Description
When the elven princess is suddenly ambushed by a band of orcs, her bodyguard quickly springs into action coming to her defense....
This image is the result of a rather lengthy exercise in better learning DAS Studio 4, the Genesis figure....and its clothing and posing. I am uploading now it so I will stop continuously tinkering with it. This is my first multi Genesis figure scene, and I learned a few things:
1. The autofit tool is great for fitting V4 and M4 clothing to Genesis, but once it does it, you lose all movement morphs for the clothing.
2. V4 and M4 poses sometimes work on Genesis, sometimes they produce very strange results. DAZ has just released a tool that will convert M4 and V4 poses for Genesis and it should come in very handy, but I haven't tried it yet. In general, however, posing Genesis from scratch is not as difficult as it is with the generation 4 figures.
3. Mesh smoothing is great for dealing with movement and poke throughs in clothing, but it can really slow things down when you have multiple characters clothed with Genesis clothing. Best to turn it off once you clothe your character and then turn back on before rendering.
4. The Genesis male lacks a very important male part, but if you try to add M4 genitals, the autofit tool treats them like a piece of clothing and produces highly unacceptable results that cannot be shown on Renderosity! I did learn a quick PS trick to give the poor fellow the appropriate shape in his trousers!
All in all it was fun learning new things and I hope you like the image. Thanks for viewing and your comments...I appreciate your support!!
Nice detail in full size, feel free to ZOOM!

DS is too complicated for my understanding but, you, you are a master where it is concerned and your images are always a pleasure for the eyes.
Good composition. Multi-figure scenes are always a handful. Thanks for the technical background info. The Autofit tool stripping the morphs away is a real bummer.
Exellente creation.
wonderful characters and image
Great scene
Une très belle scène avec de très beau personnages! Great work
Excelente meu amigo, concepção e realização maravilhosa, aplausos (5)
Good luck with the Studio 4 Genesis learning curve. Great results so far. Thanks for comments for "Reflected Beauty". I repost some of my older renders under Seriousdreamer sometimes.
Wonderful image and work.
An epic tale and image Marco. Amazing art!
Wow.
Fantastic characters and work!! Magnificent scene!

Most excellent image, superb dynamic poses, expressions, composition...It's great!
Awesome scene and characters, outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful render and interesting explanations.
Really beautiful scene and cool story!
Maybe you should get the 4th Problem with a bulge-magnetic release. This has proven to be highly effective even at M4. A beautiful picture is because you have succeeded!
Most excellent scene !
Great scene and render I think I need to play with it more lol, love the poses and thanks for the tips your learnt doing this scene!!
I would come to her defense to lol, nice work
LOL! Working with the new posing tool myself as we speak, my friend. It's mildly challenging at first, but once you get the hang, it's pretty cool. And yeah, V4/M4 to Genesis poses are always a bit wonky, which is why I'm working on fixing some of that now. ;) And yeah, the thing with the AutoFit tool & losing the morphs KILLS me! But this image turned out really, really wonderful!
Perfect artwork!!
Outstanding scene!...the action is turely awesome...
Nicely posed and an excellent creation.
spectacular, makes me want to dig out my dice!
Nice action. great
VERY BEAUTIFUL RENDER: Sorry for the short comment today, but I feel not very well since saturday.
This is wonderful, Marco, and your tinkering really paid off in a fabulous image. I love all three poses and you can tell the middle lady sounded the alarm that brought the other two to battle or defense pose. Great lighting and thank you for sharing your experiences about the pluses and minuses of DAZ and Genesis.
