Description

I got this fantastic rendering tip from mazzam after my last two images. I agree with him that the shadows were too sharp and distracting. Just look at my previous two images to see what I mean. Using mazzam's tip, I set the shadow blur radius to 6.8. I am very pleased with how it improves the overall appeal of this image. Thank you very much, mazzam, for sharing your experience with me. I greatly appreciate you doing so! What follows is the tip: "When I use point lights I set the shadow blur radius to a value between 5.0 and 8.0. Shadows are present but not distracting. When I use spot lights indoors I use depth map shadows which look much more like stage lighting, also with soft shadows." M4 characters. Rendered in Poser Pro 2014. Post work in Photoshop 7.0. Thank you for taking a peek! Your support is greatly appreciated!
