Started with a Genesis 8 Female Template.

Added a living room environment.

Added a couch.

After I created the model from the template, I added her to the scene.

1st Pre-Photoshop Render in Daz3D

Post Photoshop Render - Changed the hue to something lighter. Final Result.

Tools, assets and techniques used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 8 Female Template
Hotba Hair
WeightlessDress Clothes
Daz3D Lighting
M8 Luxury Loft In Manhattan Environment

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.
