Description
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. A holiday portrait of the Valenzia for today.
This is something of a followup rendering to 'Just Say No To Mistletoe' which I created some three years ago. As with many works, neither that nor this rendering started out quite the way I intended. I had a much broader scene in mind when I started out this time. But I rather liked the look of the close up when I started playing with the Face camera. Valenzia has quite a beautiful face and Bice did an excellent job creating her skin textures. Kudos!
More Christmas shopping for me I'm afraid. Have a great weekend my friends and I hope to stop by your galleries at least once or twice before the 25th.
And keep watching this space!
Freebies
My thanks for freebies goes to the following good people: Bice for the Valenzia character. Adorana for the Leonlin Hair for Victoria 3. smallspace for the Noble Fir Christmas Tree. pangor for the Christmas Wreath. Mechanismo for the Rose. ape50 for the Church Bohemia 18 - 19 Century DAZ for Victoria 3 Other credits: Valenzia's eyes are from Sunsirae for V3 by Giana. Valenzia's nose ring and ear studs come from DAZ3D's Victoria 3.0 Piercing Pack
Some Technical Details
Render Settings: Raytrace bounce: 4 Irradiance caching: 90 Pixel samples: 4 Min. shading rate: 0.30 Post filter size: 2 Post filter type: sinc HDRI optimized output is set. No gamma correction Lights: 1 Spot Light using ray traced shadows (2.0, 1.2). The light is pointed at (see Object menu) Valenzia's head. Colour is a soft yellow at 77% intensity. Map size 1024 1 Diffuse Light (no shadows) set to white at 44% intensity, with the OfficeDesk.jpg IBL probe filter that comes with Poser 6 in the textures runtime. I do not activate environmental ambient occlusion when setting up the IBL feature of the diffuse light. Map size 1024. As before, I utilize the ambient occlusion nodes for materials. In addition, there are about twenty other coloured point lights in the tree and wreath. Their end distances are about 30 inches and an intensity of 40%. Shadows are turned off for all of these accent lights - rendering would take weeks otherwise. Magnets: I also parented a small magnet onto Valenzia's nose ring. With a magnet zone made small, I used the force field to distort the skin around the nose where the ring makes its piercing.
