ok, my first experement with V3, and Also my First Experement with Postwork, the red haz is supposed to be blood, but as i've never seen blood in my eyes but once, i can't really figure out what it was going to look like. i could use sugestions on that, lighting, and anything else you can think of

here it is without the blood layers

I have heard of blue-blood before but never lavender :) You might want to "red" it up a bit. ladynimue

I agree - it definitely needs a bit more 'redding'. As for the dripping parts - if you have Eye Candy 4000, it has a drip filter that makes wonderful oozing drips - I always use it if I have to 'drip' anything, cos I can't draw! Only one other suggestion - the eyes are a little off focus - I mean, they're not quite pointing at the camera (very nearly, but not exactly!). You can fix this by either selecting each eye, then going to the object menu and slecting 'point at' and making them look at whichever camera you're using , or (and this works better, really, and was suggested by someone else here when I was asking a question about it) you can use a ball or something from the basic props that come with Poser, bung it into the scene, make the eyes point at it, then move it around until they're looking in the right direction, then turn the prop invisible. One last point - there's something odd about the second pic - did you perhaps use the sharpen filter on it? It's jut a bit 'dotty' here and there. Oh gawd, and I just thought of something else - the first pic is a bit too blurry for my taste - if you had areas covered by the 'red mist' that contrasted with other, clearer ares, it might work a bit better. I'll shut up now, and go back to cooking Sunday lunch (roast beef!). Do let us know when there's a finished version - I'd love to see it!

How did you save this out of Poser-- did you anti-alias? There are a number of ways to save -- Tiff, PSD, etc that save a nice crisp picture, with an alpha channel in case you need it. I save tiff at about double the final finished size. I do a lot of correction in the larger size so they blend in better. Hate to say this but, you would have a better chance of having all your scene visible if your hit woman was not dark colored and that includes her clothes. Red tends to wash out details in the dark. An alternative would be to use a layered program, put the color adjustment-- yeah more red and maybe not everywhere-- on a separate layer, and then duplicate the original layer it on top at around 20% opacity. It would also be interesting if it were a bit set off the original,like double vision. Things you want to make the clearest: her face, especially the smile and her gun. The gun is hard to see in the original even without the blood. I would suggest a chrome reflection map. It's a cool idea. Emily

how do you do Drips in with Eyecandy 4000?

oh, here is the picture with some serose postwork, HA! i'm funny.

this is what happens when you have more money the brains, you go out and spend thousands of dollors on software to make pictures, when you don't have a clue what anything does...
my brother was right, i shoulda Pirited it :-(

Nah, if you pirated it, you'd be blacklisted here and everywhere else Poser folks deal out advice and help. I can see it now. And Now I'd throw the blobs back in. Maybe a ripple if you can-- I get heavy handed with ripples. I know what the title means now. You've improved in one day. Seriously. That's a great outfit on the chick. Emily

thanks, i know pirating is bad, but i just think that some of the programs are overpriced for a collage student like me, Even with my student discount... anyway, i'm glad you like it, and more suggestions?
