Me too Rae...I've bought the base but haven't even downloaded it yet!Me wants the Gecko! (I needs some money!)
Loving your renders Szark
Yay Skink!

Awesome
Thanks everyone. Got some great feedback off Facebook and DAZ forums so I am redoing it with those pointers in mind.
I got a "colours too saturated " which I do agree with. Iray has a main overall Saturation adjustment slider in the render setting under Tone Mapping.
The other comment was about the eye not having enough pop. I found a big honking tree trunk in the line of reflection, as soon as I hide it the reflections appeared. Gives more life to the Lizard IMO.

Thanks Chris. I saw it in the newsletter too. Shame you didn't wait for the next version.
This is another product I have been waiting for a long time to come and so glad Ken decided to do it. I want to do a Vue image with the Gila when it comes out. I still haven't had time to play with Harry much yet.
Here my first my first texture wip render on the Eastern Collared Lizard (male) for Volume 3... good enough to post this teaser, but it still has a ways to go (to do list: better tail blending, collar texture sharpening and seam corrections)
nice work!
Looks like you have more reflective light into the shadow side of the face. This is an improvement, and the eye looks better as well.
Excellent work Szark!! Impressive attention to details.
And now that I look at them side by side, you've done quite a bit more than what I mentioned. Some very nice tweaking.

@Szark :
Chris said it!!!!
I spend hours posing, experimenting with lighting... I feel that detail work is so central to creating art that is as good as it can be!

Volume II is out!
I should also alert everyone that there are updates to the Base Set and Volume I (if you bought them before today 12Aug16).
These updates correct a small issue in the CR2 when using the Gila Monster, some issues in the DAZ Studio version in both sets (regarding the GilaMonster morph) and include the missing skink from Volume I in both versions.
