Another Poser to SD experiment. <\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Take the final from the Poser to SD 1.5 workflow shown earlier<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Give it a simple “desaturate” in Photoshop (better b&w conversions are available). <\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Have Photoshop enlarge the crude original source for the Img2Img input, to 1024px. Then paste it over the top of the 1024px final. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Set the Poser render’s Photoshop layer blending mode to ‘Colour’… <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The colours of the original Poser render are thus restored, which across a comic-book page and pages will give you the Holy Grail of consistent colouring across different SD images. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Flatten layers, tweak Curves and Brightness in Photoshop, to add more graphic ‘pop’ and\/or suit the intended lighting for your story.<\/p>\n

\n

Obviously the Poser source we used here is a bit crude…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… and you might get better making another finer render to be used only for Colour blending in Photoshop. If sticking with the real-time Preview render, note you’ll get better colouring by rendering Preview using more than the default 512px material textures.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget you might also lay on a 30% blending layer with a Smooth Shaded render from Poser, made under a suitable light, which will add back some shadow and volume (for those hankering desperately for ‘the 3D look’). Then there’s Poser’s Sketch renders too, to play with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
