Cute. I love creating poses and expressions for later use. I just got redoing a pile of them, re-rendering icons for them all etc. I also do couple poses like this then save a pose for each side.
That's what I do too, most of the time, but I get caught in a render-spree every few poses, and render the shit out of them ;)
Of the previous pose alone I did 9 renders ...
This here counts to over 20 :eek:, all slightly different, be it lights, slight pose variation, expression, cameras ...

I have a habit of saving each scene before I render them so if anything goes wrong, I don't lose any work. Different pose, different scene save filename.

anyone have Idea How I can Improve This Render. View attachment 18011
Brighten it up a little bit? Or maybe add some color. I can tell it's a work in progress, since you canceled the render long before there were enough iterations. You definitely need more light, especially if someone is viewing from a phone. Renders look much darker on a phone, and I'm viewing from a PC.

I do also save a scene, but just the "base", then do pose-variations and save just the additional poses, so it is easy to create some sort of "timeline" from one pose to another, without having to load the whole scene every time.
So, generally, there is one scene and x-sum of poses to that. If I do dforce, I usually save that in its own scene.

The part that was "going wrong" with my initial post, was my habit of backing up my render & scene-dirs to an external source every now and then and pulling the latest files from its original network share to be locally available on the daz-machine. I do that with a batch-script mirroring using robocopy or rsync and let that run in the background while having the daz-session, so most of the time, my dirs are in sync.
Problem was, I was not attentive enough. I initially write and load the scene & pose-files to the network-share, and do not have them locally until I sync again. This time, I unfortunately set my net-share as target, and therefore the additional new files were purged. And had also not been backuped, as it was also running ... from the netshare to backup.

Long story concerning no real problems, just five poses and one scene for nothing. :cool:

I like that blurriness to some degree, it gives a kind of "cheap camera/dirty lens" effect. Would not do the entirety of renders that way, but in this case, I like it!
Still testing the waters. Being gone for over a year, I need to remember stuff. That was an accident though, I wanted the blurry effect, but not EVERYWHERE.

However, I'm not a fan of clinically clean renders. I do want to emulate photographs with my renders. Though I mostly lean towards polaroid 669/instax type of renders/post processing. That one looks quite older.

This for example, is something I'm much more happy with, (not for the frame, lol) because to the best of my ability with iray and PS, it follows 669's rules. (average estimate of lines per inch for render resolution, proper grain simulation, ISO, color tone etc.) But there's no way in hell a polaroid with a 669 would take such a dark image. So..I get one thing right, a few things wrong, every step of the way.

Looks really good and now i understand your approach.

But what is this?
