...and the Bong Band :) The first one, the Bong bass player, was for Music2u4u on the DAZ forum...since his pic was like that, very long hair and a hat.

...and the Flisch Blue Man Band. Flisch was the last character released while we were on the DAZ forum. All of the threads were gone within days after his release. I remember someone commented that he reminded them of the Blue Man Group...and after googling it, I put together a Blue Man Band.

This video is interesting...the Blue Man Group has a session with Japanese Kodo drummers. It goes without saying that one has to be in good physical condition to do this. I was given a drum set at the time of my retirement, for use to strengthen my legs, and within a couple of years I had progressed to being able to play a five or six song set (around 45 minutes) without stopping, but then my strength started declining during a two year battle with cancer, including two surgeries, so it would take steady determination now to reach the pre-surgery level of strength. But I can still enjoy and appreciate good drumming :)

I learned a nice trick (which is probably common knowledge to anyone familiar with the material room) while messing with Thing in a box, that is, the wonderful use of complete transparency on stuff on an .obj not needed in a scene. I really like 1971s stuff on Rendo, but it creates problems having electrical lights displayed on a building for historical or biblical renders...but, since the lights have their own mats, I was able to make them disappear completely, and the window glasses are replaced with wood like the door. Original house, which is beautifully done, is here, with altered version below.

I'm having a great time looking at this thread! Great job ladies! If I ever get done rendering these movies I might come up with a couple.

The more the merrier Janet!

Yay for me! Hubby has now completed my craft area in extra bedroom. Now I just have to put all the stuff away. So I'll be out of here most of the day. I have a LOT of stuff! :D

This an oldie called "Chained to a Morning Person"...this was for a co-worker who used to arrive to work every morning extremely cheerful and talkative, before the rest of us could keep up with it...haha.
