Re: Dusting Off The Archives
-----------------------------------
I've started working on a basic shooting set - using footage from some of the Irving Klaw reels Bettie Page did as reference.

(Watching an hour's worth of Bettie on DVD it becomes clear that her appeal comes from her enthusiasm for posing... Difficult to replicate in animation, but possible in still images. I hope.)

Judging from the shadows, illumination consisted of a couple of main lights in front of her at 45 degrees each side.  No key lights, no fill lights, no back lights, no nothing. Maybe augmented by normal room lights.

The set - and the term 'set' is being charitable in the extreme - is a wall with two windows either side of a fifties-style two-sweater plush couch, some curtains to cover the windows, a table lamp on a small side table... And that's it. Same set was in all the Klaw footage I watched - though at some point they did bother to re-surface the wall at one stage.

So for this first experiment I think I'll stay with Poser through to the final render, instead of working in Max as I normally would.  (3D Studio Max is so much easier to work with when setting up complex lighting...)
