Description
Just doing a bit of playing with lighting tonight....
A little while back, Tara (auntietk) posted a wonderful photo of a window HERE. I commented about what a wonderful background it would make, and a few days later, it was waiting for me in my inbox!
After a couple of really intense weeks at work, and a few network problems, I've finally had time to play with this wonderful photo a bit! Thanks for letting my play with this, Tara!
The Character is 'Honey' by Vex. I set up the lighting on Honey while looking at Tara's photo on my other computer. It's a fairly simple setup - only 4 lights. I was trying to simulate how she would look if she was actually there. Custom mat for her tank top by me.
We're going to be heading for the Arkansas Ozarks next week on vacation! I'll be taking the laptop, so I'll be able to keep up with everyone, and post a few photos of our trip - so in a sense I'll get to take all my Rendo friends along ;-)
I'll also be doing a bit of work on Chapter 2 of the TNA Girls.
Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments, ratings and faves! You guys ROCK!

Outstanding work, Rod! the lighting is excellent. Tara is going to love this one!
Wonderful...Really nice work my friend
Awesome!! The lighting looks Natural and the intergration is flawless!! Excellent work Rod!!
Something quite different and a great experiment in technique. The way the mottled light plays on her jeans is exceptional well done. And her shoulders hang naturally.
wow! that's freakin' awesome rod. that is superb lighting, never ever could do lighting this killer. beautiful all my friend, i might need some lessons. steve bty, love that ac/dc shirt
Superb mix work! nice lighting, too!
My Wife would kill me if I took a computer with us on vacation - lol ... I acturally have spent way too much time on the computer this last month, my eyes even hurt - lol ... cool picture, I too have always liked those blocks of glass in windows - don't know why, but ever since I was a kid I loved them - lol
You did a wonderful job of combining the two separate media. Outstanding.
awesome work in every aspect.,masterly lighted.5++.
When it comes to lighting and making the 3D character match the photo background flawlessly, you are number 1, Rod. Bravo!
Your "Lighting Experiment" is just looking perfect dear friend! Have a wonderful weekend, hug’s Ute
WEll, that's mighty kind of you to take us all along! I really love your lighting here, I have no idea how you pulled this off, but you definitely did!
Xcellent ambiance lighting!
Beautiful work!
I think it matches pretty well actually. I might have made her side nearest the window a touch brighter and the other side a touch darker but that's just me :)
Great Job on the lighting Rods and she looks beautiful!
Nice:-)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Rod! This came out GREAT! Your light angle looks pretty accurate and the scene is excellent. Going on vacation eh? Hope to see some pictures of the Ozarks. I've never been there ... yet.
WOW...Rob, this is a fantastic render my friend, gorgeous lighting, amazing work! ***********
Wowww!!! This is awesome! I'm going to send it to my friend whose window this is. He'll be totally impressed, as am I! He's an AC/DC fan, and likes to look at pretty girls. He'll never see that corner in his house the same way again! LOL! I just now saw this ... sorry to be so slow! Fantastic work ... the light on her jeans is amazing ... heck ... the whole light setup is perfect! You can use my work any time, my friend. Just say the word! :)
Perfecto Rod. The lighting picks up the light coming through the glass blocks and I am sure you don't often get to work with glass blocks these days. So good....
Nice image. You were right, the window does make a great background. Also, great job with implementing the figure to the photograph, the lighting fits just perfectly.
Beautiful work my friend.
Wow very wonderful work Rod this looks great lovely lighting and BG.. well done!!
Oh man Rod, I would say you nailed the technique. This scene is fantastic. The light effects are perfect. Great work buddy.
Nice work for just playing!
Love that window, fantastic lighting.
