Postwork can massively transform a scene into a much more convincing environment. Mary Wright (Quixotry) with the use of rendered images, stock images, specific Photoshop tools, actions, filters and brushes shares her detailed techniques of creating two different environments; realistic underwater and desert settings.

She then goes through how to insert rendered DAZ Studio characters and props into these scene images, making them look like it’s their natural home. It’s an essential tutorial to widen your choices of how you can portray your rendered creatures and characters.
