Leave My Nuts Alone

I started on this scene back in January of this year but never got around to finishing it as I couldn’t figure out how and then my muse left me. Well, after purchasing Poser 13 today, my muse made just enough of an appearance to let me finally finish this scene. Yay! The new Poser certainly does render faster as this scene in Poser 12 took a couple of hours or so to render at full-size while in Poser 13 it took a total of 42 minutes. I liked the raw render, but the lighting didn’t look quite right so I took it into Lightroom to “winterize” it then added the snowfall in Photoshop along with a few spot fixes. It’s not perfect, but I like the way it turned out. It’s a fun scene. 

I rendered this scene in Poser 13 Superfly with mostly ambient skydome light and a point light for a little extra illumination. I used depth of field when rendering to cast all focus on the two birds. In Lightroom I edited the colors and contrast of the scene to give it far more of a “wintery” look than what the raw render had. I then took the edited render into Photoshop to do some touchup fixes and added the snowfall in a variety of layers with brushes.
