:lol:

latest promo email says get ready for battle.

can't we put away the swords and axes
and have a love-in at the temple? 
velvet gloves, silk pillows, antibiotics :lol:
stuff without hurty pointy killer bits

not as extreme as what's at rot'ka, not as sleazy feeling as the rmp?
 
an as yet undefined gray area between? 

temples don't need to be cold stone

just a thought. listening to the news today,
the violence feels extra soul crushing spirit bruising.

love-in  

they invented it in the 60's ?

i be all  for  havin a  love in

kewl. :)  

temple love-in 

booking the onion dancers  

sounds good  to  me

I agree...

What passes for "entertainment" in todays world is rather alarming.

We are gradually being desensitized to violence.

We can have alove-in by all means but if we are going to create renders along those lines we have to very careful about what bits show.  Thats the thing with swords you can show the whole thing and don't even have to put a warning on the image.  Same can be said for guns, tanks any sort of weapon really.  Makes showing renders so much easier if it has weapons but no intimate body bits.

we could start with rendering the hosts, guests, watch them relax and loosen up.

actual touching though,
where else could we post non/violent renders?
maybe a lil slap and tickle?

Slap...isn't that violence, is that allowed?

it's a feel-good kinda slap, a lil tingle, not hurtie ;)

I'm up for a little tingle

Posette never had her own temple?  some tapestries to warm up the decor

The problem with the love-in is all the temple scenes Vikki is supposed to be Nakkid. All you are doing is inviting hackers to steal you images from the cloud and then distribute said Nakkid images all over the net...:lol:

world wide love-in

tee hee we should put like a lil banner on our images, 

'from the rpf  - world wide love-in'

as napoleon would have said if he had a sense of humour and spoke latin, "si vis bellum, para pacem".

p.s.: word on the street is that those imgs remain on cloud servers even if they're deleted.  they only disappear when overwritten, e.g. multipass zeroes.

searching the 70 percents sale for a cozy temple. not seeing anything yet.

The real world version of the temple you seek might be found in Khajuraho, India

Hey, wait a minute....

jeanie interior deco sure look cozy.

Mikki - warming up the temple :)

Anastasia 'where's this posh temple love-in at?'

Phoebe - 'where's my invite'? 'will there be guys there'?

Sydney's tickle game, first is the lil tickle, ...

Nice...

she looks ready for sharing the love.  every temple needs a pool in the back.
 

looking at my content options, i'm thinking the 'mage tower' with some new materials and pillows - i forgot to check if it had a fireplace 

a special enchantment on the temple, turns all doth Ye enter yon swords and weaponish things into cuddly love-in toys

I only have one temple, and I downloaded it because it was in the freebies. There really isn't an interior in it, so I bet I could model one. One that has soft places to sit, or whatever in it.

DAZ used to offer a freebie that included an "IDoJ" inspired bottle, a stopper and a separate interior.  The interior was that elborate, some geometry to depict the encircling "sofa", some models of pillows and the inner curving surface of the bottle.  That various geometries were "fused" as a single static prop and all the details were realized through modest resolution texture maps (as you can see in my posted example).

When DAZ closed that older freebie section, well, the bottle and its interior "disappeared".

Sincerely,

Bill

That looks fairly close. If I had the time, I would go ahead and redo it. At one time I was even going to make the Jeanie costume for Dawn, but I believe someone beat me to it (I know there is a V4 version of it somewhere too).

Somebody go for it, (the Jeanie Bottle with removeable or hideabe quads-foir sides for ease of camera positioning) with a reply of, "Yes Master!"

Then make a pose set to go along and make a CG Spree bundle and get rich quick :biggrin:

lol forget hiding walls you need 2 props

the bottle from the outside and the room inside

bottle small and the room HUGE

my 2 cents(forgive the "term" some of ya dont know what a ha'pence is rofl)

woes.  rotka gallery giving me error msgs trying to u/l.  

doesn't like pc-safari or ie8.

tos busting love-in >.<

I know what 'rot'ka' stands for but who/where is 'rmp'?

Thanks.  

i did buy this skin in the rmp, can't remember what it was named  >.<  

want to see if TC2 can convert nicely for A3

@MistyLaraPrincess:

Every time I click on this thread, that first pic you posted of Miki 4 grabs my attention. I would really like to know your lighting and render settings. The quallity of that render is amazing. I want to produce something like that...

iirc, i used a lightset that came with blackheart's anastasia. Asian beauties for Miki

PP12. sss.  12 bounces. irradiance =100, min shade 0. sync. no gamma
i use high pixel samples. 

i was comparing idl and ibl, rendered the same scene twice.

idl

ibl - one point light, one vanilla ibl 40%
 

settings might be overkill, but don't want to whine about shmootz and not use high settings :)

Cool, thanks. I think the IDL has a nicer feel. The IBL does light the scene better, though...

I did a quick render last night, using a pose someone made for Miki when she first came out (my memory ain't what it used to be), but I like the pose you have there. I may try to emulate that.

My render came out nice. It takes a long time to render her even with the default settings, but her SSS shaders come out really nice.

I'll post my render when I get something I am not ashamed of.

I used BB's envirosphere with a black colored .jpg, bumped up the render settings

Cast Shadows ON

SSS on

Raytracing 3 bounces

IDL quality at 48%

Pixel samples 19

Min Shading Rate .2

Bucket size 6

IDL Intensity set at 65%, 3 bounces 1004 samples...

Oops! One mistake I made above:

The panaramic image in the Envirosphere is a dark sky that I made a bit darker by lower the Value in the HSV mode to .7...

trying to think of how to make Miki a lil sweaty :)

Without EZSkin it's a bit tough. Most of her nodes have something plugged into them. On the P7 characters, it's just a matter of setting specularity to 10, and highlight to 0.

But EZSkin has a plugin that makes wet skin...

Attached Link: Sydney hot and sweaty

maybe there's a way to use dyn cloth sim to drape water beads and rivulets on her

Hope this is OK. It really fits the theme of this thread, so I just had to post it (but it was rendered in Octane via the Carrara plugn). You might say its a real sweet spin on the Vicky in a Temple with a Sword. (click on the image to go to the full version for better detail)

Vicky in a Studio with a ...... Donut??

nomm sprinkle donut :tongue1:

comfy / cozy  

You just can't go wrong with spinkles 

Or how about stepping outside the castle to get a bit of sun (of course you'll want to take your magic staff with you just in case)?
