Woot! Finally, I get to post this to the gallery! It was tied up in a shroud of secrecy as my second entry into the Swimsuit Contest. Shout out to the winners - RodS, bigjobbie, and neversayyourrealname. All fantastic images and worthy winners. Congratulations!! OK, now for the image info. This is quite similar to an earlier image - "Brianne - Turquois". I liked it a lot, but there were a couple of things I wanted to change, and some I wanted to fix. So I figured I'd make a new one that didn't need the nudity tag and enter it in the swimsuit contest. It Sounded simple enough. But as usual, simple really never is that simple. A little over 10 hours later, I finally had the entry ready for post work. I changed the camera angle and pose slightly to show more of her face. Of course that meant I would need to redo the hair simulation. Well, the new pose and camera angle had the hair covering most of her face, and blocking the light. So I needed to put a new primitive cube in the scene to block the hair from falling in her face. This took a few tries to get it to fall just right (I also had to adjust the original cube primitive on her left side because of the new camera angle). After I got the hair to simulate around her face the way I wanted, the camera angle was showing how the drape over her back and right shoulder wasn't settling close enough to her, and it just looked odd. Mesh grabber to the rescue!! A little bit of work with mesh grabber and the hair was perfect. Of course the swimsuit wasn't the right color, so I modified the shaders to match the color I wanted. Then I added a spot light to give her face a bit more light, added a couple more props, and it was ready to render!!! The model is my custom character based on Brianne for here. I think everything else was from DAZ. Minor post work for levels, vignette, and light glow in GIMP. Thanks for stopping by!!
