Reflective Muse So when I came to Renderhub I noticed the reflection contest and thought, hmmmm....I had a series of images of the woman in black in a studio setting. Thought what a no brainer and I was all ready to submit one for the contest. When getting ready for it I had some misgivings. While I had created a Genesis 9 Custom Character, it was the only part of the scene that was 'original'. As if I never have enough to work on, including starting to launch my store here, I thought, why not create a Dance Studio? While I'm at it, let's create a second figure. There's plenty of time! Since making that decision, I created an original studio but didn't like it. It had the converted warehouse look but it wasn't quite what I was seeing in my head. There's plenty of time! Let's just redo the walls...and the floor....and let's add some steel girders...old warehouse have big exposed pipes, plenty of time! Anyway, a long winded post but thought to give a breakdown of the scene. -Custom Created Genesis 9 figures, from Daz to Blender for some fine tuning and to Substance Painter for the skin tones and details. -Custom Dance Studio with basic Polygon modeling in Lightwave combined with Blender Sculpts on the walls for the exposed bricks. Then sent to Substance Painter for the texturing. -Decided to create the Candleabras with morphing candles and flames to get some variance in the scene, prop to prop. -Store assets: Piano, Clothing and Hair. The Art Deco style window texturing was also a store asset. Wire Frame Image Thumbnail Final notes: The final image was created using the Light Dome iRay Pro asset. Seven exposures were rendered and the HDRI was combined using Luminar NEO. I was wanting to create the image not as vibrant so a few Photoshop/Luminar NEO adjustments were added to the process. Thank you for the read and good luck to all the entries. There is some amazing images I've seen in the gallery! ~3DV
