I did something a little different here. LOL, I say different, but it’s funny because it’s the same character, same concept as my last couple images. But, what’s different is, I rendered it with Mental Ray.
I had to RMA the motherboard of my Iray computer, the BIOS got corrupted somehow when I tried to update it to the latest version. That left me with nothing but my old computer. No DAZ Studio (the hard drive is already pretty much full without it) and no Iray. I did however plan for being without them and had exported this character from Daz Studio to play around with.
Anyway, this is the result of my “playing around.” I’m not very familiar with Mental Ray, when it comes to setting up shaders for it, I kind of… don’t really know what I’m doing LOL! But, I think it turned out interesting enough for me to post.
This is actually just one frame of the animation I did. I want to do more animation, it’s just wicked time consuming.
Render time: 8 hours.
Let me know what you think!
