Also because I know folks enjoy seeing the process, WAPOW!

How are you getting it so dark as a base tho. Id love to paint with light but i swear the game doesn't have properly dark areas.

In this shot I used my home studio which is just white panels with lighting turned to 0. But I also just posted a video of how you can make really dark environments through Brio(and Ktisis)

Holy hell, and I thought five lights for a portrait shot was excessive. Gotta step my game up

sometimes it feels a bit excessive when a few well placed fill lights might do the same trick, but its really satisfying when the piece starts coming together with smaller individual lights :3

Wut face is that?

I think it's face 5 for midlanders!

that such a cool work, my fear is mostly crashing after all that is done i.i so I usually do effects in editing , great job tho ! Iwant have your courage

Hah yeah its always a bit scary, but these days Brio has a new feature that lets you save lighting presets, so its been handy to make periodic backups

ooh that good to know, I am newbie on modded Gposing, gonna try that !

I’m nowhere close to being any good gposing I gotta learn

Omg such lights. It turned out great

Interesting process, I personally do some of these off-platform just because I like the control I get with a pen and tablet on CSP, the eyes catchlights for example. Fantastic work with these lights!

Thank you! I'd definitely like to get better at off-platform edits at some point. It's amazin the kind of work folks can do with clean edits

may i please know this hair?

I belieeeeve it's called Wavy by Mabel

tysm!!!

Wow! What a beautiful use of lighting! Very talented!

Thank you!

Any tips for facial expressions? Or are you using vanilla ones?

expressions can be tricky to get the hang of, I've still got a lot to learn but having a reference image or two goes a LONG way

the problem to me is that i don't know how to properly move the bones so it doesn't look weird. Also my fem AuRa is kinda hard to make expressions on

想问一下眼部的打光是用的点光源吗？

All of my lights are Spot Lights since I like to control where reflections/glows are without light bleed. The eyes are very tiny spotlights placed very close, pointed at the eyes with a low intensity to give it that little shine

@miGCx0JELM2H9So Hi, I was wondering how you shrink the lights themselves for things like eye shines, etc.? Scaling doesn't seem to do it and I can't remember for the life of me

@miGCx0JELM2H9So I wanted to do a quick video but apparently I hit my daily twitter limit >:( Anyway, I make the lights super weak, with 0 on the 'Angle' setting and slight value on the Smoothing. Bring the light in close, reduce the range to avoid bleed and reduce intensity

what is your reshade setting?

It's a custom one I've been tweaking for years and swap things around for different gposes depending on vibes

See my struggle with spots is even if you make them around a 2 once you start feathering them they get MASSIVE, so detail lighting always seems impossible.

I like to change the Range on the lights so that the spotlights don't bleed onto the background. Also enabling Character Shadows for those lights can help a lot with light bleed. alsoalso bringing the light physically closer/further away can do wonders

I'm taking notes and if the WoW team does not steal me for content I will bring some tests post haste.
