PJ Strong Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 <p>I'm new here but I do love the re renders going on. Any chance anybody wants to take a crack a Calvin Dark. I got him in a stable with Tyson Baine and some other goth like guys and he looks a bit out of place. </p><p> </p><p> Dean Daniels is another guy that could use a touch up. Just suggestions since some guys have been throwing them out there. Don't want to upset anyone.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, now ewanite is going to make me want to sign and then push Calvin Dark and then I am going to come to my senses and remember it is Calvin Dark and well the push will never happen...

PJ Strong Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Any artists out there interested in trying their hand at Dermot O'Logical. I think its a pretty interesting picture and I'm surprised no one has attempted an "update" on it. Just a suggestion for anyone reading this after looking through the universe to see if there were any interesting guys not re rendered yet.

Bull Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Are you rendering it on a background color other than black? Like when you actually click to render it in DAZ if the background color is anything but black it will give the render an outline of whatever color you rendered it on when you paste it to a different background.

Harts4Life Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 When I did renders (back in the day ... now with what I'm learning in school, I may start again) ... I always rendered just the headshot, directly onto the background ... saved on cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
