A portrait render, entitled 'Red' for obvious reasons

I created this render using Poser, 3ds Max and Vray.

I set up the base figure, hair and some of the accessories in poser and exported in to Max.

I then setup my scene and Vray shaders for the character.

Additional elements, such as the shoulder spikes, hair modifying, tweaking etc.. were also done in Max.

At this stage I use a mixture of poser models and work done in Max to create my character based renders whilst I work on my organic modelling skills.
