That would be cool. Very nice scene and it would be good for all of the wings to show.
I couldn't agree more. Seeing the full wings would really tell the story even better.

First thing even close to an artistic render in a long time. Here's a promo shot using creatures kitbashed and custom textured from my ongoing animation project.
Very nice kitbashing! You would never be able to tell
That's nice. May all of my kit-bashes be half as good as what you did here!
(And I just LOVE the green colors, by the way...)

I love the vivid colours as well, a really great render. I love to kit bash but I am not in this league, I can relate to you hardware problems though as mine can decide to shut down with no warning. Tried a number of tests but nothing fails and funds are too tight to replace it or throw money at it replacing parts that may or may not be the cure.

V4 to G3F refit of the old Angeluz armor, added stomach protection and a skirt.
For continued use I'd have to retexture the entire outfit.....
Rendered in 3Delight.
You don't even need a figure under the armor. Just load the armor and pose it.
That's just beautiful. And you know, there really isn't much in the way of Russian clothing out there. Might be fun to make some (if I didn't have a ton of other things to do). Of course the designs are such a big part of that style, that I might need to find help texturing such a thing. Of course, like I said, way to many projects already in progress now. . .
But anyway, I just wanted to say how impressed I was with this render. Yes it's beautiful, but it's also one of those renders I look at from a technical point of view, and you did an amazing job with the draping/posing of the fabric and the beads as well as lighting textures etc. Just wonderful.

Thank you all. I only wish I were better at morphing/modelling/rigging to give these guys some sci-fi bio-armor (that's how I envisioned them). I have a chest piece I may be able to morph enough, but nothing in my collection I find suitable for the spider parts.

I tend to use Terradome (the orriginal) a lot with added pieces made up of the old Microcosm flats. I found those work wonders. My one regret is I can never get magnets to work with either Terradome 1 or 2.

Yes the Terradome products look good but at the time I was looking for morphable landscapes they were not around so I splashed out for Vue Studio as it was on sale. Good as Terradome is I had no real need for it once I had Vue.
I am not sure if I have posted this before but here is an example of what I use Vue for. The big advantage for me is not having the play with the materials as Poser can handle it's own within Vue.

Vue is certainly expensive, even the base versions, as they are limited without the additions. Terradome is certainly the cheaper answer and works well within Poser, particularly considering it was never designed as a landscape generator. I had a basic version of Vue 8 but it was slow and unstable so I gave up on it then I came across a discussion on another forum that discussed Vue and how much it had improved by 2014. It renewed my interest and at that time they were having a sale, I can't remember the exact discount but it was over 50%, not sure if it was luck or fate but it was at a time when I had a little spare cash, a very rare occurrence.

Like most people I tend to be my own worst critic.... I'm not sure if I'll be much good as a content creator. I love retexturing stuff though, mix and match colors and I've been told I am good at it. (by my art teachers in college)
This is what I did to the Genesis Woodranger Armor from Xurge.
