<span style="font-size:14px;">So, since I started this topic, I also should start with a pic.... <br /> <br /> <b>Ravenbelle Von Blackraven</b> (see my <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/posfan-ap930-list.html">gallery</a>) <br /> <br /> <a href="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/vampirbeforeafter.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/vampirbeforeafter.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size:10px;">Click image for bigger version</span> <br /> <br /> Highly postworked to bring out the colors, overall around 30 layers of light/dark overlays, hue/saturation, color dodge/burn, curves.</span>

Great topic Posfan <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> !! I'll show soon the postwork of one of my pictures <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/redembarrassed.gif" alt="" />

Yes, great topic <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> unfortunately most of the times I delete the original renders and just keep the final one <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/redembarrassed.gif" alt="" /> <br /> but I'll search to see if I find some, or when I do my next one I'll keep it <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

I found this one, (no cleared the recycle bin) this one was not meant to be a "final work", it's one of the test renders I do trying skin, eyes, lips, hair shaders but because I liked the way she looked, imo I see her somehow sexy and simple, with a self ignored glamor <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> (how hard is to explain this things with my english <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> ) and this is what I wanted to enhance, but as it's a very simple render, I decided to keep it simple, so what a I did is created 3 copy layers of the original in GIMP ( I use GIMP most of the times) and kept the original one just in case, the lower one of the 3 is untouched the mid one I apply a selective Gaussian blur, and clear the areas I want to keep sharp, the upper one I apply a very high Gaussian blur, then use the levels tool to enhance the lights then another gaussian blur, and set to screen, played with the opacities of the layers, combine the layers then final gamma correction, contrast and saturation, all this for creating what I call a subtle glamorous soft blur <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

The outline was a normal red and then I used the color burn tool to darken the edges and other parts. <br /> <br /> Reg. software I switch between Photoshop 7 and Paint Shop Pro 9. I'm better in using PSP, since I haven't found the time to fully master PS. But some things I tend to use in PS since they are easier to do there than in PSP. <br /> <br /> The layers are only so much cause I tend to work in parts. Like only the hair, only the red bra, the gloves etc. The hair eg is highly brightened and if I've done a complete layer this way, her face would be almost white and the colors of her outfit would look faded and dull. But I usually merge layers when I'm happy with a result.

Great topic choice Posfan! <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> I look at postwork as a useful; but not entirely nessesary step in the creation of 3D images. I like to get as much done in the originating application (This helps me to learn it's strengths & weaknesses, and also gives me the opportunity to try 'render styles' that I otherwise would not) before I even consider using Photoshop, Painter, or any 2D image editor. Because of this thinking; my usual use of Photoshop is for repairing 'poke-through', or modifying color, contrast, or gamma levels. <br /> <br /> Also due to this thinking, I do not save my Photoshop 'actions', and I rarely save custom brushes, or patterns. I have found that by not saving these 'timesavers', I am forced to look at each image as a new and separate artwork. <br /> <br /> <br /> To create this image, I used: <br /> <br /> 1 Poser 5 render (almost 'final' quality), to check textures, and lighting before final rendering. I can use this render to help adjust the model's skintone. (see item 1 below.) <br /> <br /> 1 'final quality' render: in this case I notice a few things that I don't like; so I start planning for the postwork session. <br /> 1.] model's skin tone is too 'orange'. <br /> 2.] dynamic dress has poke-through on model's left hip. <br /> 3.] space between wall and floor. (Oops... I intended to fix that in Poser...) <br /> 4.] camera's 'roll angle' (it seems like a camera angle from the 1960's <br /> Batman TV series... heheh. <br /> 5.] scene appears 'flat'; depth of field is very low. <br /> 6.] poke-through on hair. <br /> <br /> <br /> Once in Photoshop: <br /> <br /> 1.) Paste 'pre-final' image to new layer; changed blending mode to 'color'. This will help control the "orangeness" of the skintones. <br /> <br /> 2.) Selected and filled space between wall & floor. Added a new layer, then airbrushed 'shadows' into the seam between wall & floor, to help add depth to the scene. <br /> <br /> 3.) Used clone & smudge tools to remove poke-thru from clothing and hair. I then erased the corrected sections from the copied layer. <br /> <br /> 4.) Used the 'blur tool' to de-focus the wall, chair, and floor behind the model. I used different opacity settings, to simulate different distances from the camera. <br /> <br /> 5.) Make slight adjustment to hue & saturation of 'background' layer, and slight contrast increase to copied (color) layer. <br /> <br /> 6.) Created new layer, then used clone tool to add hair highlights from 'pre-final render'. (My previous color corrections, had caused the hair to appear too dark...) <br /> <br /> 7.) Add signature; skew transform it to match angle of floor/wall seam. <br /> <br /> 8.) Flatten layers; rotate image -3 degrees. I decided to not crop the rotated image, I'm not sure why; but I kind of like the look. <br /> <br /> 9.) Slight contrast increase of flattened image. <br /> <br /> 10.) Saved psd, and jpg versions of flattened image. (I used photoshop's 'save for web' feature for the jpg files.) <br /> <br /> <br /> {After viewing and considering this image for a few hours, I think that i could re-render the scene, and get a better 'final quality' image. If I do re-render this scene, I will probably attempt to get Poser to add the Depth of Field too; I usually don't like to do this in Poser, because of the large increase in render time; but some times, it is needed.} <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/happy8.gif" alt="" />

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/redembarrassed.gif" alt="" /> <br /> I always post the images in the wrong order... <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/dash2.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/happy8.gif" alt="" />

My latest pic: BeachBabe (see my <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/posfan-ap930-list.html">gallery</a>) <br /> <br /> <a href="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/beachposycomp.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/beachposycomp.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size:10px;">Click image for bigger version</span> <br /> <br /> As one can see, I first needed to touch up some poke thru. Unfortunately the crop top doesn't come with morphs and even with XD fit morphs it makes trouble (due to Posybelle's bodyshape). Hair also hasn't enough morphs, so it partly stucks in the chest on the right side. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/sad.gif" alt="" /> <br /> Therefore I rendered 4 versions of this pic. <br /> - the one seen above <br /> - one with a fixed top on the right side <br /> - one with a fixed arm on left <br /> - one only with the hair <br /> <br /> Postwork: <br /> - Combine all the renders to achieve the correct look <br /> - Setting up 2 layers, one with the dark parts, one with the light parts, set to overlay and different opacity. <br /> - adjusting colors and curves <br /> - merging all layers. <br /> and now comes the paint part (around 70 layers) <br /> - using white to paint the highlights of her body, gaussion blur at 12 applied, setting layer to luminosity, playing with opacity. <br /> - the smaller the pencil size the smaller the gaussian blur <br /> - dark parts were painted with brown and set to multiply <br /> - after all that was done, adding a background <br /> - merging all layers <br /> - use of a special basic enhance action to bring out the colors even more <br /> - adding frame, title and sig <br /> <br /> original size is double the size of the one in my gallery.

My latest pic: Winter Kiss (see my <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/posfan-ap930-list.html">gallery</a>) <br /> <br /> Actually it's a revised version of an old 2005 render. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/winterkissbefaft.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/winterkissbefaft.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size:10px;">Click image for bigger version</span> <br /> <br /> Pretty much the same technique as above mentioned. This just shows one more picture. <br /> <br /> First is the original Poser render <br /> Middle one ia taken into PS <br /> - one layer with dark parts set to overlay <br /> - one layer with light parts set to screen <br /> - adjusted color layer made from screen layer <br /> - adjusted curves layer made from screen layer <br /> - result taken into PSP for overpainting <br /> Last one is the finished overpainted pic <br /> - 15 layers of white painting, with gaussian blur and opacity added, set to luminosity <br /> - 4 layers of white painting, with gaussian blur and opacity added, set to color dodge <br /> - eyes and lips got a saturation boost <br /> - rose makeup added per new color + opacity layer <br /> - hair in the back had some gaps ;therefore on a new underlaying layer the gaps were cloned and filled <br /> <br /> Final was put on a wintery background and got a color dodgewith opacity layer on top with some snowflakes

Well unfortunately I already trashed the original on this one but literally everything but the girl, sword and the dragon is done in post work. The rocks were composited in one layer from a photograph which I modified hue and saturation, contrast and lightness, and color balance on. The background is completely done in photoshop with a gradient layer, brushes and a flood filter (by Flaming Pear.) The seagull is painted in as well by just a few round brushes and a little artistry. All of the plants are done with various brushes I have as well. The blood was done with simple round brushes and setting the opacity down to 50%. Everything was blended together with a 10 point blur brush set to 14% strength. <br /> The main characters were done in two layers. One layer had most of the figures erased and a drop shadow added to create the ground shadows without having a shadow show up on the upper half of the figures.

Just GREAT, friends <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> This is turning out as a VERY INTERESTING TOPIC , thank you <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/notworthy.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for your support. I think I'm falling asleep.

Aerysoul has started an interesting thread about postworking lighting: <br /> <a class="post-url" href="http://www.aerysoul.com/board/showthread.php?p=27754" target="_blank">http://www.aerysoul.com/board/showthread.php?p=27754</a> <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/cool.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/happy8.gif" alt="" />

<span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span><span style="color: black;"> </span> <br /> <br /> Posfan and others really put a lot of work into their post-render editing, and it pays off for them in great results. For the lazier among us (like me) a lot can be still be accomplished with less effort using just five simple layers. I read about the basics of this technique on some photography website a while ago and often use it on my images. I use PaintShopPro, so my brief descriptions apply to that program but if you use Photoshop or something else the process is very similar. <br /> <br /> 1) Open your render in the image editor program and fix any obvious flaws like using a clone brush to cover body parts sticking through clothes, using a soften brush on sharp edges and Posette's collar/shoulder joint, etc. <br /> <br /> 2) Duplicate the original image layer four times so you have five layers all together. <br /> <br /> 3) On the bottom layer, flood fill the whole area with white (RGB 255) <br /> <br /> 4) On the second up from the bottom layer, make a sepia-toned version. In PSP for example, on the Title Menu go to Adjust>Hue and Saturation>Colorize and briefly play around with the color/saturation level to make the layer look like an antique photograph or old drawing. <br /> <br /> 5) On the third layer up from the bottom, leave the original image unmodified (except for whatever you did in step #1 of course) <br /> <br /> 6) On the fourth layer up from the bottom, make a greyscale image. In PSP for example, from the Title Menu go to Adjust>Hue and Saturation>Hue/Saturation/Lightness; leave the hue and lightness at zero but set the saturation to -100. <br /> <br /> 7) On the fifth layer up from the bottom (i.e. the top) flood fill the whole area with black (RGB 0). <br /> <br /> Now just play around with the opacity and/or blend mode of the layers to get many interesting results. The image below shows only a tiny number of possibilities (sorry if it's a little hard to see, I was trying to keep the file size down; the original image in (a) was around 600x600 pixels). <br /> <br /> a) This is what the original image looked like. Nothing special here, it's just a stage scene I use for Posette to try on clothes, so it's overlit so I can clearly see what's going on. <br /> <br /> b) I made a fair looking black and white image by leaving the greyscale layer at 100 percent opacity (blocking off everything below it) and adusting the black layer opacity to enhance the dark areas of the image <br /> <br /> c) The opacity of the black (top) layer was pretty high and set to overlay, the greyscale was turned off (I think, I should have kept notes as I went along) <br /> <br /> d) I personally tend to like soft and desaturated-looking colors. Here the black layer was off, the greyscale was at low opacity, and the middle layer (original image) was set at low-medium opacity, allowing the sepia layer to show through. <br /> <br /> e) I made a freehand selection around just Posette and then deleted just the part of the image with her figure in the black layer, the greyscale layer, and the sepia layer. Then I set the black layer at near zero opacity and played with the opacity of the middle three layers (especially by turning down the middle layer) to make a sort of ghostly Posette for Halloween <br /> <br /> f) Continuing with the modification in step (e) where I cut the part of the image with Posette out of most of the layers, here I put the top black layer at a lowish opacity, left the greyscale layer at almost full opacity, and put the middle (original image) layer at 100 percent opacity resulting in an image where Posette seems to spring to life or jump out of the drab scene behind her. <br /> <br /> This method allows for very fast results. It didn't take much longer to make the six frames a-f than it did to assemble the overall picture set posted here. Although I'm definitely not saying anyone should speed through their work (after all, you want to make something you can be proud of and that takes effort), if you're at that point where you're looking for something from your image but don't exactly know what that something might be this is an efficient way to experiment. <br /> <br /> Endosphere

This topic could need a little fresh air...... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Making of Autumn Winds - see final image <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/album_showpage.php?pic_id=5518">in my gallery here</a> <br /> <br /> This is a redid as I used the wrong filesize for printing. The pose is slightly different to the original. I worked on the glossary and used P6 Jessi and with the right skin, she can look gorgeous. <br /> <br /> It's part of <a class="post-url" href="http://poserfan.deviantart.com/journal/6635174/" target="_blank">The 365 Theme Challenge</a> - <b>Theme </b>Leaves!! <br /> <br /> <a href="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/Makingof.png" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/Makingof.png" alt="Image" title="Image" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size:8px;">click to see bigger version</span> <br /> <br /> Let's see <br /> <br /> 1. the original Poser render including Jessi's huge forehead <br /> 2. painted hair behind her head: needs to be darker than the front hair <br /> 3. front hair in a nice red color <br /> 4. she's too pale for that hair and the background I've chosen, so I duplicated the original, deleted the light parts and set that layer to multiply at 100% opacity <br /> 5. she looked better but still too light. So I duplicated the original again, this time deleting the dark parts and set that layer to overlay with 80% opacity - perfect!! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> <br /> 6. adding my background - looks kinda dull <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> <br /> 7. rendered Scatter leaves mix - 2 different layers <br /> 8. added one leaves layer behind the figure and used gaussian blur at 30% <br /> 9. added the second leaves layer on top of the other one and used gaussian blur at 12% <br /> 10. added frame and title - et voila!!! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/ayeah.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Edited for typos <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/connie_ashamed.gif" alt="" />

Making of The Harbinger- see final image <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/album_showpage.php?pic_id=5536">in my gallery here</a> <br /> <br /> Using Postwork to change the bodyshape of Posy <br /> <br /> <a href="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/makingof1.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/makingof1.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" /></a> <br /> <br /> Shall we? <br /> <br /> The first is the straight out of Poser render: Posy with a nice face and bodymorph and a V2 Skin. Due to smoothing polygons and using displacement in addition to this morph, there are lots of black spots. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_eh.gif" alt="" /> Healing brush to the rescue! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_whistle.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> 1. Touching up the black spots with healing and clone brush <br /> 2. Fixing of elbows, knee and shoulders <br /> 3. The Liquify filter is your friend!! Use it!!! The result is Posy with a Dita Von Teese corset figure. <br /> <br /> on to the face.... <br /> <br /> <a href="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/makingof2.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/sammy--jo/posetteforever/makingof2.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" /></a> <br /> <br /> 1. Cloning the eyebrows and then liquify them to the new shape - same for eyelids <br /> 2. As you see I rendered her without lashes in order to change the eyeshape and eyelids since I knew this texture makes trouble in some areas. I rendered a separate Lash figure which I'll add later after I applied some eyeshadow. <br /> 3. Again the Liquify filter is my friend - for the eyes and lips which were cloned before. <br /> 4. the cheeks have some strange crease, but with cloning they look fine now. <br /> 5. in the last pic you see the added eyeshadow and lashes. <br /> 6. I gave her some new irises and pupils since the liquified ones were to lifeless. Also the lips got some overlays with a new bumpier look <br /> 7. the usual adjustments of skinglow in order to make her fit to the background. <br /> 8. The jewels got to dark so I dodged them and then used color replacement to gave them a lighter look of the original color. <br /> <br /> In order to finish that piece, Posy got hair, wings and something to cover her nakedness - but not too much!! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Edited for typos <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/connie_ashamed.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:8px;">Note to self: Don't write tutorials at 3am in the night/morning!!!</span>

Ah...; great tutorial! <br /> <br /> Very straight forward directions; seems easy to follow along. <br /> {I still use an old version of Photoshop; so I can't liquify... but I just may try this anyway.} <br /> <br /> Thank you for sharing the re-created image, and your production technique. <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/happy8.gif" alt="" />

without Liquify it will be difficult to change the shape easily. <br /> <br /> You should grab the free version of Corel Paint Shop 10 - it has a similiar filter using a grid/wire frame to change shapes.
