Alien Skin Snap Art Oil Paint filter, plus about 10-20 layers in Photoshop. One layer utilises the filter which gives the brush stroke effect and which also has a very subtle canvas effect of it's own. Under this is a layer with a contrast-enhanced version of the original render. The paint layer is selectively erased to expose the sharper detail of the layers beneath. Once I'm happy with it, I then add the distressed FX and scratches as separate layers. The whole picture (as a single layer) then has a canvas effect applied to it, via Photoshop's "Texturiser" filter - I made my own textures to use with it though as the ones that come with Photoshop aren't any use to me. So, some plugins and a lot of layers (16 in total in this one, including the sky, smoke, haze and fog effects!) - hopefully it looks OK. I haven't seen a plugin which will do all the work for me - not sure I would use it if I could find one, as I'm happy with the creative control this method gives me. The final stage is to add the signature - it's pure coincidence that the first three letters of my surname are the same as the Mighty Frank Frazetta - means I can even use a signature like his!

It impressed me at first, and still does, but personally I prefer the painted and comic styles, preferably a blend of the two.

Quote - Are you sure it just wasn't the Vendor's character that was copyrighted? There has been issues with game developers using characters from vendors who didn't have the proper licencse but the game developers think because they bought it they can use it.

No, I've seen the vendor's attempt at defending his actions in a forum on his own website; lame and factually incorrect. A real shame as he's obviously really talented and could produce something similar of is own, based on what I've seen of his work.

I'm gutted as the comic-book style is exactly what I've been looking for for Poser for years....!

Seems to me the vendor copied the line art, hairstyles, clothes and everything, even down to a symbol on the character's belt, not just the likeness as in making a 3D model to resemble someone famous (although I think even that might be open to question under copyright law). If it was my artwork being copied I'd be pretty ticked off. A real shame; if he'd tweaked them a bit, maybe added different textures and props I'd be ok, but I'm uncomfortable using what appear to be exact copies of someone else's artwork. The concept though is great - Poser cartoon figures look brilliant, no more trying for photorealism for me!

Bill's suggestion is marvellous if you want/need to render all in one go. As I'd never thought of that solution, I've just tried it - the attached render took less than three minutes just now on a 5 year old Quad Core system, so I can vouch for Bill's assertion that it's cost-free; not an ideal scene to demo fog with but I happened to have it loaded as I was browsing.

For me, I usually go down the ZDepth render/postwork route as the amount of fog or haze is then easily adjusted, plus the ZDepth render is essential for masking and other 3D effects like depth of field.

As usual with Poser, the implementation is unique, and relies on the fact that Poser can produce animations as well as still images. If that puts you off, don't let it though, as motion blur is a surprisingly easy and effective effect to get the hang of. At the bottom of your main screen, you will see the two windows of the frame counter used in Poser animations, which by default reads frame 1 of 30. For the best effect, enter the figure 2 in the right-hand window; click "OK" on the warning that pops up about deleting frames. Ensuring that everything in frame 1 is set up how you want it, move the yellow triangular slider to the right - you should see the frame counter change from "00001 of 00002" to "00002 of 00002". Now take the element which is going to be blurred, and move it to a new position; the greater the amount you move it, the more it will be blurred in the render. In render settings, make sure you've checked "3D Motion Blur", and render your image at a high quality setting.

It's not dead for me; it's still my major leisure activity after walking the dogs. I still slap myself though when I let my guard down and render vacuous half-naked people standing around doing nothing much, though. Can't seem to do a 3D render nowadays without needing to take it to Photoshop to improve it with 2D; I guess I'm more relaxed about postwork than I used to be.

Funnily enough I just posted some new Bryce (and Poser/Photoshop) images last week, the first time in years. I had a few "Image of the Day" in Metacreations' gallery in oohh....1997/1998/1999? so I guess that qualifies me as a senior (as in old-time) Brycer...! Loved Orbital's comment on my new Bryce work!
