One more quick note! :) I do plan on many more of this character. It's just my style as an artist. Some develop a single character, perfect a single pose and all the elements, produce one final product, then move on to a different subject. Maybe it's my past experience with photography, but I prefer to do alot with one subject, different settings, poses, clothing, accessories, etc..., and post the best images that come from that. In Poser/ Bryce I may try out many poses with minor tweaks in Poser, export the best one to three into Bryce, then rough out a bunch of lighting and camera angles, saving only the best, until I've save all I have the patience for. Then, I batch render in a medium size, preview render style, a bunch over night. Narrow those down, then re-render three to five in high quality and size while I sleep the next day. Then, I do the post in PSP, and then hopefully get one or two from those that are good enough to post. :) To give you an idea what I'm talking about here, once again photography has influenced my Poser/ Bryce approach. The latest pose, Gwen and Her Katana #2 and #3, are the two "finalists" from a rough Bryce overnight render batch of 37 camera/ light angles! Seven where redone in high quality the next "sleep time" batch, and these two made the cut. It isn't just random, I have a decent eye for lighting and composition, but if I where shooting these with a camera, I would take over 100 frames to get a few that are good enough to share. :) So please don't think I'm posting everything I render of her. Only a handful of those I've done have been posted, and none have just been "slapped out"!:) The earliest few were for advice, which I much needed. If I had realized, I would have posted them in this forum. The past five or so have been posted because I liked them enough to share in the gallery. The character may not be finished, and I still have MUCH room for improvement, and a TON to learn about this medium and the software. However, what I've posted recently are finished images of a progressing character. Fiontar
