Description
What with Blender's Cycles renderer coming to Poser, I thought it
an opportune time to bring a Poser scene to Blender. There were
several reasons for doing this, most of them having to do with a
sense of growing disenchantment with how scene props render. The
key reason for this is due to a critical lack current versions of
Poser have in terms of "particles". Most artists see sparks or
other wee flying things when the word particles come to mind, but
the ability to manage particles in Blender is one of its greatest
strengths, as the above image illustrates: particles are
responsible for grass distribution. Figure posing was done in
Poser, as was the cloth sim. The water shader was cobbled together
in Blender. The grass: Andrew Price's "Grass Essentials". The top:
"wet t-shirt" by AmethystPendant. The running tights: MegioStorm's
leggings, the tree: Esha's "Forest Trees" and the rocks, by AriFinj
(BlendSwap CC3), V4 and P3M's Melia Hair. CPU rendered in Cycles:

Very nice image, but I know not of what you speak. I am learning though and hope to be better soon.

There is a melancholic touch on your post, Robyn, a gleam of mystery and somehow may be puzzling as to how the women looks away from the camera and facing the open sea. It might just be a preference just as how I like my portraits always facing on the right to show the 3/4 side of the face. And when the face was flipped to the right--- it doesn't look right. Just a mere observation. Glad to see you posting again. :-)

You have a significantly more developed sense for image / content composition, Jenny. :) I sort-of just saw the scene - the path, the sky... and even the curve of the branches of the tree - from this side for no very strong reason except I frequently appear to do so. I agree the image has an aspect of melancholy: it's like music of Edvard Grieg or Robert Schumann, which indulges those minor scales lavishly. I think the main reason I face the figure away from the camera is to draw the attention away from the figure - she's looking at something that is focusing her attention, and since you can't see it, you're left contemplating the scene itself, particularly the grass.

Such a warm and sensitive work you have created here. The scene is reminiscent of a sense of parting, or a last farewell perhaps to something that is just out of sight - the stormy background seeming to emphasize this. The figure pose and composition helps to reinforce the feeling - her turning away from the camera is an inspired touch. Robyn, your work goes from strength to strength, and I always look forward to seeing more. Most excellent work!!!
