What's this? A Tako Render thread? No way!
Yes way!
Oddly enough, my muse took some time off from 3D for about a month before slowly oozing her way back.
I'm probably rendering again because I am waiting for my old camera to sell now that I have my nikon.
So, rather than worry if it's going to sell, I will pour my jitteriness into some renders.
Let's see if my muse will keep it up or not.
************************************
Anyways, here is my first render for this brave new forum.
Image rendered in LuxRender using the Reality plug-in for DAZ Studio.
Render time: 48 minutes with two versions using different focal points and f/stops rendering simultaneously.
Blended the two renders together in Photoshop Elements with some other minor postwork.
In the Reality plug-in window, very little tweaking was needed for the materials used. I set the little floating robot's "eyes" to blue glass. I set the red LEDs in the BG to lights. Some other minor adjustments.
The rest of the lighting is one Image Based Light free from HDRLabs.com/sibl and one curved "meshlight" behind the camera which is essentially a glowing plane with bent sides.

my kind of girl ;-P
I like the whole real/anime thing going on here.
Thank you bigh and Muireanne for your support. :)
Cool images.:coolsmile:
Well hullo, David. Thank you for visiting my new thread. :)
You're very welcome.:-)
Here's a render I call
"Distraction"
yup, a really good distraction. :P
No matter how smart a man is. If an attractive female were to say something or distract them they may not get that what she really is! An evil, manipulative, succubi that just wants a good meal. Or she could just be an evil mastermind that wants to take you out... Granted she could also be just a sexy woman with a bat clasp that likes the bright outdoors. :P
Sure the only safe bet with this type a woman is to just not be attracted to attractive women with bat clasps. :P
That skin, it's Elena from Rendo right? Or is it Ireland. Either way, I'm caught in the trap. ;)
It's Dublin from Renderosity. :-P
I just put up a force field whenever they're about. Sure, it also cuts off my oxygen so I can't talk properly and most likely go into seizures, but it keeps me safe. :-)
nice hair :)
Thank you, bigh. :)
I'm feeling very distracted right now. Not sure why.
It must be your burnt retinas from the new forum color scheme. :-P

I'm still quite distracted.:-)

You said it.
I'm very impressed with your renders Tako, you've mastered the art of Reality :)
Now I need to master photography so I can quit my day job and become a traveling gypsy. ;)
Absolutely beautiful artwork my friend, I cannot pick between them! :coolsmile:

Just stay away from those televised traveling ones. Those chicks are effin crazy.
What can I say? I'm a sucker for redheads! Great job on that one!
