Description

During her travels, Sahel realizes so people prefer to play with more than the 52 cards in the deck. This image was done for a contest here (nope... didn't win, place, or show :)). I thought some might might enjoy it anyway. The lighting is a bit more complex for this image. The sky HDRI is providing some ambient lighting, but most of the lighting is coming from 5 spotlights, and the two sconce lights. and one low intensity overhead mesh light. I used two spot lights near the sconces to provide more light than the mesh lights could provide without blowing them out in the image. The other spotlights were used for rim lights and that main light. Except for the outfit (and trunk), virtually everything else in the scene is using customized shaders. I needed to add bump maps to the walls, floors, chairs, table, and adjust the glossy/roughness values to my liking. The gun was perfect except for the stock, which needed a bit more shine. and finally, IIRC the "whiskey" was just darkened a bit. The only post work was the signature, and a slight adjustment to levels, and a bit of unsharp mask. For the figure I used Sahel from DAZ3D and modified/morphed her for the look I wanted, and the outfit is the FancyPunk dynamic cloth outfit from Renderosity (dynamic cloth takes a bit more work, but I think it's well worth it). Thanks in advance for any comments and for stopping by.
