Jordanholmes
Totally amazing, i didnt know you could do all that with poser! Great job! ;.)
Stargazy
Great render !!! Fantastic !!!
3dvice
Great set-up, posing and mood. Wonderful melting of 3D and 2D-background. Interesting that P7 seems to be better with render times and ressources than P5. I always run into trouble when rendering with 12 px-sample and 0.1 shading rate with P5. Not to speak of dof! Let's hope that all your guys will return from BallGrad in good shape, btw I counted six of them. Wasn't sure if there were two more..

Lovely work Cath! You put so much passion and creativity into everything you do :)
SnowSultan
Very impressive and extremely realistic! I like your avatar too, haha. :)

Thanks Guys! @ 3Dvice.. I never can do that with P5.. or even P6 crash all the time using 3Dmotion or DOF, I was so surprised this time... they did well good job on the technical side this time..even Vue would take me much more longer to render this scene.. the long time render of it made the Transparent Wings...even reflections render faster as transparent materials and AO... + using OpenGL slow down the movement a bit so you have to hide the transparent materials for better movement while working with other things... I will give 9 of 10...

You are very kind to present a wonderful piece like this as an aid of instruction. Sometimes I view art that I find so daunting that it depresses me as to my own finite abilities. One is left to wonder, "where have they had the opportunity to raise their skills to that level?". But in doing so you have increased my understanding tenfold. Warmly and humbly I thank you.
