Full Body Sass

This was actually more of an experiment on trying to make a 'shadowcatcher" effect on the IBL image


for anyone outside the Daz Studio - LuxRender Side of things

Luxrender doesn't have a false floor to act as a shadowcather, an invisible floor to display shadow in an environment that doesn't actually have a physical geometry to act as a floor

In this instance, I had Inu basically floating in an empty space, the background as just in image backdrop.
without a shadow in the ground, it looks like she is just floating and not grounded and the illusion of her being in the photo of the real scenery is broken.


The method I used was to render the scene With a floor, a simple white plane primitive.
once it rendered clean enough, i took That image into photoshop and worked some blending magic to place it over a image Without the floor plain
Set layer blending on Multiply and some color edit to blend into the environment lil better and some Leveling to bring the dark areas out and bleed away the lighter portions and alil blur to smooth it out
Some touch up and bam.


it didn't come out as great as I hoped, but it took all night to work up a method.
But what do you guys think?
