Kyde - Jungle Training

A lengthy render I spent time on, did around 50 test renders and trialled various ideas to make the most of the set in combination with the actor within it. I spent allot of time with reflections and composition even the actors skin has reflections. The render initially was designed for use with Volume lighting, however towards the end despite all my efforts to optimize the render, its estimated render time peaked at 15-20hrs.
I tried fog instead which had no impact of additional time over the render without any fancy environmental effects, so I made the depth mask (posted Here) to have additional adjustment later in Photoshop over the ambiance and atmosphere.
There are a total of 12 lights used within this scene.

This is a Daz Studio Render, post work in Photoshop. The character is my own and the figure is Genesis 2.
