For gaming figures, the formula for the ratio is 304.8 (mm per foot) multiplied by the assumed height in feet divided by the figure scale height in mm. For example, if we have a figure we assume is 6 feet to the top of the head at 54mm we have 6x304.8=1,828.8 divided by 54=33.86, rounded to 34, the ratio is 1/34. I assume 6 feet to the top of the head for size measurement and calculated the ratio accordingly. Feel free to copy the code and customize it for your particular needs.

ANATOMY FOR SCULPTORS . . .

Understanding the human figure by :  ULDIS ZARINS with SANDIS KONDRATS
The concept of this book came from the other co-author Uldis Zarins, a classically trained sculptor. While he's learning sculpting, he was frustrated by the lack of anatomy books for sculptors, and so he decided to create such a book. The book was crowd-funded successfully on Kickstarter in May 2013

BOKEH EFFECT IN VRAY SKETCHUP . . .

Bokeh effect is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” Simply put, bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph. 

V-Ray also offers a feature to simulate this type of effect: enable the depth of field and just flag on “blades” 

Trial 1 | Aperture (f number) 8.0 | Shutter speed 300
https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5677/22125559523_6036397e62_h.jpg 
Trial 2 | Aperture (f number) 1.0 | Shutter speed 300
https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5778/22720651406_9383037e01_h.jpg
Trial 3 | Aperture (f number) 2.0 | Shutter speed 125
Trial 4 | Aperture (f number) 2.0 | Shutter speed 60

3 important things to affect DOF "Depth of field" 
 Adjust or increase Blur DOF effect
  • Using a bigger Focal length
  • Reducing the distances from the subject (actual distance of camera to object)
  • Decreasing f-number
Note : The more you decrease the value of f_number more strong effect in DOF "Depth of field"   -  -

EV (Exposure value) a combination of a shutter speed and an aperture "f-number" setting, independent of any ISO setting.

I have lots of trial and error...correct me if I'm wrong about the setting and I need a comments and more suggestion if you have. :) GOD BLESS

Epic - STONE BRIDGE . . .( the making )

A structure that spans and provides a passage over a road, railway, river, or some other obstacle
There is no complete communication system without a bridge. Laying foundations for this beautiful arched bridge where the river flows all year round was not an easy task, but the town's masons managed to built it proving them selves to be skillful engineers.
