Green Lantern Hal Jordan
Green Lantern 2814.1 - Hal Jordan.
Did this one in Daz Studio and Blender with some Photoshop post-work. Rendered over at RenderStreet.
2400px x 1920px at 5,000 samples cost me about $3.46 (US). I went beastmode on the samples because the SSS in the skin shader and some of the glossy material I decided to use was causing serious fireflies. Tried every other trick in the book but in the end I opted to brute force it.
I went back and forth with making the chest emblem glow too like it does sometimes in the comics these days. I ultimately decided it was too much with the ring already glowing though. Maybe in another image...
Final image with some Photoshop postwork thrown in.
We didn't really get a good look at this ring. It was actually kind of a pain to make.
This was how it looked in Daz Studio. Notice the hair is a bit wider here. I had to fix that in Blender. There weren't enough options to fix it in Daz.
How the scene was set up in Blender.
My first test render. Notice the hair isn't fixed here, yet.
I thought I would try a different hair prop here, but I didn't like it so I switched back.
This was the final render with no Photoshop work.
