Description
I'm still working on putting all the pieces of the tutorial together. In the meantime here is a before and after shot.
The left is the raw Poser 7 render with basic lighting. The textures are all distorted (like the diamond on his chest), which Poser tends to do with heavy muscled figures.
The right is after considerable postwork in PS with all the little poser quirks corrected.

awesome
The right one is excellent, postwork brings a great render. Good job.
Significant difference in the positive, well done...
fantastic!
WOW! Yes, looks like a lot of post-work! When one studies the full sized image you see quite a bit of difference! Looking forward to you tutorial!
Very nice work, awesome post Raddar. keep-up the great work!.. CHEERs
Nice, I can't wait for the completed tut. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely Done - you have to view full image to appreciate all the subtle details. Great Job!
Thanks for the intro, Roy. I agree with the render imperfection. You did such a terrific work fine tuning the image in Photoshop.
well done! like your demostration on this roy. well created art from you always..
The shading is so much better in the final, it has a lot more of a 3d feel to it! Nice work and great posing too!
OUTSTANDING :-}
Impressive Photoshop tweeks!
Phenominal improvement in postwork over the raw render! Totally superb! Thanks for showing the comparison! It makes me appreciate your artwork all the more!
cool to see the process, excellent
Man, this is great, Roy! There's a world of difference in these - I think in most cases the Poser renders are a good starting point, but unless you have the knowledge of someone like bagginsbill and can make shaders do amazing things, postwork is a necessary part of the creative procedure. The shiny, satin-y, almost metallic look on the finished figure's cloting is most impressive. I'm looking forward to your tut! Excellent artwork, buddy!
Very impressive work! Thanks for sharing your process!
tell us more.
Verey cool! Amazing postwork!
Awesome.... adding the cape holder looks great.
He is a classic brilliant I love it !!!
Great finishing touches. It brings to the fore the small details that bring the character to life and give it definition . A very polished final render. Beautiful work!
excellent fix! great work you have done here
Fantastic work!!!
Wow, you do wayyyyy more PW than me! I'm just lazy I guess but it pays off for you!!
It's very nice, BUT, I don't think the Vision would like the fact that you outfitted him with yellow thongs. ( kinda high up on the hips for a man ) JMO
Aside from being a great looking Vision, it really is remarkable the difference you achieve in postwork! Very much looking forward to that tutorial!
