Congrats to all who made it in. Wonderful works as usual.

Quote - The lonely clown surprised me.  Usually I don't even look at them because they're so creepy, but I'm glad I viewed this one.  He looks so sad and lonely.  Very nicely done.

Tollaris, I really like your white skin portrait. What did you do so that it came out so well and didn't blow out?

Sharkey, put some  sunscreen on that girl!  Cute scene.

Now I'm going to rush off and look at those vases again after seeing Paolo's render.

A lot of tweeking of lights and exposure settings, plus using Color Space set to D55 and Agfacolor FuturaII 400CD film responce. Making sure the skin's diffuse was set to 220 220 220 helped too.

Newest one that I have done. Pure white skin is hard to get so it doesn't blow out.

New one from me. Nothing major, just an image that poped in my head and wouldn't leave till I tried to make it.

Thank you for the honor and congrats to all the others who got selected as well.

If you have any idea on how to make thia task easier in the next version of Reality please let me know. I'm still on vacation so I did't have the Supersuit, but I can surely listen to suggestions. Cheers

One major thing that would help that drove me nuts with this one. Can we have lights able to be multi-selection edited as well like the normal materials? I know naming can't really be done that way for groups, but being able to set the actual lighting parameters for a whole group at once would be nice. A few other requests were made over in the DAZ forums by cwichura as well.

Can't post this over at Daz even if the flags were up, but as it is only a concept I don't want to toss it up on my DA. So, it gets to be shown here.

If you are going the gothic route, why not make the gun a small hand crossbow rather than a firearm. I have not seen many good looking crossbows out there in general, let a lone a good hand crossbow.

Thank you for the honor  and congratulations to the others as well.

There's reports of a 6.0 quake hitting Northern Italy this morning. Anyone know what part of Italy Paolo was vacationing in? The quake was in the region of Emilia Romagna, thats the extent of what I know.

One that is still baking. Only at 230 S/p after 3.5 hours, going to let it go all night and see how it looks in the morning.

Guess I can chime in here until the Daz forums are back up and running. Hope the flag system is top priority once they get the place back up over there.
