Description
Just two simple portrait renders of my new character/model "Miriam". More to come soon...Miriam is based on skin textures for Ariana/Victoria 4, with several custom face/body morphs and tweaked hair textures. Since I do "baby steps" all the time while learning, the deviation from the original is rather concise.
What do you think?
DAZ Studio 3 + Reality 1.25 + Lux Render 0.8 + PS CS5 + about 4 hours composing & ~30 hours rendering altogether.

My jaw hit the floor after looking at this render. Very beautiful & realistic character! I Love her smile. Where can I get this "Miriam"

Thank you very much!
Well, at least the texture pack used in this render (Ariana for V4) can be purchased on daz3d.com, the DAZ Studio site, though it's been slightly modified. The morphs/adjustments to V4 for Miriam never left my hard drive.

I can't really remember the last time I've ever seen a natural looking smile in 3d renders...this would be one of them...expression wise I mean...

This is fantastic. If you ever wanted to render this in Blender Cycles with the SSS shader and maybe some cycles hair, and some materials for the eyes and teeth, I think you'd have a phenomenal portrait.

Should be a simple setup with just two Softboxes, iirc, one on the left side behind the camera and one of the right side (you can see the right one as a reflection in her eyes); but I have to look up the original scene file to be sure. On full body test renders with her I also used a four-Softbox-setup, with one upper and one lower light on each side.

I need to get myself a copy of Reality. I just see the neatest things done with it. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!
I never regret buying that plug-in; first and foremost I got rid of the "plastic" look of Daz's 3Delight renders early because of that.

Very nice, in fact the thumbnail really looked like a photograph!

very good job and great expression, especially the one smiling on the right. boy, ~30 hr rendering time, i don't know how people could stay sane with rendering times like that, especially to go that far and find out there was some flaws in the render lol. but really, it looks great and the skin looks exceptionally good as well.

Thanks a lot!
The rendering time of 30 hours is for both images, leaving "only" fifteen hours each.

Beautiful work! I particularly admire how perfectly you worked out her expression in the portrait to the right. I struggle so much with this and I have to salute your success here!!!
