Thetis was a sea nymph, one of the Nereids, daughter of Nereus (the god of the sea) and Doris. She was fated to bear a son who would be mightier than his father. Fearing for his dominion, Zeus gave Thetis as bride to a mortal, Peleus. Him she bore the son Achilles, whom she tried unsuccessfully to make immortal. The mostly known version of that is, that she dipped the child in the river Styx holding him by the heel; all the parts that the river touched became invulnerable, but the heel. Achilleus fate was to live happy with his family and die unknown or be to become a great hero. He decided to fight and die heroic at Troy.

I ask the same question when I run into a problem but its all about the 'special love' and friendships we make here and this is a wonderful render and the most interesting textures as well!!! Keep going no matter what! You would be missed! Your talent is remarkable! 5+ render and extra + for all your hard work getting back to us!!! Hugs my dear friend....Tee

Beautiful and very imaginative artwork. I guess the solution is to have a high powered quad core for your rendering and an old computer for internet/e-mails to keep you busy.

It is rendering by splendid P8. I began also just to use P8. I do not understand the performance of P8 still well.

This is why you get wonderful results. The textures in this very imaginative scene are incredible and well worth the long wait. Beautifully created.

I really get frustrated by Poser 6 too! Get just one too many characters or a few too many different props, and it just sits there and does nothing, but tie up your computer! This is a fanastic render though! Marvelous artistry and creativity!
