Egret

I wanted to work on this all week and only got time for it today… Modelled the set in Amorphium. Rendered it in layers (background, plants, bird) in Poser. Drew background plants with Project Dogwaffle. Then combined the lot in Photoshop and played a little 🙂

This one is a nice mix of programs again. I posed the figure in Poser, imported into Vue where I had to work very hard on textures for the clothing and props. Vue took care of the landscape, plants and sky. I then took the render to Photoshop for retouching and special effects. The bubbles were rendered with Poser, using Poseworks’ Particles3 system, and composited into the image in Photoshop. And finally I used Picasa for a soft glow effect and a soft focus effect. And voila!

I figure she’s a North American elf, or manitou… or something.
