So it occurred to me that I never do polearms, which made me think of baroque era pikemen and Germano mercenaries. So I thought I’d do a nice landsknecht lass…
#1 work in progress
#2 head shot
I've been working on headshots lately and wanted to see if I could get some manga hotspots into an otherwise realistic portrait. I also punched up the highlights in her hair manually
Techniques to do this in-render with the cunning use of anisotropy are currently being researched and show early signs of viability
#3 rough sketch
#4 cover image
So now Virily is including cover images or banners or whatever they're going to call them but they're auto generated. The problem with having some logic make this sort of call is that they're really no good at it. Sometimes an algorithm can get a decent result but they'll rarely pick the optimum shot
I just hope Virily will roll out an option for user defined or at least supplied resources because the new layout is really a great improvement
