Skyline Overlook

Victoria 7For my next sci-fi scene I stared off by dropping in a bunch of buildings and arranged them to look like a city. I then dropped some mountains into the background.

I then added the
Sci Fi Crew Quarters set.

I stripped away all the stuff that I didn't want.

I dropped in Victoria 7…

…and gave her some
sci-fi clothes.

I then gave it a nice texture…

…and applied a pose.

I then began to move things into position…

…and worked on the camera angle, added some props, and worked on the lights.

Meh.

Still meh.

I wasn't feeling the outfit. It's pretty sexy, but it's not what I want for this scene. I figured I'd save the sexy version of this outfit for another day and just go with a full bodysuit.

This render saw a good 20 iterations before I was finally happy with the look.

Everything from the character to the hair changed. I very rarely end up with what I started with, but now it's starting to look like something.

A few more tweaks to the lights, and a sci-fi gui applied to the tablet and I was happy with the results.

I then took the render into Pixelmator for some post-work.

I started by adding a nice sunny sky to match the lights on her back.

Finally, I added some lens flare and bokeh.

This one came out great. I love how nice a bright it is. It's a beautiful sunny day on the Skyline Overlook.
