I’ve found another way to quickly de-grunge default textures in Poser 11. It’s not as colour-faithful as the Topaz Clean 3 workflow<\/a>, but is quicker and lends itself nicely to a ‘storybook watercolour’ rather than a ‘comic-book flats’ workflow. It’s built right in to Poser, in the “changeGamma” Python utility script that ships with Poser…<\/p>\n

It’s very easily and quickly applied, and you can even control which bit of the character or scene it gets applied to. It shows up in Preview, though takes a moment to appear. One can also just apply the gamma lift on certain bits of dark clothing. <\/p>\n

Below you can see what a simple setting of “1.0” does when applied to the whole character + clothing. Dark grunginess is strongly lifted, without having to change the lights. Here I’m using a flat toon IBL light, pointed straight at the Puntik character, to get a flat toon effect. This light has not changed between the “default” and “after” examples. (A setting of 0.8 would be too light, 1.5 is not so light as 1.0).<\/p>\n

Speckling from the grungy textures is still there, but it becomes much easier to burn nearly all of it off with the real-time Comic-Book control-dial. I can also run a couple of my custom Sketch presets in Poser, and get quick Sketch renders than look like hand-painting, and the lightness enables a nice watercolour effect.<\/p>\n

Those desperate to have it ‘look 3D’ could, of course, subtly blend in a shadow \/ highlights render to give a more rounded form. This would also serve to darken the character back down a little.<\/p>\n
