    Thanks Andrew.

    Here's a test animation of a campfire I'm working on for the Dells scene.

    Note that the animated fire isn't actually in the Dells scene in this video. It's just a placeholder set to make it easier to set up.

    I love that fire scene, ep!
    Here's a quick composite - RM's Delphina, but using my own shaders instead of Dimension Theory's.
    I really like this "Heartbeat Hair", too.

    OK here's my rebuilt file for the last book-cover. It's still a working file. The last book in the series thank goodness. She needs to rewrite the jacket back piece, it's jibberish at the moment.

    I still have lots to do especially with the fur work on his cloak fringe. It's not behaving as well as in the previous build (which I lost to a nasty little boat which has been replaced by an octopus). I did save the cloak with hair to my browser, but as mentioned, sometimes haired things so save well. In this case it just does not want to load. I think the hair count it too high. I wonder if reducing the hair count before saving to browser would help. Then increase it once introduced into a new scene?

    Sorry PhilW, I wanted to use your freebie octopus but i didn't have time to rig it so this is the DAZ one. But I am not happy with it yet, either. I do love your Carrara Seas, though. :) They go great with magaremoto's Polar Lands.

    Evil, your fire gets used over and over in my stuff...it's so easy to work with. I have even used it as smouldering smoke by changing the sliders. :)

    Thanks to Julien from Inagoni and the forum members who helped me. You made this so much easier to deal with and learn from.

    xx :-) Silene

    I agree. Very well done!

    BTW, I know it's older, but I still love your spider walk tutorial. Thanks for making it available!

    Wow!
    Yeah, it's a bummer I've been missing out on so many pages in here. Certainly going to have to take a browse one of these days!
    Mark, you've done a beautiful job with those!

    This is a work in progress, but hitting diminishing returns (and I'm going blind on this image :) ) so might as well get some comments.

    This is my first attempt to render a Daz figure into a photo with real people, in other words, try to match skin tones, shadows and lighting to look as believable as possible. Not so easy.

    I didn't do any hand painting because my goal was to create a stereoscopic image (separate L/R pair) so all compositing is based on selection masks obtained through the rendered Index channel. These can be mimic'd exactly in the other image. This is the L one.

    For those who want a "play"... my Photoshop PSD is available here. Have fun, and ...
    Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

    That's awesome work! I'm pretty sure her bike will beat yours though. Just sayin'...
    Will you have to sleep on the couch if she rides on the back of your bike?

    Very nice job!

    I would say the composite on the girl is pretty damned close. If you need to work on anything, I would say the bike needs it the most. Particularly the chrome and windshield.

    Since it's Friday and you offered some files to play with, I did. Evilproducer was spot-on with the reflection comments. Since you work in photoshop, I made a couple of tweaks along regarding specular highlights and reflections. It's fall-down easy to do. (I used to re-touch cars for Toyota campaigns) It's not a tight retouch but you'll get the idea.

    The amended PS file is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iw8givfzf1526f3/16all_L1920_mb.psd.zip?dl=0

    Thanks for the excuse to play!

    Thanks Dart, Evil and Mark. Glad to see the interest. Also agree with Evil's comments. Last time I went riding with a Suzuki like that though it was covered in dust and dirt... , which haha may have colored my artistic viewpoint . Anyway, real happy to get fresh eyes looking at the thing. I was going blind twiddling... a lot of the changes started becoming subliminal.

    Just a quickie. Carrara render with a little post-work in Photoshop.

    Ships in bottles and a submarine.

    I'm not happy with the water shader or the composition, and it was rendered on low settings for time (still a 2hour render). Produced to a deadline, so it is what it is.

    I like it nonetheless!

    Is it Jack Nicholson? ;-)

    Seriously though, I actually have no idea. Is it a British monster?

    Looks great by the way.

    I really like how well you do black and white images.

    That looks really nice. Now, all you have to do is make a tempest in a teapot for the series to be complete. ;-)

    I totally recognize it but have no clue where it's from. Not Labyrinth or Dark Crystal... eh, it will probably come to me in my sleep, or when I'm not thinking about it, but it's teasing my memory.

    Maybe one of those '80s critter-type movies?

    Is that from Cat's Eye? I would never have remembered that but Jonstark mentioning Labyrinth and Dark Crystal got me thinking about the right time period I think. :)
