shipshirt

Thank you! Love that Mass Hulk. I agree, sometimes there are way too many "cocky blonde wrestlers" or "Big bald wrestlers' and it can be tough to make them stand out or be interesting to create renders for. I'm all for taking a character and reinterpreting it. Awesome job! And speaking of cocky blonde wrestlers, I was messing around with Iray more and seeing what old renders I've done might look better in Iray and I was pleased with this Marc Dubois re-light. Makes me wish TEW had bigger body pics.

Great tips! Sickleyield (who also makes products fpr Daz) has a 3 Point Lighting tutorial here that I used to set up a basic light deal (https://www.deviantart.com/sickleyield/journal/Tutorial-Three-Point-Lighting-In-Iray-598282717) Here's a render using only that, with no HDRI. took about 3 minutes to render in Iray with a Render Quality set to 3: I didn't do any post work on it either. Usually I'll adjust the brightness and hue some in Photoshop. it could just be the speed of your computer, although 5 hours for a portrait is nuts. I've never see it that slow. If you have an NVidia graphics card that supports Iray you could try going into settings for Daz and having the iray engine use that instead of the CPU. Might help.

<p>That Dark Angel rocks!</p><p> </p><p> The Richie Riggins is actually using Michael 6 Nevio skin but rendered with Iray. I've found the most success with the following kit: <a href="https://www.daz3d.com/li-incandescent--portrait-lighting-for-iray" rel="external nofollow">https://www.daz3d.com/li-incandescent--portrait-lighting-for-iray</a></p><p> </p><p> You don't need any light setup at all other than which HDRI you want to use under the Environment Lighting folder. (you will want to place an UberEnvironment light in the scene so you can see what you're doing and it will automatically turn the headlamp on the camera off. Iray doesn't pick up UE lighting so you'll just get the effect from the HDRI). There are some settings you need to tweak in Render Settings after but if you ever go this route, hit me up and I'll post them.</p>

I didn't but it was easy enough to just change the look I also moved her closer to the camera for both looks. That top one is mine, I didn't realize I had already posted it. I wasn't thrilled with the hair (Kallum Hair looks so stringy, but not in a good way) so I redid him: Also did a re-render of Valiant in Iray to give him more of a Kerry Von Erich vibe

<p>I gotta agree with PNG over GIF. I tried to use Gifs function but the edges are way too messy and it really degrades the render. Hopefully, PNG with logo background is something that will be added.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p> Wade Orson</p><p> <img alt="eC6IQD2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/eC6IQD2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="U9Ny6vb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/U9Ny6vb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> The default render of Brimstone always made me think of him as a heavyweight ala Scythe so I figured I'd take a crack at making him more of a high flyer look</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="9AEmE1c.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9AEmE1c.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="mq1Kc9a.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mq1Kc9a.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p>

<p>Some more messing around with IRay. A very serious looking Samoan Machine</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="PPqzBp0.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PPqzBp0.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Been messing around with IRay a little more. Here's an Ernest Youngman in that render style:

I was thinking more for a Hardy-esque look haha. I used Malakai to make Frankie Perez’ Killswitch alterego

The RAW Clown Clan sets have similar facepaints. As does Malakai for Genesis 2

<p>Wow those free workers are awesome smw! I love the face paint</p><p> </p><p> I don't think I've ever done a render of The Architect that I've been happy with. I can never figure out the guy and end up releasing him from any game he's in. So I messed around with Toon Dwayne and the IRay render settings and think I finally have one I like:</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GOmvwE2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GOmvwE2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p>

Nice! That looks tremendous. Really adds some depth and complexity!

<p>Also I was so happy with my Bradley Blaze render I thought he deserved a cooler full body pose:</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="4SzZVcK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4SzZVcK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p>
