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.

Oh yes, DS would render up to 99% in two days.. then it would go blip and close.. :) (and DON'T ask why I know this for sure!) Wonderful mutiple character scene Larry!

wow...fantastic work!

Wow, the switch was sure worth it. Not only can you do group work but the overall quality is exponentially greater. I'm gonna have to look into C7 too as poser won't let me render more than 2, maybe 3 if I'm blessed, full poly figures in my scenes and I'm gonna need 4-5 on a regular basis. I'm guessing it's the head "greener" - he seems to have elf ears but I cannot blow it up enough to see for sure.

Congrats on the obvious progress with Carrara ... that's a wonderful cast of characters that you have assembled. In my opinion, you've achieved a wonderfully complex and believably superb render. Well done.

Wonderfully done - and so glad you are finding your feet with Carrara! It can have it's share of "blips" too but it is pretty stable overall, depending on how hard you push it. Really looking forward to the continuing story!
