Mec4D
it was rendered in B&W HDR format but the small color tests I made before was not minder interesting they just request longer rendering :)

Outstanding - I have been watching the discussions on alternatives to 3delight, and have played with them all a little. Glad to see you've picked up on this one and I guess you must be one of the beta testers? The only thing that gives this away is the lack of a little AO around the shoes. When it comes down to it though, a Hasselblad in the hands of a novice will produce pictures, a pin-hole camera in the hands of an artist like Cath will always produce art. Cheers Gary

Gosh! That looks amazing Cath! Defiantly can't wait to give it a go. Looks even better than REALITY plugin for LuxRender.

Yea I'm kind of wondering does human 'scan' mean photo too... lol I mean is this a photo (scan) or 3d? Is there a wireframe?
galung
Amazing..... Heartbreaking render
Mec4D
Thanks Guys for the comments, yes 3D MODEL no photo :)
SophiD
NO WAY!!! :O :O had to look again and again... That can't be a DAZ setup - it must be the Octane engine that makes it so realistic :O Breathtaking!
Mec4D
Octane unbiased rendering and correct setup of the light, camera and material ,I used DS just to scale and pose everything in place the visual magic was done in Octane it is not standard but can be done well , at last if you have right tools, and I still look at this and can't believe myself . @Gary , there is not AO when u use pathtricing or PMC, it is global illumination.. shadows and AO are mostly in direct light, so there is no way to add something like that when render with this kernel.

Really excellent work, well done.
