Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

Whatever your pleasure this holiday season I hope you will enjoy it to your fullest! I know I will! it’s been insanity for us- between moving, celebrating and shopping it’s all crazy. but as I lie here, our tree next to me in our lovely new house, wrapping paper and presents everywhere, christmas music playing…

Nude of the Week – Standpoint Daz Render

Wavelength Daz|Studio and Realityrender Reality is a new bridge for Daz|Studio and Lux Render. it’s a physically based render engine, which means that it calculates the actual physics behind the lights, reflections and the way that light actually works. it produces outstanding effects but means that you have to re-learn everything you knew about how Daz lighting works and go back to original photographic lighting concepts. this is pretty cool, and I can see so many applications for artists who work mostly in still life. it creates volumetric glass, proper metallic reflections, and wonderful realistic water effects. sadly it also requires a pretty powerful machine – my computer just wasn’t up for anything more complex than this!
