Microsoft Avatars in Poser 12 software

2021 March 09

Just putting some of my renders using Poser 12 and the Microsoft Avatars (available free). I have to adjust the material settings in Poser 12 and pose the figures manually. I used morph brush to give hair some movement in some of the images.

I created HDR Equirectangular (360) images

Using Blender3D to generate the images

2021 March 14

I went to the World part of the Blender scene settings. I selected Cycles render engine. In Shading tab, I selected Use Nodes. I added a Background node and a Sky Texture Node, connected them and adjusted the various settings of the Sky Node to obtain avariety of rendered results. I exported the results as HDR format, with dimensions ratio width to height 2:1.

Using Poser 12 software to test the images

I use the HDR images from Blender3D in Poser Environment texture Node connected to the Background root node. I will provide more details of how I control this node with additional nodes, in another section of my website (to be updated).

Here are my test renders of the illumination produced only with the HDR image applied to the Background node. There are no lights in the scene. I rendered the various types of scene illumination from various HDR images produced from Blender. There were many more, but not all worked to my satisfaction.

Figure is L'Homme. Clothing and Balustrade created by me using Shade3D. Renders done using Superfly render engine.

Ancient Asian House with PBR shaders

2012 March 17

I obtained a free model of the AnHoi House from Buiductam at CGTrader. I imported the OBJ and stored the textures into my Poser runtime library so that Poser can find the textures easily. I used the textures in PBR shader trees.

PBR = Physically-based rendering.

I made more Young CEO Husband characters

2021 March 24

Daz Studio Pro allows use to access all the character morphs for any particular figure, so it's easy to mix the characters togther using sliders to get a unique looking guy. I had to look through a lot of manga, manhwa, donghua and anime to get the look and feel of the archetype. I also started to get a bit of intellectual damage because a lot of the typical girl's romance series are really similar and you can even predict how the story will go, but oh well, eyeballs hit pages and advertising revenue is earned.
