Description
5 Uber Point Lights and Uber Environment 2.Daz Studio 3A and Photoshop CS2 for a lot of layer work.
Used 3 Genesis figures and Charmed for K4 clothing for all the figures and exported from DS4.6 as OBJ which worked perfectly. Used Uber Surfaces a lot for the clothing and metal work. pwSurface candle mats presets for all the candles. AoA Atmospheric cams used for the candle glow. I rendered three Volume renders with the point lights at different Fall of Values, intensities to get the look I wanted for each layer.
This is what I love about the original Genesis. I made the first top figure first in DS4.6, posed and then exported. Then went back zeroed the pose and messed with the face morphs I have in my library and I havenβt got many. Then adding to the Face Morphs I used Evolution and the Base morphs to make even more adjustments each time posing and saving out as an OBJ.
I also used the same Callum skin mats on each figure adjusting the Ambient Strength of each set so they were different.
This image was inspired by a resin sculpture called Spellbound made some years ago that my wife has in her vast collection of Dragon related resin figures.

I don't think I ever told you how much I love this image, although I had the chance in a couple of different forums. The lighting, posing, and detail are fabulous, and the whole concept and realization. I work editing books, and some days I feel exactly like that guy up there, so it has a strong personal resonance for me too. Great stuff, Szark.

In terms of posing alone this is pretty spectacular render. Looking at it as a whole: big amount of details you've put in accompanied with a terrific lighting makes one hell of an image.Β

This is so much beyond wonderful, I don't even know where to start. The composition is fantastic, the lighting is perfect and the details are delightful. The poses are natural and the whole scene is both mysterious and intriguing. I want to know who these characters are and what their story is. This is what 3D should be all about, I think. Bravo. Once again.Β

Thanks Lulu. Cool will you be posting it on DA
I think this is where I differ from some...I don't find it trying at all. Hell I had to repose 4 EasyPose chains 3 times to get the look I wanted.

Fantastic scene! So many little details. It struck me as looking like a Terry Pratchett book cover!

Thanks Simon
Oh man I had fun making this. Also using props I hadn't used since I bought them 4 years ago eg; Mage Tower. Yes I had to buy a clothing set but I redeemed my PC monthly coupon, first time in a year,Β and had some store credit left so it didn't cost me a thing. I didn't realise I had some many books.

Thought I recognisd the Mage Tower.Β Having fun is a lot of the point, so good to hear; I think a lot of the renders I have done that I think are amongst my better ones tend to be the ones I had fun setting up.Β I think I have a few books, but not, perhaps, as many as you!

Yeah I have always promised myself it things are not fun I will leave well alone. Well apart from housework.
