Using Daz3d Studio and Photoshop

Started with a Genesis 8 Female Template.

Added the semi-completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added clothes.

Added a sword.

Added hair, eyebrows and eyelashes.

Added texture, light and color.

Added background, with fireflies.

Added makeup.

Added dirt and blood.

Added more dirt.

First render.

Decided to add fire on the sword and armor.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
GR Battle Gear and sword
Mega Updo 3 Hair
Infinity Cove Environment
G9 Full Adventure and Battle Blood Shell
SY Confetti Ceiling
Daz3d and HDRI Lighting

In Summary:

• I start out with a model template and morph the body physically.
• I put the body into a position, change facial expressions, add makeup, dress the model, add skin texture, props, etc…
• I either can embed the character into the background or wrap the environment around the character, then add lighting and camera settings, like depth of field.
• Rendering times was about 14 hours.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
