Here's a couple Poser 11 Superfly renders...
both renders above and below show pretty clearly that the 4k textures hold-up pretty well to close macro camera shots...

Ken, when does Vol 3 expect too be released. Will this enviro set be released soon too. If Stezza cannot have an Emu or Wombat in the foreseeable future, he may settle quietly for the blue-tongue, but I doubt it
Volume 3 is in QAV (as well as the DAZ Studio iRAY updates for the entire lizard series)... I haven't heard anything since Monday so I'm assuming they're getting close to release.
The Sagebrush Habitat is under beta now and I'm still tweaking material settings and textures. I spent most of today rendering promos and refining a few textures. From the render I just did below, you can see the new Artemisia (sagebrush) leaves. I decided to replace my drawn ones with the real thing (snipping some from our garden and scanning them).
I think realistically I can say that the habitat is probably a week or so away from submission. I can tell you what it will include... The set loads as a prop and has five parts; the base, 3 parts of grouped plants and rocks. I made it this way so the user will be able to load all of just part of it. There is also a sub-folder that contains single versions of the 3 included plants, 5 different rock shapes that can have 5 different rock materials applied to them and a ground plain with a tiled texture so you'll be able to expand beyond the mound prop. The burrow has a resizable opening (like by Kiwi burrow has). I haven't decided a 100% yet but the DS version will probably be a native DS version rather than the side-by-side runtime versions I usually do. The reason is that prop don't auto-load Studio materials unless they are the older .dsa format (which might not allow all the iray coding I want).

Awesome
yeah those too. LOLyou mean deep FRIED crickets?
I actually had to look that up in Wikipedia, as I've never heard of them before. The image they showed reminds me a bit like a lobster, or crab, which is what we have up here in the US.
OK, I was just at Weather.com checking out the forecast for the rest of the week, and I when I scrolled down the page, I noticed this really nice closeup of a Puffin so, of course, I clicked to see what it was all about, and it was a page showcasing the 64 finalists in their 2016 It's Amazing Out There Photo Contest Finalists.

There's 64 amazing photos, and a good many of them are birds.

The only way I've had them is either in a restuarant or catching them in dams. Some friends of ours had a dam when I was growing up. The kids used to swim in it in summer and they used to say the yabbies would nip their toes. That put me off trying to swim in it...plus I prefer sand on the bottom when I swim not mud.

I'm only familiar with the saltwater yabbies (also called nippers). They are plentiful along the riverbanks where I live , just take a yabbie pump and a bucket, go down at low tide and pump some up - then you are ready to go fishing with them as bait - perfect. These guys are smaller than the fresh-water ones the girls are referring to above. The fish love them.
yeah, I've seen the salties, I think they'd be too small to eat. We used to catch the freshies with the meat in a net in the creak but drag net the dam. I remember one time we were dragging the net and the rope came off, it wasn't too deep as you could still see a bit of the net (made from a couple of layers chicken wire), none of the boys would go get it so I had to (I don't think I've run quite so fast in my life )
