3 Generation Family Portrait
3D Render by IamRobotHaving family around is one of life's greatest blessings, and today's portrait captures a little of that special feeling.
Judith, mother to Lenore and grandmother to Aelia and Logan, decided it was time to arrange something memorable for her husband Walter. With Nicolai, Lenore and the grandchildren all involved, she organised a surprise family portrait, keeping everything a secret from Walter until the big day. Knowing her husband could be rather camera-shy, she was determined to make this a special occasion he would never forget.
Walter may not have been particularly enthusiastic about finding himself in front of a camera, but having his entire family gathered around him was something he could never turn down. There is a certain pride that comes with seeing the generations of your family together, and for Walter, that meant far more than any photograph ever could.
So, accepting his fate with a little good humour, Walter joined his loving wife Judith and the family she had so thoughtfully brought together. What began as a surprise portrait became something much more meaningful , a treasured moment celebrating family, love and the wonderful memories they continue to create together...even though Walter could have smiled more...lol
NO AI used in the creation of this artwork.
---------------------------------------------------------
If anyone reads this...I'm having trouble rendering this full family portrait scene where it stops short of a full render, leaving grainy un-rendered areas, if anyone could let me know why, that would be awesome, thank you in advance.
In the mean time I will do extra research on line to see if I can find out what's happening.

Great render!!!
To your render issuesI would take a look on the .log file, maybe you can find the problem there.
After many renders I usually close Daz and reopen it again to clean the render album and some .dsons that makes the rendering slower.
Just in case take a look to the progressive rendering, maybe the max time or the max samples are lower than the time or samples your render needs.
Hope it serves

Fri, Nov 06Thanks Bard, will look into this, I do close often then reopen, thanks for the help 

What, a Wonderful Job mo chara!! Top Marks!
With, your problem... I never start a render from the same page that I've just finished. Close it down and open it fresh and start the render. In a scene with lots of figures, I always manually set the render time... I'm certain you know how to do that. You can stop it when you're happy with it.
Sláinte a chara!

Sat, Nov 07Thanks for viewing and commenting, 'Expression' packs are awesome, especially with a 'reset' function 

Great render! Love the poses.
I suspect that there is an issue with the size of the file: 6 characters might be a too heavy workload.
You could try hiding all bodyparts that are covered by garments, so they don't add to yourc polygon count (also teeth, shoes, not visible clothes). Another idea is rendering 2 or even 3 groups of people separately and then assemble them with layers in Gimp or Photoshop. In this case it might be a good idea to include one same figure to make positioning easy and retaining the shadows. Also set up a separate camera so you always have the same angle on all family members and ensure you only make changes in another camera/the viewport cam. This takes some time and effort, but with all different characters this is what I would do.

Sat, Nov 07Thank you for your response, I have taken to creating the scene then just deleting the characters, leaving only 2 to render, then Photoshop compositing then together, a lot of extra work, applying shadows and removing highlights in the wrong places, and yes, having a Camera set for exact framing is a must...the price to pay for a low powered PC...lol...thank you for taking the time to view and comment 

This is great work! Regarding your rendering issue, I always recommend starting with a fresh scene. Sometimes things can get a little wonky, and renders don't complete properly or render in full. Starting a new scene often helps!
