I Just Wanted to Post an Image Thread

I thought you might feel that way about the outfit. The bottom is kind of rigid, and doesn't really sit naturally on the body because the scales aren't overlapping. Still great effort by the artist.

Agreed on everything. Looks good on some parts, but not in others. That bikini bottom is very important to this set, and I am yet to see one that does it justice. I have discussed some designs with VolpeBox, and it's a tough cookie. It's not just the modeling. It has to be functional in 3D.

Spent the weekend trying to think of ideas but ended up with the equivalent of a Poser doodle, testing out some now purchases and playing with materials.

Studio Set up - Studio Drapes-Base Pack by Esha
Mini Dress - Dawn Mini Dress by willyb53 (re-textured)
LongDress - Monique Dress by karanta (re-textured)
Jewelry - 7 Heart by Fabiana (re-textured)

I will quickly add there is nothing wrong with the textures supplied with any of this content, I just like playing.

Lighting is from a skydome. again with the texture played with to give a slightly golden glow, and a single spot matched to the skydome with reduced intensity just to pick out some highlights.

A day or so later, when Snape gets up around noon, after another night patrol he discovered that Fawkes has made the acquaintance of an oddly-dressed pair of the students.
"What are you doing with my bird?"
"We're watching The Birds with him. I think this is the first time he's ever seen it."

The drapes have a number of 'rims' allowing for various materials to be added, I have added a lot here just to see how good or bad the look.

I am attempting a Red Sonja outfit right now too, but it's not turning out the way I thought it would

I think Red Sonja is the hardest to get right because it's very peculiar, and I still haven't found a version I like.

Yeah, it's mainly because no two artists have ever drawn her the same. It's very hard to find reference pics because of that. There are some basic elements, but is that a shell pattern? or coins? chain mail? It's hard to decide.

very nice. this the vampi outfit at sharecg or your own creation?
No, this is one of my own. I used to put stuff on ShareCG, under the same user name, but I haven't do so in quite awhile.

what do you mean daz gave it all away? they been giving mil4 stuff away free?
It was awhile back. I downloaded the latest version of DS, and V4, A4 and Stephanie all came with the package. They have also given away morph packages, her base, the morphs++, et al. I haven't even used most of what they included. And I don't know if it's still available. It was all there in the download manager.
