Well, after the last 2 weeks of loading content on the new computer (in between work, errands, family, etc, etc), I'm finally at a point where I've linked all the external runtimes to Poser, and can actually take this thing for a shakeout cruise. All systems are working fine, and it's time to engage warp drive! This machine absolutely smokes! (figuratively, not literally...) This scene was rendered at 3360 X 2100, and using IDL - something I wouldn't even attempt on the laptop. It took about 5 minutes to do this render! I used Bar-Code's excellent Pandora Walkway, and Forbidden Whisper's cool Twisty Lamp, both available as freebies here on Rendo. Many thanks to these and all the artists who share thier considerable talents with us all in the freebies section. You guys and gals ROCK! The spaceship in the background is from an airbrush painting I did several years ago. At this point, I have about 90 - 95 percent of my content installed - still a few things to go.... Now, I can start working on my Girls From TNA series again, along with a bunch of other things I've wanted to do for a long time! Thanks as always for all your comments, ratings, and faves! It means a lot to me!
