That Freakin Learning Curve ***TLDR***
This render series with Mimi set me off on a lighting experiment.
Zero postwork: (99.9% of the renders I share have no postwork because I don't see ANY reason to spit-shine turds)
Get my skills up to where I feel comfortable enough, then tackle that hurdle is my rationale
*I created 5 renders but will only be showing renders 1,3 and 5.*
Render 1 illustrates what happens before any lights are introduced (using 3DL)
Render 3 is after I've introduced lighting and got it where I usually think is acceptably natural looking and KINDA sharp.
(still dark imo, but still learning)
Render 5 is after I'd tweaked the lighting in a way I never had before and then "face-palm" with the results.
I'm embarrased to mention what I did because it's a VERY simple adjustment...
Face-palm not because of the "overwhelming results", but her sports bra now looks a little more natural to my taste. BUT, the highlights in her hair disappeared when compared to render #3.
Ha haa, if I could have found a free leotard I may not have written this at all.
Still climbing this mountain of information and experience; enjoying every step !
