Janet does excellent animations...she is to animations what you are to post worked renders. Sometimes she asks my help to test the movements before she submits them to the store. I think I'll be doing some tests on Doc Pitterbill animations soon :)

Yeah, there was an article released recently by Rendo indicating their future plans for Poser...it's nice to have folks speaking highly of Poser again, and apparently Rendo has had a long history with it. When the sale of Poser was first announced, I didn't know how to react, but it's sounding like a good thing so far. I remember when Smith-Micro bought Poser from e-Frontier....it lit up the forums for quite awhile, as it always does. Thankfully, I think things are beginning to settle down now....had to speak shalom over it...haha.

I need to retrieve the Hivewire Lion scene files from the archive and render them full size...sometimes I loose track of the full size image, since I used to only post reduced renders...but recently I've started using the larger images. I realized that I was losing the appearance of the eyes especially if I reduced them. The appearance of the eyes is always important to me when doing expressions or renders.

This is totally off of the subject that we were talking about, but I ran across a test render for it in the archive just now...and I notice that this is on sale at Rendo now....it's called The Big Blue...and it has a Red Sea crossing option...look through the promos and you'll see it...I think it's the fifth one over :)

Geez...I'm like a little kid pulling things out of the toy box...haha....but this is easier shown than explained...it's a freebie that's called Q-Bee...and it turns any character into a bee, by parented props to the hip, back and head :) I used Poser's Andy to demonstrate it...when I found it, I thought it might be useful for the Hive :)

We're taking another turn now....I'm seeing this stuff in the archive while I'm searching for the lion. These were done when I was experimenting with creating angels with flaming swords...with Dusk and Dawn.

I still don't see the lion files...I'll check again later. I'll finish up with this. I modeled several biblical houses back around 2010 for my friend Sarah to use in her animated movies. Putting them on ShareCG was the only way that I had of getting them to her, but decided to leave them there when others started downloading them. They were created brick by brick, like Legos....haha....and the materials are dated now...but I started replacing the mats with D3D Superfly mats, and thought that it would work. It would take a world of patience to do them all, like putting together a puzzle, but here's a render demonstrating the difference...the light color being the original, and the darker being the superfly mat.

All these beautiful renders this morning!

Those drapes remind me of a freebie I had once. Ahh the loss of so many files. :tantrum:

I thought it was from sharecg, but I haven't been able to find them so far.

Hope you're enjoying the morning.

Oh yes, I just finished my breakfast and took my meds for the day :) I'll look around on ShareCG and see if I find any drapes.

Well, there you go....you found it :) There were only two pages to search at ShareCG so that was over pretty quick, so I just switched to Rendo. Glad you found it :) And everyone else can get the benefit of the freebie too.
