and two spots - no postwork except to insert the logo. All effects seen here are Carrara sky, lighting or rendering options. I kinda liked how it turned out so I decided to post it. Yes, I've been away for a bit again. I finally relented and had some surgery that I've been delaying for years. The surgery itself went better than expected but I've had complications, including a serious infection. To be fair, considering my other medical issues the doctors have done a rather remarkable job getting a handle on it. But the result is I'm too weak to sit at the keyboard for long, so simple exercises like this will be all I can do for the forseeable future. (Sigh, once again Aranée is on hiatus - sorry.) Thanks for those who have asked about me, I really appreciate it. I will take a peek at your galleries as time (and body) permit.

Gorgeous pic. Had no idea that Carrara could produce amazing effects like this. It must have taken a long time to render. We'll wait patiently for the next installment in Aranée's story. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
