I was pretty chuffed by feedback on my very simplistic Dystopia City Block renderings, so I thought that I would actually do something with the Dystopia objects. Unfortunately I had not saved my previous scene, so I had to start from scratch. I also thought that here was an opportunity to get back to one of the basic messages that I had intended for this blog, namely… anyone can
Hi all, I’ll be very brief today. In my previous travel/photography post (the one about Warwick Castle) I mentioned the benefits of photographing during the so-called Golden Hours (early morning or late afternoon). I also flippantly said that 3D digital artists should look at emulating this more often because the lighting in so many works is very bland.

To do so I had to figure out how to create appropriate curtains and I did so (as detailed in my previous post). Now the actual nude. Before I progress with this, let me just say that I tend
Hi folks, the tutorial
You may remember me saying that I wanted to create a scene of a nude in front of some rich red curtains. Well step 1 was figuring out the best way to create such curtains for DAZ Studio. Now I did investigate Blender (I promise I did Doris). Blender has this really cool cloth simulator. I watched a few YouTube videos on the topic and was very impressed. But as
