Autumn Leaves - Beauty of Woman's Body Contest - WEEK #196
This render is an entry to the Beauty of Woman's Body Contest - WEEK #196
Thank you to @axeman and World of Xpilar for hosting this contest.
Autumn and winter are my favorite times of year…especially the leaves as they change colors and cover the ground with different shades of orange, yellow and brown.

Started with a Genesis 8 Female Template.

Added hair.
Added a wooded environment.
Gave the environment and the model color and texture.
Added falling leaves.
1st Render - Pre Photoshop: I took out the ugly guardrail.
Post Photoshop Render: Increase the exposure of sunlight on the trees, leaves and on her back.

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Shirley Lee G8.1F Female Template

SYCI Confetti Cyclone
In Summary:
- I start out with a model template and morph the body physically.
- I put the body into a position, change facial expressions, add makeup, dress the model, add skin texture, props, etc…
- I either can embed the character into the background or wrap the environment around the character, then add lighting and camera settings, like depth of field.
- Rendering times can take 10 minutes to 2 hours per render.
- Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere, creating depth of field, etc…)
Stay frosty people.
