Spent the whole afternoon on this piece, finding out what Affinity Photo won't do, as well as what it will, LOL. There's a few things it just doesn't seem to do -- or am I missing something?? Good thing I know how to paint, and have a tablet, because a couple of the things I'd counted on being easy turned out to be impossible. Anyway -- done. And now I'm exhausted, and looking for dinner. (First thing I has to do was go to DAZ and buy the Millennium Horse!
This is a new one on me. I've been rendering it for ten years and more ... obviously it was free with Studio 3, waaay back when, so I never bought it. Never had to. Well, the Mil Horse ain't free anymore, so when I installed Studio 4 on the new computer, all the tonne of horse stuff I had bought installed, but no base figure! Ack. Anyway, $15 solved that problem, and here we are.
This is a render out of Studio 4, passed into Affinity Photo to be painted ... next time I paint, I might have a bash at painting in Krita instead, because Affinity isn't nearly as friendly toward painting as the old Photoshop was. I rendered the old Millennium Horse without the mane and tail, and added those separately. I also hand-painted the shadows, because this is a backdrop, not a set ... and set up this way, the old low-poly figure rendered in seconds, even at max quality in Iray. That pleased me greatly! The adventure continues...
