Tossing my hat into the ring for the Halloween contest at
.Wow, I finished a Halloween type image BEFORE Halloween.
Call Ripley's! Just something my muse decided we needed to stay up until 5 AM working on. I finished it today when I woke up. Apologies if this is two dark for some folks. I had to adjust it when I brought it over to the laptop because it tends to bleed everything out of images. Let me know if it's too dark. I'll try to adjust it a bit lighter.Created in DAZ|Studio with a TON of postwork in Paint Shop Pro. The first thing I had to fix was the horrible candle in the lantern the flame looked like an inverted jalapeno. So I painted in a new candle and flame. I also added fur to the critter through a combination of the Fuzzy Wuzzy shader in rendering and manipulation in postwork with a fur brush I created. Also some light/shadow correction and a repaint on her nose to remove the fuzz the shader put there. I also adjusted her eyes a bit because they looked dark and dull to me.

Kinda late I know... But I've got some fairly decent results out of using the fur maps included with Melody.
I loaded the MelodyFurBody and MelodyFurHead images into Photoshop 7, and then used the Nvidia Normal Map filter to turn them into normal maps. Went back in to Daz Studio and set them on the surfaces in question, then rendered the image. It's not perfect, and you may have to fiddle with the settings in the Normal Map filter to get results you're happy with, but it gives a decent effect IMO.
At the risk of sounding like I'm being a shameless plugger, you can see the effect of that process on one of my renders here: [link] - I used a Scale setting of 2.8 on the normal maps used on Arietta's hands, face and tail, and it comes out decent, I believe. (although it shows up better in the full-sized image) There's no postwork on that image, beyond the grey border around the geometry and the white background; that fur - well, 'fuzz' would be more accurate - is all from the normal map. No shaders, nothing fancy, just the base texture and the normal map.
