I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

I appreciate your thoughts on DS3 - and a very creative way to convey them! Cool render - nice atmosphere and light! And I think I am sticking with Carrara...

Very cool render and awesome song! I admire you I cannot used Daz to save my life heck even dloading goodies from there to Poser is stressful. You do a wonderful Job!

I know the feeling, cool image.

Excellent!

Dont use the product but I have to say that is a great poem and could probably be used in a whole range of software upgrade products. Yea, you probably don't want to change horses in midstream with your series.... it would probably cripple it. Hang in there.

I didn't mean to convince people to NOT try the product, quite the contrary. But I AM strongly urging everybody to plan on running 3.x and 2.x at the SAME TIME until you get comfy with the new world order LOL. ;-)

Luckily, I was just starting in DAZ so I really didn't learn to do much before the update. I still don't know much. Lol. But you are right, there are some way cool things available. Neat new tools, too. But, oh, man. Does it ever love the crashin' blues! I've figured a way around the crashing updater. (scan for new files) I load them all into DAZ 2 then open 3 & update my settings from 2. This seems to work & from then on, it will work ok in 3 until there is an external update, or you get a new toy. Then you got to do it again. I highly suggest you keep your previous DAZ installed on your pc. & no, I can't find anything, either... lol! Cool render here. Love the song! ")

Very clever! Too bad the message got a little misinterpreted by some. I picked up 3A immediatly to get the better deal but won't bother with it until a few more plugins get updated. The transition process is such a pain.

Great render and humor, Larry. I installed DS3 Adv 64 bit a few days ago...it is very very fast. But it annoys me.. that most plug-ins don't exist in a 64 bit version yet. I guess i can throw my Dynamic clothing control in the garbage can. #;oD I asked about that in the DAZ forum yesterday. Some admin suggested that i should have 2 Daz Studios on my new PC. A 32 bit version, and a 64 bit version...What kinda solution is that? ...Some times i really hate DAZ #;oD
