Ts4 Render - Tumblr Posts
What do y'all prefer to render in? Eevee or cycles? I usually use cycles, but even though I have a good computer it still takes forever. What are some of the pros and cons?
Lady Anastasia for @salemssimblr Crypt's May edit challenge. She see's herself as a sort of Goddess that has power over life and death. She's really just a murderer.

I was finally able to make a render that I'm happy with for my band ocs. This is Lucas(Luc) and Felix. Felix is half Japanese, so in this HC they took a trip to Japan during the summer. A little more info about them under the cut.
So, I posted awhile ago that I wanted to turn one of my writing wips into a sims story and this is the start of that. These two are two members of the band New Melody. They're both 21 and they're quite dependent on each other. In my writing, they aren't together, but for this render I'm pretending they are. Hope you like them!

Thanks for the tut
Hii, I love ur cc, it's truly amazing!!
I'm also in love with the lightning in ur renders, how do u do it?? Im new in blender and o would like to learn new things :) 🖤
Aww, thank you! I'm pretty much new to blender-render too, so I don't know if I can tell something new about it :D But okay, I'll show what I do. I use Eevee render in Blender. Cos I'm poor and can't afford myself cool Cycles that demands powerful PC. Cos it's... easier.
First thing is environment light. Depending on your idea you can change it into more dark, more light or really any color (or even environment texture!)
Let's change it to lighter color ;3
Next, set transparent background.
I like soft light in pictures with bloom like in 80-90s movies :D So I always add Bloom + Ambient Occlusion because in Eevee it's vital.
In most cases I add Sun light first. And set up Shadow quality, cos... again, shadow quality in Eevee is vital:D
Change softness, power, color for the sun light and also add Contact Shadows. (Cos it's vital?:D)
Add back light. I LOOOOVE when the light is shining from behind the model. Makes me *___*, so yes. Back light must be rally hard and powerful to make the trick.
I also love my model's faces, so I usually try to lit it up with extra light to make it clear and well seen ;3
Then add more back light. MORE!
Make some pose/light changes if needed, add some simple Ps edit and that's it! You have this:
Hope it was helpful. Have fun!
I managed to make an attractive male sim!

hc: caleb's birthday portraits
When Caleb was born, Lilith received a box of crayons and a ream of paper from their father, who instructed her to draw the baby. He explained that they needed pictures to send to her grandparents so they’d know what her new brother looked like. It was a very important responsibility, one he urged her to take seriously, so she got to work.
Lilith was two and a half years old at the time. Those drawings didn’t clarify a thing for her grandparents, but they kept her occupied while her mother, exhausted after a difficult labor, got a bit of rest.
A year later, while Lilith’s mother was busy preparing Caleb’s birthday celebration, her father once again approached her, this time with even more crayons and paper, and told her to draw her brother so their grandparents could see how he'd grown. These ones were a little better, but the grandparents probably got a bit more out of the actual photographs mailed along with the drawings. It became a yearly tradition, and she kept it up even after Caleb stopped aging. She still has almost all of the portraits, except the ones from his 4th, 7th, 29th, and 56th birthdays. There are so many now that storing them is a logistical challenge.
Caleb thinks that the collection is a fascinating representation of the vampiric existence. He, the subject, does not meaningfully change portrait to portrait, year to year. He knows that he hasn’t, but there’s something about she sheer size of the collection - literally dozens of paintings, all with the same face - that really drives that point home. On the other hand, they’re a detailed record of Lilith’s evolution as an artist. Caleb looks the same in every painting, but no two paintings look alike. She has changed and grown, though she looks the same as she always has. He's grown too.
There’s something meaningful about that, so every year, he agrees to another portrait. Thankfully, Lilith paints quickly and vampires can hold a pose.
Also, March 23rd feels like a good birthday for Caleb. I think that'd be right around Spring 1, if we take the equinox to be the beginning of spring.

All that magic, and what do they use it for? Mastering the art of gracefully riding a broom in a heavy walking dress and corset without having to resort to a hobble skirt, of course!

1890-1940 // portraits of caleb & lilith vatore
Third and final part of the series! A decade-by-decade view of the Vatore siblings covering 1890-1940. I hc them as having been born in the late 1930s/early 1940s, so to me this isn't actually a record of their life but rather just a photoshoot of the two of them playing dress-up. Sibling bonding!
I'm going to make these into wall art like I did with the Lilith portraits - I should have them up in a few days.

1890-1940 // portraits of caleb vatore
Made as a companion to these portraits of Lilith. I'll make these into cc wall art next, along with the sibling portraits I'll put up shortly.
As I said in the last post, I see the Vatores as having been born in the late 1930s/early 1940s, meaning none of these clothes belong to him and these photos were taken in like, the 1980s or some shit. I chose a short haircut for Caleb for these renders, but you're free to imagine side bangs stuffed into those hats. I know I will.
Men's fashion is a lot more limited, both in terms of CC and real life clothing, and the differences between cuts/hats/etc can be pretty subtle. This set isn't as historically accurate as Lilith's, and I'm chalking that up to Caleb being less invested in the whole affair than she was.
