I hadn’t even gone through all the goodies that came with the Stephanie 5 Pro Bundle before I jumped right into creating a scene. I was so eager to make something with Stephanie!

I started with her default texture, but I found her to look a little too pink. Maybe I’m missing something?



Eager to move on, I applied the Ianthe texture along with some makeup. Isn’t she a cutie?



I gave her a cute pose and applied the Lorella Fantasy Outfit.



I started dropping in some vegetation around her.



To fill in the background, I added the Forest Superior.



The forest is huge! That little nothing you see selected in the middle is Stephanie!



If that wasn’t enough, the scene needed just a little bit more. I added a well and a bucket.



I ran a test render to see how that was looking.



That’s a really nice material on the Lorella outfit, but it doesn’t really match the scene. She’s fetching a pale of water in the middle of the forest, so maybe she’s an Elf or something; not so much a princess.

With that, I changed it to a green material. I also thought the tiara was a little much, so I got rid of that.



I tweaked the depth of field on the camera so that a few of the grass stalks in the foreground would appear a little out-of-focus.



I added a few colored lights and gave it a render.



That’s a little too much sun on her back, and the light reaches a little too far back into the woods. I tweaked my light settings and gave it another render.



The distant light was fully illuminating her from behind. I didn’t want that. I just wanted a little light cast on her back, so I dropped in a point light right behind her.



I then gave it another render. That’s a little better. Now it looks like there’s a little sun at her back.



I then took the render into Pixelmator and added some bokeh effects to the blurred areas in the foreground.
