Description Prints: daniel-eskridge.artistwebsites…

A polar bear stands upon a large grey stone during a snowstorm somewhere in the wilderness of northern Canada. The wind blows and the snow swirls around the great animal. Through the haze of the blizzard, jagged snow capped peaks of a rocky mountain range can be seen rising into the sky.

The concept of a polar bear in a snowstorm is a bit of an artistic joke.  Typically, it means a white canvas or paper with nothing drawn or painted on it.  In other words, the artist has not done anything other than present a blank canvas.  Sometimes there may be three black dots to represent the eyes and nose, still minimum effort on the part of the artist.  I thought I'd have fun with the idea and make an actual scene of a polar bear in a snowstorm.

Tools used: Poser, Vue, GIMP

Thanks for looking!

Wow. You did a really good job with this! I just love it. Great job on colors, depth, camera angle, all of it. Nice work! The fur looks like it was done dynamically in the hair room?

deskridge In reply to Childe-Of-Fyre [2014-04-08 13:56:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!  The fur was done using a DAZ studio plugin called LookAtMyHair.  The problem I have with the hair room in poser is that the hair will not export to Vue.

Childe-Of-Fyre In reply to deskridge [2014-04-08 20:35:08 +0000 UTC]

I thought that might have been the tool used, but I did not see any mention of DS in your comments about the workflow, so the next guess was Poser's hair room.

I think it looks great, personally. And the Poser hair tends to look a bit like tinsel, as well. Either way, it came out wonderfully!

Is the plugin hard on the resources to use? I grabbed it some time back when it was on sale, but I only have 1GB of RAM to work with, so I've been holding off on using it until I can upgrade my memory. I know the Poser hair room is very memory-hungry... is this plugin as well? I'm mainly just curious.
