Sunset on Floe

Vue render – made a couple of years ago but I still remember what a struggle it was to render it to any decent size. Finally learned to remove unneeded polygons ruthlessly, and to really cut down on the subsurface scattering…

Lawrence of Arabia

Quite a lot of work in Poser to get the pose and outfit going (I simply don’t have a robe that works, so he’s stuck with a cape … ). And then a LOT of work in Vue 6 Esprit to get the materials looking good again … And finally a bit of Painter magic (to hide the flaws 😉 )

Re-textures of Witchhunter M4, Valiant M4, Moroccan Dreams M4 and Poserworld’s Arab outfit for M3 all done with Stitch Witch.

This reminds me … I want to watch the movie again – it’s one of my all-time faves.

First Girl

I downloaded The Girl 4 yesterday and rendered this just to see if I could get existing clothes to fit her … the dress is Poserworld’s Angelic Dress for A4, and with a little help from Morphing Clothes, it fit The Girl 4 very nicely indeed.

The day job

Today I made this … that is, I vectorised – by hand – a bunch of clip art to cut with the laser cutter. I designed the frame a while ago. Apparently horses are popular scrapbooking topics.

The cool thing about a camera that can zoom 15x optically (Sony H50), is that you can take photos of critters that otherwise would be flying away at your approach …

Bats are nocturnal

An older pic … posed in Poser, rendered with Vue and painted with Painter X – this is one panel of a one-page comic strip that I made once. It’s not really batman, the costume is all wrong, but ah well, it was fun to do. 🙂

I know I shouldn’t take photos directly into the sun … but you know what? I don’t care. 🙂

Churning

The Crocodile river having a grand time at the falls in the Lowveld Botanical Gardens. Photo taken March 15th. It’s a good time to visit, the rivers are flowing, the bush is green (except at our place, where it hasn’t rained much at all) and the weather is lovely.
