Description
A pause in my pinup renders.I tried to create a more traditional render, with background and all... I think I need to practice more with decors
Anyways, here it is. Hope you like it.

Your sense of composition and drama are definitely in there, but those mats for the walls are horrific. I think with better building models to position your model around, you'd have much better work, and certainly stronger. All in all, what you had control over in this image, you did very, very well. Keep going with this, with better background models. I think you have something here!

I too think I rushed this piece a bit... I should hav replaced the wall textures... I will remember it.

I like this alot, how did you blur the background? It adds so much to the feeling of space in the scene. I wanna learn!

Well, there are three ways to do it...
The hard way: use the camera settings under your 3D app to define the out of focus scope: this will increase the render times greatly.
Second way: if your app can output a z-depth map you can use it in photoshop to create a fake lens blur, check online tutorials.
Third way (cheating): the one I used

Hmm I don't have photoshop - is the lasso and gaussian blur you talked about a photoshop thing? *sigh* I'm sorry but I have a hard time following tutorials because I need to visualize things or do them to learn them - so unless a tutorial has a lot of specific pics I get lost easy and I'm so new to this stuff I feel like I need a class!

Well,
The gaussian blur exists in any applisation... Gimp also has a gaussian blur (I do not know how it is called, you should do a little search on the net)
The lasso tool is the freehand selection tool. In short, you use the selection tool to select the parts of your image that are far (in my case the background and the end of the tunnel) and then you blur only that part of the picture.

You don't know how much that helps, ty!

I really like the feel you have gotten with this mate, it's come up really well. The only thing that detracts from it (for me) is her right hand doesn't seem to be holding the sword properly.
I like what you've done with the DOF by blurring the background through the tunnel too.
Top work.

Now that you mention it, it is true it looks weird... well, I will be careful next time.
Thanks for the feedback!

No probs at all mate.
That sort of thing tends to be my Achilles heel as I'll see something like that in one of my pieces and spend ages getting it to look right - usually means I miss something else until I finish it and then have to go back and fix that too. lol

You are welcome.

Ooo, it looks very good, I like the layout.
This sort of scene doesn't need much in the way of decor though, you may want to try an interior shot if you want to practice.

Interior shot... noted. I will start working on it.
