Hi everybody, I changed the title at the last minute because of news from MeredithWilson and this seemed like a quick way to get the word out. She has disappeared for quite awhile now and some of us were getting worried, so Parthius sent her a "Ping" IM just to see when/if she got back on at R'osity. He was smart though and told her not to reply, so of course she took the bait. Here is the scoop: Meredith (DNA) is bogged down in a Huge project at work (the kind where the people who work 80 hour weeks are the slackers). In between it being make or break for the company and a heavy dose of sleep deprivation, she has gotten behind on IMs and everything outside of the Job. She is really looking forward to getting back into the R'osity swing of things when her current distraction is over. She sends her love to all her wonderful friends here! Meredith (Digital) has been having a perfectly dreadful time, as she happened to be on the email server when it got corrupted and has been trapped! (In the process, Meredith/DNA has been unable to get any emai!) The big project has meant that nobody has time to get the server fixed, so we can probably look forward to some wild times on Digital's part when she finally gets free again! She didn't say when, but DNA and her Digital crew will be back as soon as she makes it through "the Project!" Here are some image notes: This was rendered in Lightwave8 using four area lights (one main, one fill, and two rim). With 12 pass anti-aliasing, it took around 30 hours of render time (definitely time to set up network rendering). This was meant as a baseline render to work on the shader and play with LightWave lighting. In the process, I identified some minor issues with the texture that will hopefully be corrected the next time around. BIG HUGZ, Kylee Blond Whisper Hair by hmann, Morph by Parthius
