Charlie Tuna... it was a Vickie render of a new texture a guy had put in freestuff... I simply shot down Tigershark for attacking it for saying it was too pale to be Egyptian. Just because it was a redhaired pale Vickie, and I simply wrote there were redhaired Egyptians in the Bronze age. In fact there were quite a lot of caucasians in Northern Africa in those times, if you look at Egyptian art depicting Syrians, who were always drawn as caucasian people. Redheads are by genetics, partially melanin deficient anyway, and are going to be paler than people in their same gene pool that don't carry the redhair trait. I used for historical reference, Ramses II, whose hair on his mummy has been tested to be naturally redhaired... researchers believe his hair was dyed with henna after death to approximate the colour it had been in his youth. the render was fine... average, had some nice lighting, and some pretty nice hair painting too. I guess the guy didn't like having crits, but then not many do, and well, the one that he got really wasn't talking very about the tech merits of the picture. I gotta agree... if you are using poser to do storyboarding, then post some of your storyboards and show us what you think is good composition. Poser is about composition, posing and expressions to me anyway, we all know it sucks wind as a renderer.
