Wow, reading this thread i learned A LOT!!
A good amount of information in understandable terms.
I agree with bowiefan above. Thanks

Man that looks great even with it being just a test render..
Queestion. With adding gc to AALL the materials how does that effect render time?

OMG! now that what i was talking about.. how'd you do that?
The skin is amazing....

Wow what a differnce..
and this is just the test render? Did you apply bb materials to everything?
And is that the only diffenence between this image and the one above it?

On the drow i have to disagree. Skin has tones and highlights.. They are jet black but light still reflects of the skin, adding color and form...
There is a lot involved with it

Its a fantasy race of elves called Drow. and their skin is jet black.

man reading some of bb stuff.. sheesh it reads like the writings of a mad scientist.! LOLOL!!

That is what makes it so hard for me as i am basically a 2d artist and making the transition to 3d is a task. Things i did well naturally or instictively i now have to understand the mechanics behind to work them correctly in Poser...

i need paws..hmmm

Rattler You are correct. AS much as I hate to say so. This is not about defending the right of pedifiles it's about free Speach. But renderosity has the right to not participate in that if they chose.

RAttler You are correct.

I did not say some thoughts are not unexceptable, what i said is that they are private. the only one who should judge you for your thoughts is god, or your higher power. We as humans only have the ability to judge actions. Whatever inner conflicts we all have is personal.

Yu said' All these modern laws to "Protect Children" are making a world where ALL OF US only have the rights afforded to children" It is interesting that you said that, bear with me a sec.. Now i saw a documatary on this modern civilization that has virually no crime. The amazing thing was that 100 yrs ago it was the most violent place on earth. and now governments all over the world go there to try to study and learn how they acomplished it. the only answer that they gave was that they, as a group decided to put the safety and security of they're children above their own rights. i sat in aweand watched as young men from 7-16 roamed in packs through the city (much like in america) playing and laughing. You are correct. Actions should be punished. NOT thoughts. and government should not try to regulate them. Least we end up with thought police. but with a hyper-sensitive society such as ours, and lax enforcement of the laws what do you expect? the best One can do is work on oneself and try to pass those qualities on, and teach them to others who will listen.

To say that someone waking off in private will not manifest those desires in publc, is false. All things that grow including emotions/desires, when nurtured have consequences or 'bear fruit'. To deny that is to have no understanding of human emotional dynamics or potential. emotions tend to behave simular to the laws of physics.."a body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force. Isaac Newton". Ergo, emotions/desires unless acted on by an outside force or emotion, continue to develop to they're natural conclusion. This is not to say that one doesn't have free will, but to say that desires harbored in private, will come out... Regardless, if not sincerly altered by that individual, with help. Everyone has flaws, and there a lot of people in the mental health field, who are truly out to help people..and if you must know i am a group therapist. It just seems to me that renderosity is trying not to participate in the growing tide of child pornograpy on the net, and that's ok by me.
