This is the final goal of our image making, isn’t it? Unless the render itself is just a link in a longer chain of work. Anyway, time to start mastering the beast.
At the moment I can offer you:
Series
Each reference below links to the first post in the series. From there you can easily select any individual post (footer, right).
- Render Passes
Just render out some aspects of the image separately. Like color, shine, reflections. Then turn them into Photoshop layers, and balance their strength interactively, without re-rendering. Don’t do in 3D what can be done in 2D, since it’s just far more effective and efficient. - Corrections
About Gamma Correction, Exposure Correction, when to use it and how. For Poser as well as Vue. - Managing Poser Scenes, on:
- * the camera, or: the virtual camera body with lenses
- * the renderer, or: the virtual camera backplane or film
- * the lights
- * the atmosphere
- * the backgrounds
