Xgen Guide and Render

I created separate descriptions for the bangs and hair with a curl modifier for detailing.

Progress

Texture & shading

I used mari for texturing and rendered with Vray

Lighting & Compositing

Lighting buildup

- 22 rect lights
- 1HDRi
- 6 light block Planes

I used lightblocking for creating specific shadow

Light-group1 : Adjusting overall brightness and large shadows

Light-group2 : Adjusting the volume and shadow of the light on the ground, and the main light of the main character

Light-group3 : Adjusting the brightness of the character's eyelashes and candle light

Compositing

Using Nuke, I adjusted the brightness of the light/the color of the whole scene and for each object, and I also blurred the background using depth information
