I finally bought it. I'd had my eye on it for months. The backdrop tool is easy to use, and I'm grateful for the additional, free, backdrops provided by greybro(!?) I may need to fiddle a bit more with lighting, whatever... but it is nice that Nerd also included light sets! Wow.. This is much better than putting someone in front of a flat background and pretending it looks good. (The image quality isn't as good as it could be since Renderosity now complains if the filesize is over 200K. I need to save for the web, and reduce the picture size. But maybe you get the idea?!)

yes, check lighting. judging by the trees, the light is coming from the opposite direction, from up left...

Yes, I agree - Nerd should get the seal of approval for his backdrop tool. At first I thought lighting would be tricky, but I was wrong.

I obviously need to look at my pictures with the texture showing or something...because I hadn't a clue about the lighting being from the wrong direction. Here's a dragon picture.

Rena, Thank you very much for that tip. I'm downloading them now. I found some more on another site (I am quite forgetful today). It's absolutely fabulous that there is so much free stuff to go with this excellent tool. OH, I wrote Nerd3D to thank him/them for this fine tool. Mr Taylor was kind enough to respond and compliment me on the dragon picture. Wow, I will buy more of Nerd's fine products. I've already used many of Nerd 3d's fine free clothing for my artwork. I'm especially fond if the "thong" outfit. I used it on many poses, and it always managed to stay together and keep my women decent.

Yes Rena thankyou for reminding me, I quite forgot you had some images up for grabs. I go to poserworld, but foget the free bit most times, there is always so much I want in the main section.
