You want to make a cool render with your character? Not a problem! I will show you how.

Ok, so first, our ''ingredients''. You will need:

A computer, Blender and a cool RIGGED character.

If you do not have one or multiple of these things, go get them, then you will be able to start. Now, save your blend file as "shift+ctrl+s" and call your file: "(file-name)-Render.blend". Ok so now you have a duplicate of your file. Now Instead of trying to reinvent the art of posing, just go to good 'ol google and type in the pose you want. for example, I want a meditating-like pose for my character. So I type: ''meditating pose'' or ''manga meditating pose''. When you have the photo of your choice, click on it and then click on your right mouse button and go to ''View Image''. OK now your image fits the whole browser window. now you can switch from blender to firefox or edge in the blink of an eye to see your image. Now pose your character according to the image you picked. PS: when your character holds an object or something in your pose, un-parent it from the hand bone, trust me it will come in ''handy'' pun intended. Now you are done posing in the devlook mode you go to rendered view and... You can't see anything because there are no lights. Now light positioning is usually very hard, so I use a HDRI from HDRI Haven. I used a snow-forest for mine. Now for the background I actually used my HDRI, I just put a crystal-like plane in front. Now here is my result:

Now I don't know why but Concrete 5 does not like my render. :( It just cuts my render in half. Well, here it is anyways. I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post! Have a good day! Bye!
