Description
I don't know a cabriole from a pas de chat, but I copied this pose from a photo that I liked. If there are any ballet experts out there, please let me know what he's performing here.This is my first finished render using Reality 4 and it's been a bit of a bumpy ride so far. It hasn't turned out very realistic, for some reasonβit's more like a hyperrealistic painting, but I quite like it anyway.
I used an IBL and a single mesh light. The blue colouring is actually a reflection of the IBL sky; there are no blue materials on the models! The character model is Brandon for G2M with custom morphs for the pose.
Updated with a bonus alternative render (using a completely different light setup)

Oh my God! Yes! I love this! Where did you get the tights for him? And YES please do more!

Thanks very much, Robert
Those tights were from Mall Girl for Genesis, but I couldn't get them to fit inside the shoes, so I cut the feet off the tights and painted his feet to match!

You should and if can make a suggestion, my fave ballet is *Romeo and Juliette* you could do a solo romeo without the juliette in the pic.

I will definitely look into that! If you come across a good photo please let me know.

lycramen.narod.ru/ballet9.jpg what do you think?, I'm thinking leave the top as is but make the legs one leg blue and one leg a pale yellow?

The pose is very fluid, while it's not normal for male dancers to wear that type of shoe. (Years of dance creeping on me. I apologize.) He makes me think he may be a dancer of the infamous Les Ballet Trockadero De Monte Carlo, who perform the women's parts of ballet.

Well those were the only shoes I could find, so they will have to do
Thanks for the comment on the pose. I'm usually lazy and use preset poses, but I surprised myself this time and managed to get it very close to the photo reference.

whatever he's doing he looks awesome at it and I guess he would look good at every pose.

I'd like to think so
Nice to hear from you again.

He sure does!
In fact, did you see teasers from my new project? I feel you would like them....Β

It could be a finishing position of a russian pas de chat - just before landing, or a temps leve, or part of a scissone de cote. Really depends on the direction of movement. The position he's in is not a position in ballet but could be a transitional movement. Regardless, well done. I've just started using Reality 4 also.

Thanks very much, Jon. I was thinking it might be in transition as I had no luck finding it. Pas de chat looked similar, but the legs seemed to be more bent than this, though as you say it could be on landing. I see the temps levΓ© has this same coupΓ© position however. I found about 3 photos in this almost exact position with different dancers, so I was thinking it must be a "thing".
I'm having another go at rendering this scene with completely different lighting to see if I can get a bit more realism into it.

It's called the mating dance and it's working on me
