Originally inspired by a chance combibnation of pose, skin texture, and hair (my original 'au naturel' image is posted in my RDNA gallery - I hadn't decided what clothing to use, but I wanted to post the image as it stood because I thought she looked gorgeous as she was, and also to avoid losing my inspiration...)

This variation was inspired by Klausdbg's gorgeous "East Asian Cloth" and too many Chinese movies!  I also used Silviu Caraba's  "KHANG-YM(Asian head moforphsV4,A4)" for both figures (mixed with other morphs). Both items mentioned are from here at ShareCG.

The first image is the original post, but the main image has been replaced with my latest version.

After the original post I decided that I needed something more in the background. I'd already tried (and scrapped) the idea of a Chinese/Japanese building, but a bamboo forest seemed appropriate. However, no bamboo in my runtime. ShareCG came up trumps again with Nobiax's "Free Bamboo v1" - nice and lo-res so no worries about piling it in. I also changed the lighting and added a simple "Depth Cue" fog effect within Poser (although I messed up the colour!), and the same postwork focus blur in GIMP. That's the second picture here. Still not right.

The next two pictures are earlier versions, while the last two are alternative clothing that I tried - I'll probably go back to those at some time as they're off in a completely different direction!

Next (7th) picture - after playing around with the bamboo and depth-cue atmosphere I came up with this, a big improvement I think. I used one infinite light and a diffuse IBL, no shadows or AO (or IDL) - those were taking forever to render with all the bamboo! « Less
