Description
Passenger: "Hey, just because the ATV can take the rockier path, that doesn’t mean we should!"
Driver: "Actually, that’s exactly what it means!"
==NOTES==
I’ve been wanting to use Summoner’s ATV for a while and thought the Rocky Flats set would be a good fit. I used the three colored infinite lights that came with the set, but wasn’t happy with how the lighting turned out*, so I fiddled with some art effects in Topaz Studio 2 and got a look I’m happier with.
* I’ve finally figured out why I don’t like using more than one infinite light: because what’s meant to be an outdoor scene ends up looking like it was lit on a soundstage rather than outside! You can get some cool effects using multiple infinite lights, esp. if they’re also colored, but that’s not a look I’d ever aim for in a daytime outdoor scene. For that I much prefer the look of a single infinite light with RayTraced shadows positioned as the sun and an IBL light that matches the environment (or an HDRI on a sphere instead if I were planning to enable IDL). If I need any supplementary lighting, like what photographers use, I’ll use a very low-intensity point light set to inverse linear with no shadows.
Rendered in August 2020 in Poser Pro 11 Firefly at 4000 × 2250 pixels, using direct lighting (three infinite lights that came with Rocky Flats) with Depth Cue atmosphere enabled. View full size on my blog.

Yeah IBL can be both fun and frustrating. Love the dusty atmosphere and the figures are posed so well. Never been on an ATV but not going off road with one is like never using the bed of a pickup truck to carry anything.

I bet it's making them thirsty, too! Next stop: the Outlanders Pub! (accessible only by ATV, of course ;-)

Looks like bumpy fun!

Lovely work and your take on lighting makes a lot of sense. Lighting is so important and not always a slam dunk to achieve.

It's wonderfully done my friend!
