How much did your XNALara skills improve?

[iheartibuki]

I'm embarrassed to post my very first pose, because it's not work safe.

My latest port is in the DOA thread xD

Okay, I have all of my stuff!

So let's see the models.

This was my first model I have ever released!



Yes, I released it like that. Without removing doubles and without separating the helmets.

And this is the newest version of this model!





My first mod wasss:



Yes, I was into Bleach at that time.

Altho the models aren't THAT bad, I mean, they look alright I guess, buuuuut:



I improved myself very much, yes.

And lastly, the renders!

This was my very first render!



YES I WAS INTO BLEACH NOW STOP STARING!!

And, my favorite render.

^ Is that a Insanity render?

@Someone: Your first picture is not bad at all, I barely messed with the lighting at all when I made my first. That third picture is awesome BTW.

@All

Very cool, to see how far people have progressed.

I apparently nuked my original render with the floor, but I still had the original pose / render.

Then: (2 years ago)


Then: (~1.5 year ago) Most Popular render for some reason ... Sooo many issues ...


Now: (-ish, ~1 year ago) First mod. Timeframe: Weeks


Now: Mod / Render. Timeframe: Hours


What's Changed:

Then, I Knew ...
Basics: Crude 3D, Limited Posing, No XNALara , No Blender

Now, I Know ...
XNALara: Placement, Posing Finesse, Lighting
Blender: Part Swapping, Mesh Editing, UV Editing, Smoothing

It's still an awesome feeling though to overcome big hurdles.

Thanks, Eh, the skin tone is a bit me though, I went a little too crazy when I discover 'Post processing parameters', Most things are little that I would do differently to make it look more natural. The big issue was the boots in the water,

@Proto: For you first mod that's really nice looking!

@Someone: A lot of images I did when I started were lost when my flash drive died.
This was the second picture I made. I tinkered around with the lighting and bloom longer than I worked on the poses.

I was pretty happy with this one.
