Description

Ok, this title is not correct but I just had to name it this. Brian and I were driving through Wisconsin and he said 'look at that herd of turkeys' he saw off in a field along the roadside. I teased him for a long time after after about the 'herd'. Not sure what a group of turkeys is called but I'm sure it is NOT a 'herd' :) This is KenG's new turkey, just in time for Thanksgiving. Just in time if you celebrate Thanksgiving, that is. Very cool textures on this bird. The frame is from Jean-Luc Airarn. I don't usually use frames but he has some very cool and unusual ones that can enhance an image. This is a nice leafy one...kind of deep woods feel to it. I hope everyone is doing well and is happy this weekend. I just got home from preparing shepherd's pie for serving to the club's membership tomorrow night. I made it while the turkey raffle was going on and it took me 3 hours to prepare enough for 50 people. We didn't win a turkey...I left it up to Brian to win one but no luck. Free drinks while I cooked though :) One last note (yes I know, I'm chatty tonight, lol)....my computer is STILL causing problems for me. I think it's the motherboard even thought the techie said it wasn't. The new video card is starting to act up. What else could it be? Two vid cards bad within one month? I think not..it's got to be the mobo. I started this picture in Vue6Infinite but Vue kept crashing. Had to restart it in Bryce...good old Bryce :) I do think it's the mobo causing my problems though...not blaming Vue. PS...what's with the 512kb size limit here? My pic won't upload...grrr...have to reduce colors to 256 to get it to load :(

Check the power supply. They cause the quirkiest problems. A flock of turkies... on a march. They know it's almost Thanksgiving and they are afraid, very afraid. They must get out of town before anyone notices. ;o) Excellent work. Very well done. Bunny

They look like they know Thanksgiving is getting near.. going deeper into the forest to hide. Very cool model Nancy. Wonderful rendering too. Big thumbs up and hugs from Dave :^) (P.s. I don't reduce the color pallette but rather increase the jpg compression level, just enough to make them take up an ideal file size. This usually has a much less dramatic effect on the image quality I think)

Gobble gobble. Excellent presentation! Sorry I didn't get to comment earlier; I got disenfranchised from the site for a couple of days.

Those turkeys are great! And I for one don't care what they're called, because I'm seeing a heck of a lot of dinner on the hoof! (Wild turkey is some of the best eating you can find, btw) Great render of the scene, nicely composed.
