Okay, the idea here was to try to capture an early seventies ambiance...note the wood paneling walls. In this image, Shayda Shares the couch with a Modified Sarah Michelle Gellar (Just 'cuz Sarah Rocks and wanted to put her in something, since I have her...) You are supposed to get the idea of a pot plant next to the couch, and that our Hippy-esque Shayda is passing you a joint. (Note: Shayda does not promote Drug usage in the Present. However, in 1972, well...it was the seventies, c'mon!) Darth_Logice promotes a drug-free existance supplemented with regular Cigarettes and a TON of Mountain Dew..) There, disclaimers out of the way... Shayda WAS wearing Bell Bottom Jeans, but you don't know that because Poser totally ate them and won't barf them up. The Plant looks like my sisters scribbles, though it looked right PRE render, of all things. You cannot see how I cleverly reddened the whites of her eyes. You cannot see the alleged Joint. You cannot tell that the table is a glass-topped table. On and on, this image sucks, and I don't blame me, but Poser 4 for flaking out on me three hours in. Now, I'm lucky if I can even get the PZ3 to open. *#((*#&(_)(@#*&*#*(&!!!! -Darth_Logice

I realize the Garland is way over the top, but It's all I could find on short notice. Do you like the blue tint on the lenses? I do too, except you cant bloody see them! Warning to all: Do not attempt to make Sarah Michelle Gellar smile...she seems to become quite unrecognizable, as you can see. Please print this one out and throw darts at it..thank you -Darth

Darth, I hate to throw one more barb at it, but here you go...the lack of shadows doesn't help either.

Here's a thought...maybe if you render the image first with just the paneling and the background elements and then use the "paste to background" option, save the file, reopen it and then add the foreground elements, it might keep Poser from eating so much stuff out of your scene. Kate

and there is a good old hemp plant mesh out there somewhere...my mind seems to be foggy about where for some reason. WoW..I like the lights!!!
