Description
Here's another one with the new Atmospheric Cameras at DAZ. Still playing & still learning...I literally spent all day on this one (so much for work today - HA!), and still can't get the @#$!^#& God Rays to work the way I want. Still I really love this new set & am determined to conquer it...Now some of you may look at this image and ask, why are the semi-God-ray-like thingies behind her? Answer: Because I couldn't get them to work any other way - LOL! Still, I'm posting this, not because I'm completely satisfied with it, but more because I'd love to hear your feedback & comments and see if I'm on the right track...I'm keeping up on the forum post over at DAZ about this, but I'd love to hear from anyone else who has played around with this & can offer any advice. :)
(and yes, this was postworked for colors/tone, contrast & brightness)

Beautiful post work and atmosphere! Love this image!
Well it did not dawn on me to ask, because I would assume the light rays would be outside the building, unless they were intended to radiate from her. I think it works well, the limited color, the simplicity of the set layout keep the focus on her and the light. There is an elegant softness to this work. It has a lovely subtle sensuality.
Don't know much about DAZ, but this render looks interesting!...hope to see it finished..
This is lovely - my first impression was of someone standing in the first light of dawn so I didn't wonder why the rays were behind her at all. Their direction really brings additional focus to your figure since they do have that radiating pattern, but they do it in a way that makes sense to me when I look at it. I very much agree with Brewgirl as well - the elegant softness is captivating.
outstanding!!
Bravo !!!!!Professional work!!!!
Very lovely and soft..beautifully done!!
So beautifully romantic! The composition is fantastic and the monochrome adds magic to the scene.
I haven't played with the atmospheric lights or I'd offer advice... if I was to play around with it and needed help, I would ask efron_241... a few years back for a year he was just playing with the lights - I suggest site mailing him.... the other thing, you have a building in this with a ver small window of seeing what is going on... it may take forever to render, but I'd put a woman in a cage and set it on a block with a floor - maybe a graphed floor to see if you can tell where these rays are coming from and ending.... You should end up with a pretty wild image, but the render may take a long, long time - lol... try it, would love to see you post it.
I love this Victoria is a so romantic scene!
All we need is Romeo and we would have the perfect scene-Stunning work.
wow one of your best, this also would look good if she was n a subtle sheer dress,+5
wonderful scene hugs
Fantastic scene and lighting... lovely image!
Beautiful image, gorgeous colours!
Fantastic composition! Love the colors!
excellent work
Great atmosphere! Very beautiful work!
dang nab hon, this is beyond masterpiece Victoria. 10+ wish i could achive superior lighting like that.
love it anyways
Gorgeous as is. Once you do get these cameras figured out, I expect to be completely mesmerized...
Very lovely image! I haven't installed D4 yet nor have I played with any lighting system per se other than what I create
Wonderful ambiance lighting!
Looks good to me. I only used Daz studio a long time ago. I can get Godrays in Vue but renders take quite a while and I have a pretty fast 64 bit computer. I got the free version they offered just recently. I may put is on my fastest computer. I am not looking forward to reinstalling everything. Also I would have to get all the DAZ files that I have always ignored. I do not know if it would be worth the effort. I understand the new DAZ Studio Pro has a pretty good lighting and rendering system. I know I was not much help. I think your render came out pretty darn good.
Wonderful lighting and its subtle lights fit the mood and atmosphere so well. Her outfit is beautiful.
~I have the atmospheric cameras but haven't tried them yet. If they prove to be workable, they have been a long desired addition to DAZ. I like the atmosphere you have created here...nice work!~
WOW...Such a marvelous looking image Victoria, marvelous pose and mood, precious work, the outfit is perfect!
At the left side, there are a background with a wonderful color and a nice girl with a lovely pose and a beautiful dress. For the right side, it's sure there is a problem, because it's really too dark. I also think the chest and the head look a bit too dark, unless you intended to do this way.
Wow, fantastic scene and so wonderful lighting, Bravo!!!
Very nice, tender and mystique. Well done 5+
