criticism welcomed I have 17.5 hours in getting this "just right"

jes funnin ya goofs! ;)~

Hmmm,reminds me of a time when I searched nine months for exit.

I like the texture on your black cat. ;)

The black shadows look great also! ;)

wait, am i the only one not seeing anything. it's just a black image with nothing. i don't esee any cat.

Because the cat is partially hidden by that large black bear...nice job! Have you submitted it to the gallery yet? Marque

The shadow on light 118 should be pulled back a touch. After discussing vendor promos in another thread I think you should sell that render as a V3 high resolution map... it just needs a little retouch for the promo images so it looks good with default lighting.

This reminds me so much of that Rembrandt classic 'Midnight in a coal mine'. It would look great animated. Oops sorry it already is!

Why did you replace the default Poser lights????? You aren't supposed to do it. Now put those green and pink lights back in place this instant. ::::: Opera :::::

What version do you use that gives you green and pink lights? lol Marque

how long did the render take? :P

It depends whether you have the darkness tracing turned on or not. :)

Great job raz! Well worth 17.5 hours of hard work! This reminds me of a fairytale I once read... what was it? There was an emperor in there if I remember correctly. France

Hey, you stole my image!!!! I can prove it's mine too ... I have a dozen more exactly like it on my hard drive :P ;)

you might want to remove the cherubs though, ya know TOS and all. ;) hands out fire extungishers to kill flames -- just in case

I didn't know you could set shadows like that. I still can't find the Vickie, the sword, the slavering grue, or the exit to the northeast..;)

Excellent! I am highly encouraged to try rendering one of my favorites: the ever-popular white horse in a snowstorm. ;-)

Nope if you look carefully they are fully clothed in long black cloaks, no need for removal....heh Acadia if you look a little closer there is also a black watermark in the lower right hand corner. Marque

yes but it bring attention to their, ohh hell I'm not even going to go there - Yeti in a blizzard.

Byrdie - you must of been typing as I was rendering (and typing)

LOL! They do say great minds think alike ;-)

so what's our excuse?

Uh ... we're bored?

ROFL... you guys crack me up! :P

grabs the super glue
Quick Byrdie action time!!
glues jonbg1 back together Whew, almost lost another one.

A couple of weeks too early for this one, Raz...

I have a copy of Acadia's image - I attach it for comparison.

Think you might wanna add controversial to the warnings on your Yeti In A Blizzard render there,thixen. Some folks might mistake him for a rare albino Wookie and call it copyright infringement on GL's models. Plus, are you absolutely 100 percent positive he's over 18? Hard to tell with Wook -- er, Yeti.

I put a large white square over his genitals and gave him wings, see it's Fae.

Steer, see their are differances in the background, but it could be tubed, it's hard to see but I can see a thin black line around the cat.

Badly tubed, too. That line is all jaggy.

Here is another one - Snow Angels Fearies playing in the snow I blacked out all the stuff that could break the TOS. *pause* ((I hope people know I'm just pokin fun. See how silly these flame wars seem some times? At least to me)) *unpause* - ok back to the mayham!!

I read somewhere they were banning squares. Dunno why but I hope it doesn't extend to circles and triangles -- I really like triangles ;-) Of course, that might only be in the Marketplace, not the galleries. And maybe only in the first preview pic/thumbnail, the rest might permit judicious use of artistic squares, especially in texture sets. But you'd probably best be careful all the same. (Note to lurkers: Yes, we are just clowning around with this. No, we don't mean any harm. So there's need for anyone to get all huffy or bent outta shape. :-)

I'm amazed that a moderator hasn't deleted this thread already since raz forgot the "nudity" tag!

I am impressed that you could fit the new Dragon in the Closet and not have any collisions! At first I thought it was a Leather Coat, but then I noticed the tail wrapping around the Balck Cat and Black Bear. One suggestion: Turn off Cast Shadows, it will speed up your Render Time and I do not think you will notice the difference.

Yipes! Bestiality! Quick, someone delete this thread! And ban those bloody perverts while you're at it. What? You want Ashcroft's minions to come over here and shut the whole darn site down? ::looks frantically around for any sign of approach Holy Republikan Stormtroopers::

thats funny, the figure behind the cat kinda looks like Ashcroft. Infact both the cat and Ashcroft just looks like it was cut out of a photo. Didn't know cats could smile like that either. ;)

thixen, that's probably why Ashcroft hasn't moved in on this therad yet... He's afraid that the picture will become headline news... Better keep it hidden in an obscure 3D community such as this!

Too late, the Enquirer's already made an offer. One involving an obscene amount of money, or so I hear.

Well... The Enquirer has as much credibility as this thread, so it won't make much of a difference ;-)

Hold on, I got the weekly world news on line 2, I smell a bidding war (or is that just the bean and sauerkraut burritos I had for lunch?)

Nope, not gonna go there.

HEY! This thread should be moved to the product showcase forum. This is CLEARLY a blatant infraction of the TOS. This is obviously a shameless plug for the new product comming out called "Black".

No, it belongs in the copyright forum. Black is even more obviously a blatant rip-off of Ebony. Not to mention Midnight, and Darkness Reigns Supreme.

no..bean and saurkraut burritos are an infraction..or infarction, or something..;) gad, what a concept..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

Reminds me of a post I submitted to a thread called "hmm what kind of art to make?" Kristta

OMG, it's wonderful! I love it! Stupendous! Brilliant! breathtaking!

Nah... It will look much better (blacker, that is) rendered in Poser 6. Just wait and see!

Have you tried it in Vue?

Here is one of mine. As you can see it has the same dimension and depth as what raz posted, as well as the same brilliant use of colour. So I surmise that based on those facts, that raz's picture is really mine ;) *hehe*

::squints:: Well, I don't see any resemblance. Then again, I'm legally blind so ...

passes out some fruity rum drinks and tacos with salsa :)

Thanks, though if you don't mind I'll skip the tacos. Popcorn, anyone?
