Looking wonderful, Kalypso! Where's that shirt from?

That's from the Seeress Outfit for La Femme

In this render I used your Iolanda texture :)

Wow indeed!

I decided to convert some Victoria 3 poses to LF and created this image.  The costume is Aery Soul's Stily suit for V4 converted through XDresser and the fitting room for La Femme.  The Buzzed Nape Short Bob Hair was retextured with Ghostship's Hair system.  I reworked her skin shaders by stripping out all the original nodes and converting everything based on the PhysicalSurface node.  The HDRI background is my own creation based on actual HDR reduced to luminance emission, there are no lights rendered with this image. La Femme was physically overhauled through extensive dial-spinning to a bodybuilder's physique, giving her a massive look.

Working on some makeup. Just for the eyes so far. Blush and lipstick at some point.

I am still tweaking the skin a bit. Face morph for this character is finalized. Body is still a work in progress.

Working on it with another vendor. Still lots to do.

Thanks for all the comments on it.

Nice "new" feature in poser 13... Looks great with the "light set". No PostFX...

.

some very nice renders I'm seeing here!

Working on posing.

I gotta agree with ghostship here - lovely renders, people!

...

I usually focus more on characters than environments, but I really like how well this "Lakeside Village " freebie renders.

@MajinBoo .. Where was that lakeside village from?

I thought this was for renders, not photos. Nice job

Evening mood in the South Seas...    What is she up to?

Ok...

Cooool, looks great. I would have the matching drinking glasses ... somewhere on the previous pages of this forum.

That's just me nit-picking, though.  Sorry.

Good suggestion, but the glasses wouldn't normally be stored with the bottles.  For your suggestion, a couple of bottles on a table with some glasses awaiting might be a slightly better pose.

That's just me nit-picking, though.  Sorry.

Fantastic pictures 

That image is from the stz billiard room set. I just jammed the camera into the back of the bar. All shaders are from my set in the marketplace.

@Miss B .. I found it, it's TruForm's Lake Town in the freestuff.

Playing with old Lafemme while awaiting new Lafemme. Don't know if the oddity on her temple is a flaw in the morph or a shadow. More investigation is needed.

Keep 'em coming people, this thread is such an inspiration - fantastic renders!  Although I wonder why some of you only post here and not in the Poser gallery as well :) 

Kalypso, I often wondered that as well. But I didn't have to wander far.....

Many of the ones I post here and in other threads are in my gallery, but not all of them obviously. For example, I don't post explanations of how I do something in my galley. 

I personally think a lot of people stopped posting in the galleries after the daily limits were raised to the point that basically no one comments anymore.

The comments gave people a connection to the community, and that is basically gone now.

At one point I had stuff in my gallery with hundreds of comments. 

Then someone deleted my gallery, the entire thing. Years of my gallery, completely gone. Close to 10 years of posts....

I stopped posting in the galleries here for years because of that, and stayed in the forums I ran. Can anyone imagine why I choose to stop participating?

Then I started participating after being asked to do so again. I don't remember who asked me that time. I was the lead moderator at Runtime then. Possibly Kristi...

Then it happened again, accept it was a selective deletion over a change in policy.... And I was attacked in the forum I ran, by that very person....

Later, I got a few apologies for it, stating they didn't realize who I was.... Why would that have even mattered? Who knows.....

None of those people are here anymore..... Even if they were, it still would not matter to some. People have their own reasons why they don't post anymore.

I had a very good reason not to post them here for years. And yes, I know exactly who did it, and why they claimed to do so..... Both times....

They took pride in making sure I knew why, in a different forum...

So now you don't have to wonder my gallery is so small now.... And you may wish you had not wondered....

I came back to posting in the forums here because I was asked to help others in the forums again... Jenn asked me, and I did it for her because she asked me.

There was going to be something similar to the program at Runtime for people that actually helped other people...

Ambassadors. But that didn't pan out.... I don't even think that forum is still here.

But here I am, still trying to help Poser, the people with questions, etc.

I have even started making content again.

If those that did this to me years ago out of spite, still lurk here. It didn't work so well now, did it...... I am still here, and you are not....

I didn't even have to remove you by your own actions, you did it to yourselves without any external help.....

Just to clarify, I have no issues with the present people running the forum here. What happened was long in the past. But it is worth bringing up, so it is not repeated.

And I no longer run forums, for people to realize who I am............... That still baffles me.......

- you are not allowed to interact with someone congratulating, which means no question-response, which leads to less and less comments

I'm a gallery mod and would love to see more of these posted in the galleries. I'd also love to hear ways to possibly improve the galleries so I can pass them up to be considered.

After several nervous breakdown with my messy harddrive, I uninstall some software, Poser, Blender, DS. and organize them new. Now I  happily  re-install and test them for correct working.

My Poser 13 Test render

Summer time

Postwork PS , some vibrancy and curves. 

There is no point posting at the galleries here. No one comments, the images are buried immediately under the slew of AI and neatly identical serial pictures in New... on this forum at least there are like minded people who are immensely helpful and give constructive advice. I work weeks on renders, have severe impistor syndrome about what i do anyway, and have  absolutely no echo or reaction to them sometimes makes me want to just throw this whole thing out completely.

Anyway, don't want to unload on anyone, just feedback to Kalypso's question as a non- creator end user 'artist' person.

What do you mean by this? There is commenting (though some people do turn it off) and they've even added the ability to make multiple comments on someone else's work.

I'm a gallery mod and would love to see more of these posted in the galleries. I'd also love to hear ways to possibly improve the galleries so I can pass them up to be considered.

I have the feeling that sometimes it could lead to more interactions. For example by allowing a separate thread, such as with Discord, and it could use part of the forum mechanism. I'm not casting aspersions because, as a developer, I know how difficult this can be in some cases, just my two cents 

Oh and I admit that I'm addicted to smileys as I find them be part of the communication, replacing facial expressions and hand positions used in everyday situations

Wow... Your picture has the delicate, vibrant energy of a ray of sunshine after three long rainy days: it does a lot of good, thank you 

PostFX only contrast.

After installing the boat Poser flipped off from the screen...Popp and out....a bit to much content?
