Few tips. Render your model in focus (disable depth of field). And try to set lighting similar to background you going to use. You should get a bit better results.Rendering usually takes me hours so I try rendering the model then add background in affinity photo may not be the best way but I got to work with what I have.

High quality renders can really take hours, while my record was 7-8 hours when I did Sarah's photo shoot. May I ask what hardware do you have and do you use the CPU Fallback feature?Rendering usually takes me hours so I try rendering the model then add background in affinity photo may not be the best way but I got to work with what I have.
And it is okay, take your time, play with this and you will get better and better.

You absolute LEGEND!Well, I done a little search and I honestly surprised myself! I didn't realize I had posted so many, but... I put together a list of links to posts I have done that included Scene Subsets of mine... I still can't get over how long this is! I am surprised to be honest! I obviously need a life!
Enjoy... (if you need anything specifically, just ask me, I'll either point you to the post where it is available or I will repost it, not a problem).

Try to disable it, then only the graphic card will be used for work. I went several times faster, but it depends on the specifications.

First I'll say, no complaints here. I'm just trying to help.
The 2 hours... 7200 seconds = 120 minutes = 2 hours (here's where that setting is on the render tab)
There's a lot of pixelation in Josy. As a quick example:
The background however is crystal clear. There are multiple options depending on your ultimate end need (even with a low end computer).
1. I assume you are scaling Josy up from a small render. Don't. If the main focus of your image only looks clean 1/4 scale, then release the image at 1/4 scale, not full scale. If others want to "create" the pixelation but scaling the image bigger then let them do it. But have your actual post be a clean image.
2. If you do want to release bigger, blur the background image you are inserting so it is degraded to match Josy. Having the background be clear and your model be blurry pulls the viewers focus away from your target.
3. Use an "upscaler." Google image upscaling and you can find online websites to do it.
4. Try sharpening the problem areas or running other image filters over it to clean it up.
Here's a transition image with a few quick variations on your original image as a sampling.
(original image / background blurred / upscaled-sharpened-soft light to Josy's face-downscaled / previous image but with only Josy's portion of the image having gone through the alteration process)

The last image in the above set as a jpg
I'll add that I upscaled and then downscaled because I do not have access to the original downscaled Josy. I upscaled to clean up the pixelation lines but wanted my final result back at the original scale. With a starting small version just doing the upscale would be the only part needed.

first time working with Vivienne's skin (for sage) and OMG what in god's forsaken name is this shit? and how do I get rid of it?
Look closely and you can see that scary shit in game, too. A lot of unnatural folds and creases for poor Sage.

Made something hotter than before. Sage morph is completely mine, but I used Gen 8.

I'm about to post a Sage pic myself, and I noticed this shit too. It's her ass cheeks on the texture itself. I took it into Photoshop and clone brushed over it.

It's where the skin texture wraps around the figure and joins up. If it is taken from a scan it quite often is screwed up at the edges and their very visible. Photoshop (or GIMP if you're cheap like me) will take that out
Not very good, but only took 3 minutes

see that was my first thought too. "must be where the seam is".
So I unwrapped her, and nope. the seam is lower... this seems to just be a crease made on purpose, in the normal map. to get some ambient occlusion, that only works when the model is standing, and lit a certain way...
And when you think people sell those for money...
Anyway, Photoshop it is.
thx everyone for you help
