The image is *not* postworked. This is a pure Poser 4 PP render. Ok the poses are all the same, but they didn't have to be. I just did that for convenience sake. I have a XP based Athlon 1800+ XP machine with 1 GB RAM. How did I do it?

May be using the crowd trick ? (a plane where the render is set as texture, the alpha channel being the transparency, and the plane being aimed at the camera ?) Otherwise, I'm clueless. Compiler.

Kinda. I rendered 2 V3s in that pose. One in white on a black background, one in full colour on a black background. The white one had the contrast boosted in Photoshop, and used as a bump map. Then I blanked out all the details in that one, and used the new version as a transmap. The colour version was left untouched, and the 3 images were then mapped onto an appropriately sized square. I saved the square as a prop and brought it into an empty scene 20 times. :)

Oh, you cheated! My heart is broken! ;-) I didn't cheat on this one, 31, count 'em, 31, all with clothing, shoes and hair. Totally maxed out my system. None are V3s, though!

Jim - it was your pic above which inspired me. I knew you didn't cheat, too. I wanted a quick and simple workaround for multiple high poly figures in a scene. Somehow, low poly background figures never look right to me.

Nice tricks, but no shadows in either shot.

I cheated (used max).

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Excellent render.

is it just me... or do these images remind anyone else of old Robert Palmer videos from the '80s? :)
