Notes:
I first created an artwork like this last year (2015) and actually liked it very much at the time. When I saw some new and improved Poppy flower models had been released in September of 2016, I decided to revisit and improve this year old artwork. (I usually wait much longer before doing a “redux” but inspiration strikes when inspiration strikes.) I ended up updating all of the plant models and improving just about everything. I even changed the scene’s display ratio to be square so it shows off both the woman and the landscape. I love this new version and I think it’s one of my best artworks now.
Technical Notes:
The scene was rendered with depth of field effects in Poser using a very simple IBL lighting setup (a total of three lights were used). All of the plant models (poppies, chicory, and grass) are from the 3D artist Flink. The rest of the landscape was created using Terradome 2 with various addons and the lighthouse is from Daz3D. The water looked completely flat in the finished render so I added some wave details using Rons brushes and Photoshop’s smudge brush to move the horizon waterline so it looks like soft wave instead of a flat plane. The woman’s dress is dynamic and was calculated using wind force to add the wind effects. In postwork I added some overlays and adjusted the color, contrast, etc. with some Photoshop actions and layer adjustments.
