I also thought Amelia looked fantastic and, inspired by Ken1171's render, used my Rendo Prime coupon to buy her. I didn't have to spend hours doing the conversion. I exported both Dawn SE and Amelia as cr2s from DS, converted them with Creator's Toybox, and used Vex's materials for Skyla, which worked perfectly. I had no problems with the morphs converting for Amelia. But I was curious about whether the converted rigging was any different. So I loaded my DS Dawn SE, went to the setup room, and rigged it with the Poser native rigging. I can see no difference at all in the poses. I transferred the Amelia morphs to my hacked DS Dawn SE, and everything works A-OK. Oddly, Amelia exported as an obj would not load as an FBM into Poser Dawn SE because of a different number of verts. But so far, the Dawn morphs I have injected into Amelia work. So here is Amelia with Skyla MATS wearing Ken1171's Charlie Kilo Victor Zero One outfit and standing on DAZ's Retro Ship Bridge.

Love how you got the reflection in her eyes !! So well done!!
Well.. any man would be a fool who didn't want to be her partner on the table... or woman for that matter.

I always liked a girl with a good appetite. We're enjoying a good dinner and each other's company, don't hold back because I'm not. Sweetheart was like that. I never wanted her to think "I should have a salad say I'm full."
I like the small touches in this one. Her glowing jewel rivets the eye. The futuristic bracelets look just that. It's something that one wouldn't find on 21st century Earth. It appears to be lit mostly by the candles and lamps around the restaurant t give the scene a romantic air. That steak looks real enough to eat. Thanks for inviting us to dinner with Caohime!

Thank you for the critique and to everyone else for the comments and likes, I had this idea as I rarely see renders of people eating or with food. There are only two lights used, one point light for the candle on the table in front of her and an area light above and in front to soften the effects of the point light. The pointlight is set to inverse linear and dropped to 20%. All other illumination comes from using Seachnasaigh's ambient boost node group on the different parts of the wall lights. Other than the iron work for each lamp there is also a ceramic, candle and bulb materials so I had a quite game balancing the strength and the colour to get the effect I wanted.
The food is from Steak BBQ - Props by Exnem, the dress is of course the Red Carpet Gown by Glitterati. All the jewelry is from the collection Even Glow Jewels by Fabiana but I have changed the colour and the glow, again using the ambient boost node.
Thanks again for all the feedback I really do value it especially as it comes from others that understand 3D art.

This one has a number of subtle changes over a similar render I did earlier, some of them worked, some didn't and others I am not sure. The only illumination comes from a dome, as before, but this time rather than use a hi res clothplane for the background I used the Studio Backdrop prop from the Poser 11 primitives. It appears to apply a effect similar to depth of field so you get the effect without the penalty of an extended render time. The back needs to be held back slightly as it is too strong for the figure in this render. Another change is the expression which I hope portrays an element of annoyance, well that was the aim. Choimhe has also had a slight change in hair colour which I think works better than jet black but I would be interested in other people's views. I have to render again to play with the background so I can always change the hair colour.

Thank you for the comment and the tip about the hair, I will do another render with the background darkened and a light brown hair and see what that looks like.
Now see, I like this background better, because Caoimhe stands out more, and since she's the focus of the render, that's not a bad thing.
As far as the hair textures, I like both, and yes they're both better than black, unless of course you were going to dress her up as a goth.

Thank you for the feedback. Goth is always a possibility but I could switch back to black for those renders.

All of the renders are great, Hornet, but that one dining is just stunning. You got the lighting perfect, and her eyes are wonderfully expressive and well textured.

Thank you I am always grateful for any praise and/or suggestions but coming from someone with your skills always has that extra edge. My intent this year was to try and understand superfly better and take a little more care with my renders in an attempt to add a little more impact. I have a long way to go but the comments here suggest I am on the right track at least so it helps to spur me on.
Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
