Description
Well, I didn't get the updated morph done, so I instead dug out my old Virtual Victoria morph and shot her in this gorgeous arboretum. The real Victoria likes to see her renderings more powerful, and that will happen when I update this Virtual, but for this go-around I wanted to try something more casual. I used my special skin settings and standard UE2 AO with soft shadows. I also went with a little DoF here. The only "fake" DoF is in the background, which is two copies of a picture I snapped of a state park last November. To round things out, I adjusted the background's color to better match the rest of the environment, and smudged a little bit where her hair reaches her breast. Despite my best attempts at posing and using magnets, that area really didn't work out.DS3A/UE2/PSPx

I'll think about it. I was leaning more toward something solo. Pose interaction can be problematic at times.

I love the POV and nice set choice. The lighting on her jeans make them look very realistic - well placed! One question, wjhat is UE2 and PSPx? Unreal and Playstation? Any tutorials on how to render with those xD

UE2 = UberEnvironment2, built into DAZ Studio Advanced. PSPx = Paint Shop Pro X. Yep, I use Paint Shop

All in all , you pulled of an excellent image. I would have never guessed the lawn and trees in the background were from a photo, it wasn't something your eye was dragged back to see. Blurring/smudgeing the hair; perfect. I do that all the time. I believe that is the one major failing of a 3D image that gives it's self away. Hair in 3D looks like wire. Pegged it! Lighting...can never go wrong with UE2. nuff said. and Depth of Field again like bluring hair, it gives it that final look of realism. Ya got it good here.

I had a real struggle getting the blur of the photo in the background to look convincing enough >_< Thanks for the feedback!

I tried two different HDR files and the plain, straight UE2 without any maps still looked better lol Thanks ^_^

Yeah, that UE2 does amazing things just by itself most of the times.
