Comments & Additional info

I know it has been said over and over, but I am going to repeat it anyway.  The higher the resolution and graphics settings, the more detail you are going to be able to see, and will give you the best base to work from.  But I wanted to demonstrate the differences in the graphic level settings, and that with a good tool like Photoshop, GIMP, even paint.net, you can get a good base from a lower graphic setting also, and then do your favorite processing from there.

I am going to see if I can put this custom windlight setting together into a file that I can send anybody that wants it.  If you would like it, please either IM me inworld (Aldwyn Zanzibar) or email me (aldwynzanz@gmail.com).

Have a great day everybody!

i was wondering just one thing. One the first photo why didn't you have the nearby and local lights checked like you did in the 2nd and 3rd photo. Great post!

Great question Dezi!

I did not catch that until after I had done the shots, but I went back and checked, and changing that setting did not change the view at all, since I did not use any facelights at all in any of the shots.

Thanks for catching that! I hope you enjoyed the posts!
