Description This girl beat me up pretty hard.... seriously, I know that some people say that cleavage has a gravity like pull, but this girl's chest was a magnet for light.... every attempt I made to use subtle mesh lights, placed at strategic angles to gently illuminate her managed to produce the same result: Well lit body and chest, with nicely shadowed and defined cleavage and a face that was so deep in shadow that you'd think she was wearing a bag! It just wasn't acceptable.

In the end, I placed a very small mesh light, not much larger than her head, about six inches from her nose. The light is dialed WAY down in relation to the other lights in the scene, but it allowed me to get the shadows I desperately wanted across her body and maintain illumination in her face.

Rendered in LuxRender 1.2, composed in DazStudio 4.6, exported via Reality 2.5. Total render time of 24 hours, final quality of 1.3 kS/p. As always, comments welcome!

This one is really lovely. I really enjoy how the curves came out. This one looks like it was a tough one. I am not sure I have seen any others laying down. You actually managed to get the chest to pull down just enough to be more realistic. Hugs. Really nice work!

Really well rendered. Invest in Octane render and you could be doing this kind of render in about 20 minutes. Thats if you have a nvidia gpu.

I've looked at Octane several times, and yes, I run on an nVidia GTX 550, so I'm sure it would help. Sadly, it's got a price point that I just can't sell the wife on The render time doesn't bug me too much though, my workflow has tended to become: Build Scene, hit render, go to sleep, check it in the morning, go to work, come back and call it good

Yeah, the "WIFE" issue, had that a couple of times well when ever you get octane, let me know. And good rendering man. Your skill is showing.
