Renderotica

Thanks Inkyscandal.

This was done in Poser11. I don’t know that this is the smartest or easiest way (or if your even a Poser user) but…

I firstly changed V4’s skinning method to Poser Unimesh (from Poser Traditional skinning).

This allows me to more easily use the Morphing tool directly on the V4 figure. Also in this Unimesh skinning method I can subdivide the polygons of V4 further to allow more detail to the indentations I’ll be making.

I wrap the ropes around the figure making sure I place them below the skin surface of the V4 model. The depth below depending on how fleshy I think that part of the body might be.

Then I mostly use the ‘Push’ or ‘Pull’ morphing tools, usually on the ‘screen’ and ‘screen (In/Out)’ setting. I run the tool over V4’s skin wherever the ropes lie, pushing the skin down under them.

I’m definitely no expert so there may be a much smarter way which hopefully someone might share?
