I made all these props myself and am pretty happy with them. I placed V3 in here and, having already mentally visualized the pose against the scenery, I implemented all the tricky bends. Got a couple freebie clothing items to add the finishing touches. The conforming stockings are having some issues but they were free so - bleh. So much work for such a simple thing.
So look at her thighs and knees, especially her left knee. What a mess. Anybody know of any free morphs to fix these? Otherwise I'm gonna have to go magnet crazy.
Also, I want to use focal blur - that should make her and the sculpture pop more. But this render already takes half an hour so I'm not looking forward to a lot of experimental iterations to do it right. I'm assuming that the primary controls on that are the focus distance and the f-stop on the camera? If not, is there some predictable method to just enter some parameter dials and get what I want? Any advice from someone experienced with the blur?
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

In P6, you use the focus distance guide to "quickly" configure the depth-of-field settings.
ernyoka1 has a depth-of-field tutorial at her website:

Just to add the "Adult Content" that bagginsbill forgot (so he/she doesn't get eliminated by the PTB... Cheers, Diolma

I know you didn't ask for a critique but I thought it might be nice to let you know that I think your picture is quite well done. Your use of compositional items in both colors and objects is quite stunning. Don't get the chance to go to the galleries very often...I have the dreaded dial-up connection. But would definitely like to see this when finished.

Thanks, kirwyn. You made my day. Thanks, diolma, I'll be more careful next time. Thank you Little Dragon - just what I needed.

You're welcome. When adjusting the depth-of-field, I recommend using Poser's area-render tool to do quick tests, rather than rendering the entire scene each time. You can probably disable shadows while testing, also; just remember to re-enable them for the final render.
