BIO I'm an illustrator, and for the last 15 years I have been doing almost exclusively digital work--mostly covers for e-books and small presses; fantasy, SF and Paranormal Romance covers are my specialty. I use Poser, Photoshop and Painter, and a nifty little paint program called ArtRage. I have been lucky enough to have work shown on the BBC's The Sky at Night, done promotional artwork for the Hugos, and have digital art tutorials published in Michael Burn's Femme Digitale and Digital SciFi Art (Watson-Guptill 2004) as well as DVD covers, cd covers and e-book covers, most recently for Liquid Silver Books, Edge/Tesseract and Dragon Moon Press. I'm also a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists. . When I have time, I do acrylic paintings for fun.
Commissions: I do 3d texturing and backgrounds now rather than book covers, and I do appreciate a good UV template to work on. Thanks for checking out my bio!

A very nice render. The body of the dress does look like velvet.

Ah, maybe up your samples or whatever superfly uses. I don't use a lot of velvet shaders, but in Iray I believe they use two shaders, one for the lit side of the fuzz, and one for the shaded side. I think.

Iray actually gives you a backscattering tab that works pretty well--the key is to make the Glossy color darker than the Diffuse color (gives you that edge blend effect) I think this is the formula: diffuse roughness .43 glossy layered weight .33 scatter only glossy roughness 1.00 backscattering .35 backscattering Roughness.17 And that makes pretty good velvet with just a few bright points :D

I think the velvet is really coming along. Your work seems to be moving in the right direction. I applaud you for digging into super-fly. Well done.

Thanks so much! I like both DS and Poser, but Poser feels like an old friend :D

Really nice feel to this one! Most excellent result! Bravo!

Thanks so much! I think a lot of the appeal is that lovely didi_mc tree background!

The render looks amazing as do the velvet shaders. I am sure Poser users will love these.
