Thank you everyone! I love early SciFi, especially the 30's era when radio, microscopics and flight were the latest hot technology. In fact I have quite a collection of magazines from the period downloaded from Gutenburg (for free). Vital reading for any afficionado including the adverts at the back which often approach the realms of SciFi themselves. Patented nose-shape corrector anyone?
Wow! Very nicely done!
A portrait of Hope. 
This is just a quickie portrait that I did over the weekend. I decided that I needed to compromise and figure out what days to use for my own renders/artwork versus the days I use for vendor/freebie creation. So weekends are for ME, and the weekdays are for everyone else was the final decision. LOL
And, Hope's rebuild here is the result of this weekend's play. Some brushwork in post (snow, a little enhancement of the rendered DOF). But 99% of this is rendered out of 3Delight. Enjoy.

Well, Rialien didn't work out. As much as she wanted the part, Teromasu didn't want to have anything to do with her. I think he was offended by those goofy wings. So another Faery audition.
This is Ffionna. Teromasu is quite taken with her and it looks like they are going to work well together.

It is new, the first part of a new range called SpaceTech by 3-d-c, this is Jumpgate. It was on sale and also bucked the new trend of being only available as with Extended License, I just hope 3-d-c continues in this manner.

I'm auditioning a new Faery. The last one ran off with my bike. This is Rialein. She has a better attitude and hair, textures and attire from FK Design.
Her wings are from DAZ.

These renders are fantastic. I'm really wearing out the like button on this thing. I really need to keep up with these threads more so I can leave individual comments for each one. I don't know how Miss B. or Pendraia do it. My brain can't keep track of that many things at once.

Ohhhh, 3-d-c makes nice packs. I'll have to check this out.
What fun, and you've got yourself a new Avatar. I truly didn't recognize you.I modeled & rendered the Crater Critters in Carrara.. some of you oldies may remember collecting them from the breakfast cereal boxes when you were kids

I agree, I am a great fan of 3-d-c the packs always provide a great deal of render possibilities and the themes allow you to tell a story with some consistency as to locations.

Rialein is such a sweetheart I decided to put her in the role of 'The Seeker'. She was broken hearted that she didn't get the Faery part, but this will be much better for her. She's making friends with Babe already. They'll be working together in a lot of scenes.

I have a feeling that we both have a lot of the same models! Don't you just love space!? Well done.
Well done @StudioMartillo and you're avatar icon is really sweet! =)

That's a firefly render, isn't it? I can only wonder how long this piece took with those bushes. Bushes and trees are like hair and always add to the render time. May I ask if you use IDL or any special lighting?

When I render indoor scenes I use IDL. Outdoor the only environmental geometry is on the ground and backdrop, so not much would bounce to the subjects. Those trees have lots of geometry because each leaf is a seperate piece, much like hair strands. In the last scene, 'Making Friends' , as you can see the trees are casting shadows which takes a long time. Yes, firefly. I'm not very concerned how long it takes. I engage in this hobby to use up time so the more the better. In some renders where there are a lot of characters and hair, if you set the raytrace visibility off for the hair, which doesn't seem to affect transparency, but turns off shadows, the render doesn't get stuck on the hair. I generally do that because the hair casting a shadow on the face just obscures the face texture, and removing the shadow doesn't take too much away from realism.
