Nice Mytho. My mom was a flapper, or rather she lived during that time, and I have a pic of her with a cloche like that one.

Thanks Miss B! I regret the only picture I have of my mother before WW2 is as an 8-year-old with long, blonde hair wearing a white communion dress, so what she got up to after, apart from marrying my father, I haven't a clue. The North of England wasn't exactly a hotbed of modernity in those days. However, she did teach me to dance the Charleston, (something which drives the grandkids to hysterical laughter when I get up to 'cut a rug') so I guess the spark was in there somewhere! :snoopydances:

I could be incorrect (wouldn't be the first time). I thought you could set the spotlight itself to not show in the render. I think so in Studio, but I don't use Poser so not sure. (And it seems that it has been forever since I even launched Studio.)

Normally you can set it invisible, but since it is a "photometric" light which is based on a geometry, if you hide the geometry, your light disappears too...

I love period renders like this, not generally easy to do as there just aren't the period outfits available, irrespective of the period you are aiming for.

I couldn't agree with you more Hornet. Fantasy art aside, the period around the 1920's/30's is a time I greatly admire not only for the great burgeoning of the arts (Art Deco, Surrealism, etc), during that period but also for the great surge of optimism which swept away old ways and introduced many new ways of thinking into everyday life. Not surprising really, because the world had just suvived hell after all. I've spent many hours scouring the various content providers for suitable items with the result so far of four outfits for V4 and two for M4 plus, of course, Satira's Nouvelle Aube for Dawn (the sole representative of the Avante Guarde!). Add a few very nice suitable structures like the Gatsby Dance Hall and even so, it's a very short list. That's a pity really, because it's a period in time which deserves greater attention for it's sheer scope annd variety! :)

Definitely Option 3. Among the great lighting and composition, did you add snow to her hair? It's great.

Shameless plug: my "Jazz Age Dames" was inspired by 20s Hollywood actresses. :whistling:

I also love the glitz and veneer of optimism that characterizes both the 20s and the 50s. The flapper dress from RPublishing is quite usable if you dial the shorter morph into the negative (seriously, people, flappers were scandalous for showing their ankles, not their knees! :rolleyes:), and Frequency's dynamic flapper dress looks like the bee's knees. One day I shall nab it. ;) (The 50s had better music, though: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Jo Stafford, the Andrews Sisters...)

Skirt length is a problem with most of the suitable outfits I have for the period, with the exception of the Flapper Dancer in the pic (main figure). One thing I would like to see are more adventurous textures for them. There are plenty of examples, some of which were wild and a good source of inspiration are those Laurel and Hardy films (and who needs an excuse to watch them!), which bring them into conflict with their leading ladies. Mae Busch and Anita Garvin in particular wore some amazing outfits. I acquired Frequencies 1920.s Flapper outfit last night and it’s well worth having. Lots of textures suitable for the period and plenty of morphs to help with fitting (including skirt length). One thing I like is the obligatory long jet and pearl necklaces are also dynamic so no problems there. Best of all is it fits Dawn straight ‘off-the-shelf’
