Beautiful work.
Wonderful!
Thank you for your comments. The pose took possibly 15 minutes to set up using one of BBarbs' freebie poses available here on Renderosity as a starting point, and I did it before loading the background model. Then the final tweaks took an incredibly long time to do for what little movements there were - getting on for an hour. The ground didn't really show up when texture shaded, so the figure's final movements had to be adjusted using the iRay screen shading, which took 2 minutes to react to every movement of the figure even when only the lowest level of detail was visible. Then the render took 1hr 50 using my GTX 1060 gpu. That background scene is unbelievably heavy on the system. With 1 figure it took 5.9Gb of the gpu vRAM, so it just fitted in vRAM. Had it dropped out to CPU or I'd had a second figure it'd probably have taken 24hrs+ to render.
Wow! Your hard work had definitely paid off. A stunning and very photo-realistic image!
Thank you.
