Description


Rendered in Poser 4. No postwork. This is about as straightforward as a render gets - nothing special going on. The scene is meant to be from Dune, probably from one of Paul's childhood practice sessions with Guerney Hallek on Calidan. Credits: Catsuit textures and set from www.beyondbent.com. Conforming force shields by me. Morphing dagger by Bryan J. Maloney. Hair on right by Lourdes. Hair on left comes with Poser 4, as does the practice bot in the background. Mike and pre-teen kid by DAZ.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! Your Gurney Halleck looks nothing like Patrick Stewart! :P Great job though :)

Nice work, Ajax. Doesn't look like Paul has much of a chance now. But I guess his turn will someday come...

Patrick Stewart?!! YUK! the damn movie SUCKS!!! I don't think it ever came close to Frank Herbert's original vision, how unfortunate....
Anyways, the scene is ok. Better lighting could be used in the background though. The renderer and lighting system in Poser is really poor compared to what the market currently offers but if you turned out the infinite lights and introduced spotlights to render the entire scene probably David Lynch would be envious. Anyways, if I recall, the duel scene above is from Paul's study (according to the book). Maybe a smaller set would tighten things up. Nice effort though, okay then I'm off to feed my pet Shai-Hulud :P
Ya Hya Chouhada!!

Well I like it... and I thought of the book, not the film when looking at your picture. Awesome work on the shields! And tell terrencecooper that, bad as the movie was (compared to the novel) - the screenplay was written by Frank Herbert. He knew what he was doing, read the introduction to his short story collection "Eye."

Great scene here. Paul's dagger seems like it needs a bit of post work, however... Am I the only Lynch nut here or what? Off to find an ear in a field now...

I have to disagree with certain earlier comments: although the movie wasn't true to the book, it was still a masterpiece in itself, and your picture does it great justice. Excellent work!

Very clever! A great scene regardless of which version inspired it (book/movie/mini-series...all good for me!), and not something I would have thought could be done in Poser without heavy post work. Better contrast to give the background more depth would be good.

Dam good job. Looks like a hybrid between book and movie. Shield from movie, scene from book. Remember people Paul was only fifteen in the book. That means he was a KID, Child, young person, TINY, take your pick. So in other words, the scene is perfect, I know I just reread it two days ago.

Awesome work! I didn't like Dune much as a kid, though my Dad did. Now I am reading the novels and like it a lot.

This image was meant to be based on the 1984 movie with Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides and Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck. The movie also had the weirding modules that allowed a person to amplified their voices for combat. Though they were not mentioned in the book.
