I have fought with shadows in Kirsten’s Viewer for awhile now, not only with getting them to appear and their quality, but also with getting the environment to not have an obnoxious glow or lack the desired shadow effect. Also, because I am an avid Phoenix user, the interface of KV bugged me a bit and when I logged into it, my clothing was different than what I had been wearing in Phoenix.
With the latest major release of Kirsten’s Viewer (S20), awesome tutorials written by Strawberry Singh, and more experimenting, today I finally found satisfaction!
TIP: Turn full bright off on your studio backgrounds. I realized that is why my shadows weren’t showing up on the ground or the wall. I feel much less frustrated with KV now. Whew!
I’d like to see more shadow contrast of the ground and wall shadow, and I’m not sure how to do that, but I think that is my last hurdle with this.
Now on to the fashion segment…
I’m sure you have seen many posts regarding the store Mon Tissu. Trust me, it is so worthy of the blogger love it is getting! I could write an entire page on the boots alone. The texture of the leather footwear is out of this world–I could almost smell the new leather scent. As a kid, I rode horses and every couple of years would get a new pair of leather boots (the cowboy boot variety). The smell, feel, and visible texture of the leather is still lodged in my mind, and I couldn’t help but love these hot steppers for bringing back the memories. I especially thought the texture detail on the heels was a remarkably clever touch.
I also love the free-spirited Boho look of the So Boho Blouse. This top is exceptionally well done, appearing to have the realistic look and flow that was likely intended. Beautiful work Mon Tissu!
