At first I planned to user Poser 3 for the characters of this one but after a few tries I changed my mind because the results were not satisfactory. Time to upgrade Poser? Anyway, I removed the character model from the scene and painted it with Painter 5.5 after the rendering phase was complete.
I’ve learned that if Bryce 4’s capabilities seem to hold back my visions I can always leave the rest of the job to be done with Painter 5.5 so that I don’t have to change my original plans or to go for time consuming experiments. Also, by painting I can create some delicate details and impressions which, I believe, would be very hard to achieve any other way.
