Just playing around with RAWTherapee and doing some post work on older renders. Lots of vignette here to close the darkness around the center and the multiple light sources there. This is SO MUCH EASIER than trying to achieve it all with lighting alone. I wish I'd known...

Sun, Apr 23, 2023Thank you! It's mostly emissives, but I wasn't really happy with it until I did the post work. Learning a lot with that right now and how to alter the pre-render look so I have more options in post. 
FYI, I've got your Lightroom environment in my cart and a couple ideas for what I want to do with it. Stay tuned; they'll either work or not.

Sun, Apr 23, 2023Given your needs as a seller and showing what's possible with raw DAZ work, I can definitely appreciate your approach. No doubt you have much more experience than I, and it's hard to argue with your results. 
For myself, I find the tone mapping controls in DAZ way too cumbersome. Click on the color bar, move the crosshairs, accept, wait the few seconds for the viewport to re-render. Lather, rinse, repeat. I find it much more intuitive to have a slider for tint that I can go to extremes both ways and gradually narrow it down to the range I want. It takes me seconds, not minutes, and I can toggle it off/on to see if it changed the image the way I wanted to.
I don't even know how I could've gotten the vignette effect that saved this image through DAZ options. I was pretty heavy handed with it, but it did exactly what I wanted.
I don't have a photography background, so there are many staging and lighting fundamentals that I'm lacking. I quickly run out of things to try when I'm looking for a particular effect, and I lack the language to ask. :shrug emoji:

Sun, Apr 23, 2023Absolutely, I agree that quite a lot in DAZ is a disaster ... their approach I also understand and in the end a good result counts
