Argi and Maristela celebrate Valentine’s Day at their favorite upscale pizza restaurant!
==AMY’S NOTES==
These are characters from the graphic novel WIP that was my original inspiration for getting into Poser. I don’t often do such heteronormative scenes, but ever since I got this pizzeria set, Argi and Maristela have been pestering me to send them to dinner there, and with Valentine’s Day around the corner, I figured, why not?
This is by far my favorite of the sets I’ve bought from Blue Tree Studios. It has enough elements to stage a whole bunch of scenes, featuring not only dining guests but also cooks and wait staff! And I actually used the light set that came with it, which I typically don’t do.
Something went kinda wonky with the reflections on the clinking wine glasses, despite trying a dozen or so glass materials. I was hoping for a wine glass effect similar to what I got in Fehn & Vila Survive Christmas 2019, but I just couldn’t get it to work. And rather than spending a few days trying to figure out why, I decided to just let it go (which is something that doesn’t come easily to me but that’s probably a good skill to practice when making 3D art!)
Setting up this scene was a good reminder to pay more attention to the order I go in when posing. I started with the hands, stupidly, and then of course kept changing the body positions, which moved the hands. Duh!
