I haven't seen the latest episode, but apparently there's a Dalek that my kids are calling the ballerina Dalek (it spins or something) so I made this for them.

A quick second OT here, but where's all my gamers?  Just installed and started playing Guild Wars 2 (another addiction to keep me from my Daz addiction).  I have no idea how to add friends yet, but if anyone here is playing I'm looking for people to play with so send me a message.  

Here you go, medmon.  

This is one of the first Reality renders I was actually happy with and still one of my favorites. 

EDIT: And after looking at it again I think I might re-open this and make a few changes.

Very nice. Which Film response did you use? 

This is the Kodachrome 200. Agfachrome rsx2 200 is the one I use the most and also use Kodachrome 64 a bit.

Tsssk, drinking when a todler is present... tsssk.. ;)

This is a very HQ image Anton! ..now who might that couple be that I see kissing eachother in the background??

Isn't the presence of a toddler reason enough to drink?  My kids are 14, 7, 4, 2 1/2 and 5 months and I've considered it frequently over the years.

Yes, it absolutely is.  Almost a necessity sometimes. Glad someone has me beat on kids.  Mine are 10, 10 (twins), 6 and 3.  I get terrible looks everywhere I go like 4 kids is some insane amount.

Testing out some new eyes.

What hair are you using in these (and what settings in Reality)? It looks great and I could use a style like that. 

Had fun with this one.

I've talking a lot about how ugly Steph 5 is, so I wanted to try to make her look good.  Didn't make any changes to her shape at all, just edited materials in Reality.  I think it's the hair that makes the biggest difference. 

Quote - I am so glad I've seen all the SP5 shots I have.. I am pretty convinced she'll never have a home in my runtime.

The Riley character that came with the Steph pack is pretty nice and almost makes it worth it.  I'm working on a scene with her now and should have it up in the next few days.

And I did go out of my way to make Steph a little uglier than normal here. 

Stephanie 5 is just so ugly to start with that I had to make her even worse.

I think I'm going to keep going with a series of geeky girls fighting monsters.

Testing out the new characters and skins (and horrible hair) that came in the Stephanie 5 Pro bundle. Base Steph in the middle, Keira on the left and Riley on the right. 

I have to say the base Steph is kind of ugly, but I do like having more realistic characters to use in my library.

And I don't know why they keep putting the Pure Hair series hairs with these packs   (maybe they look good in 3Delight?), but I can never get them to look good with Reality.  The ones that came with M5 also looked like crap. 

Here's a quickie to break up all the big scenes I've been working on.

It's official--dark scenes really suck.  I wanted shadows and mood but Lux didn't want to give me a clean image with dark lighting. Took me days of adjusting (and compromising) to get what I have here and I'm not totally happy with it.
