No need to apologize - the way you learn is to do. I'm not sure what color you want fixed. If you want to PM me, I can try to provide some coaching.
I used some materials in this thread to make it! Photoshop can not help me to make a perfect picture

Wow,
looks excellent. Great work. I wish I could do something similar, but unfortunately I don't have the required equipment at the moment.
Would be nice to see some more, maybe it will lead to a mod addition. :cool:

Once again, I apologies for the grainy images you are about to see. Seriously, I think my graphics card is busted.
But if anyone is interested in re-rendering the source scene files, i can upload it. After all, i got all the assets from you guys, so our library should be almost the same.

Max wakes up very early and catches Alice just arriving back at the house at 6AM in the morning.
I'm still working on the rest of the images for this series.

Check the progressive section on the render settings tab, make sure it’s set to stop at 95% or even 99% if you’re patient enough. Also there is a time limit setting which may default to 7200 seconds (2 hours). Increase that, again if you’re patient.

Good advice. My own experience is that you usually don't have to go past 95% to get a good-looking image, but the time limit (which, as you say, defaults to 7200 seconds) and also the number of iterations (which defaults to 5000) can bite you. I've got a pretty hefty rendering machine, so I usually hit the iteration limit before the time limit. Someone with a less powerful machine is likely in the opposite situation.

Also, the key trick for getting Iray to converge is to have good, direct light sources. Strategically positioning a spotlight or two can make a huge difference. Indirect lighting takes a LOT longer because Iray has to calculation all the bounces, etc.

Thanks for that tip!!! I'll do that and see the difference.
Meanwhile, here's another one in the series. I call it, The morning after session..
( Alice invites Max to have a bit of fun. Max doesn't waste time )

Additional note - if you come back to your machine and find the render's done and don't know which limit it hit, you can usually find out by viewing the log and looking at the last few lines. Help >> Troubleshooting >> View Log File...

Iray periodically records the number of iterations and the percent that it's reached, so you can see if you hit the iteration limit or the quality limit. Similarly, it will report the total render time, so you can see about that as well. (Basically, all the stuff in the render status window - which vanishes when the render is done - is also recorded in the log file.)

Thanks man. I believe it's the time limit. I'll adjust and re-do everything again and see the difference. I might just extend both limits, just to cover all bases.

Just some Alice renders.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
First of all: great job! I really like it!

2nd but:
her hair looks gray a little bit (Does too much sex kills colour? :eek:)

In the last picture as photographer I would say: Let me think where your light source is? I gues in the height of your chest 3 feet right of you (right lower 1/3 of the picture) and it is too hard imo (spot without diffusor).

My tip would be (in real, I take real pictures and have no clue if it is possibel with your software):
Maybe rise the light source setting above head level and use a second from left (try 1/3 or less) to light up the hard shadows and maybe a reflector or smaller light from right to lighten up this leg's shadow too. All with diffusors.
Maybe you should also switch the sides to check the shadows.
