Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 8 Female Template
Ellie Hair
Distraction Dress
SYCI Confetti Wall
Daz3d and HDRI Lighting Background
Nungle Pool 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 2 to 6 hours per render.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
