Notes: ND Daemonia is for skin only as I used a lot of morphs to alter her. I loooove how Arki's Wings look, but they are such a nightmare to pose (I suppose I should check how they behave on G8, but it was a nightmare on G9). PTF Ethereal lights are nice, but they need the environment intensity lowered quite a bit to get nice results (and I still altered the effects in postwork). Lynx seemed to have refused to render with fur on, so I'm either doing something wrong, or it's extremely resource-heavy.
I'd speculate that it's with the very creative use of autofit clones. The untextured clone model must be a sight to behold, and would have been remarkably difficult to create.
How the heck did you get the clothes, shoes, etc to fit to the horse's body?
Richard's answer of custom auto-fit clones is close, but I tend to call my fit shapes "anti-clones" because I've reversed the normal method so that I do the mesh shaping on the source figure before it's re-weighted (rather than on the target figure after it's reweighted).
It adds stages to the process, but it considerably improves projection accuracy, which is key for a complex transfer such as this. Even so, the reshaped clothing mesh often needs clean up - or, depending on how lazy I'm being, new holes cut to fit it properly.
It's also the first step of the 'Do a render with all the Daz+ freebie pools' challenge too
I wanted to play with the Drops Generator and I reused a scene that when nowhere a couple of month ago, replacing the swimsuit (originally I used a free retro one, and because I got Jacqueline through her Retro bundle, she was the one wearing it) with one by Lilflame, which gave plenty of areas to play with Drops Generator. The drips visibles on it are the posable ones the scripts can create, manually posed.
The scene is lighted by the new product by Martin J Frost. I'm not sure it's the best way to showcase it but I like the Sun and Sky system and having a couple of settings to play with it is nice (and also a way to learn a bit more about how to use it, by looking at how each property is set).
Oh wow, I really love what you did with the moon in that one!! the whole thing gives me a real "Greatest Showman" (movie) feel to it.
Thank you! I didn't see the movie, but I did have the 1920s (I was about to write "the 20s" but then I realized we're in the 20s now...) mood in mind when I made this one.

dominiquebm What beautiful compliments! That's so sweet of you to say. Merci beaucoup. Je l'apprécie vraiment.
Loving all the renders! Thanks everyone for sharing.

The centaur anti-clone shapes have been through a few refinements, but these days I've got a general method nailed down enough that I can generally create one for a new figure fairly quickly. I had this bunny suit render out within half a day of the rabbits being released.
The clones are indeed a bit of a sight, but then, to be honest, so are centaurs.

Love the summery feeling, paulawp (marahzen)!
Five days with no one sharing? There are still things to be rendered from the Premier sale, right?
Speaking of which, I was mostly using DD PBR Deco Wallpaper Shaders for Iray for Daz weekly contest, but I tried to add some things I haven't used yet, Elemental Mage Outfit and Lanah Hair. The rest of the items in the gallery.
