Wow, and thank you very much for the staff pick! As always, I'm amazed that anything I put together can hold a candle to the amazing artwork that usually gets posted here. Thank you, thank you for the recognition.

Now if only we could get Fygomatic to offer up some of the face morphs he makes... ^_^

That's great advice, and it definitely pays in the long run to read the tutorials, and do a lot of rendering yourself to figure out whats right for you.

That being said, I've been playing around with a light set called IDL studio by Colm over at RDNA and I like it a lot. Bagginsbill has something very much like it in his freebies, too. 

Their stuff is definitely extremely well made and visually striking. I really hope that they come back to the 3D world soon, I'm a big fan!

I guess it would depend on the picture. I don't think I've used that many borders in my work, but when I'm doing something that needs it, like a comic book layout, or something like it, well, why not?

Sooo... for those of us who aren't anywhere near as smart about Poser as the rest of you...

What is the end result you're trying to accomplish? A picture would save a thousand words!

Thanks!

Hmm... so if I create a set of skin shaders for a V4 character, can I save the shader group and apply it to, say, a M4 character?

"Come get some!"

That came out pretty good! Not too good for the poor diver, but nice job on the wake effect. Thanks for the tip, too.

Well done, chicken boy! Enjoy the acolades, and keep on producing cool stuff!

Same for me... I put my poses in a separate runtime, and then arrange them by character (M4, M3, V4, V3, etc). That definitely helps, some. 

Here here, I heartily agree! I think the best thing Daz3D (and other character artists) could do is to lock the parameters for joints that aren't supposed to move, and force people to pose characters accordingly. Barring that, there are a few pose artists (Aery_Soul, Danie & Marforno) that make very good pose sets. 

LOLOLOL! 

But if you're really upset with the effect the little furball has on your work performance, I'm sure a good taxidermist can help you out!

It probably won't help in Sam's case... the law frowns on stuffed babies...

And if you did that to ... well... one of the Rendo moderators, I think you might get a three day ban or something!

^_^

Hmm, PN, I notice that in your favorites you've got some pictures from Gizmee, Zorglube, Chimera, and RajdArge... all fantastic artists in my book, and all still posting. While there are a few of our favorites who may have moved on, I tend to think theres still plenty of folks posting work thats worth checking out (and that I'm trying to learn from too ^_^). 

Don't you agree?

Excellent artists, and thanks for bringing their galleries and stores to our attention. I'm sure they're out there doing their own thing, and we'll see them back this way eventually. Until then, keep on checking the 'whats new' files for new talent.
