(Jan. 2008) Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my page. My name is Tom, and I've been interested in art and sketch drawing as a hobby for as long as I can remember, although never very seriously. In mid 2007 I started using Poser 6 and Photoshop Elements, and have been 'hooked' on '3D' art ever since. I'm still learning to use various 3D modeling programs to try and develop some digital art skills. I enjoy getting feedback from other artists on what to work on and how to improve.
(Feb. 2009) The submarine I've attempted to animate is from an old TV show in the 1960s called 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'. Although the show was kind of cheesy, I remember watching it after school along with old episodes of Star Trek.

I almost always render the figures and the background separately, just to keep things rendering faster and to have more control. I think Lisa's plants depend on transparency to work, so you might consider just turning down the render quality a bit, especially if you will have a slight blur on the background anyway.

I am afraid of rendering plants/grass --- I agree with lwperkins --- I usually render it separately from my figures

Tim is on the loose! Great looking scene

The LB stuff is high in transmaps so like hair they're extremely time consuming to render, especially if you're using raytracing. Try rendering them seperately as lwperkins suggested and composite your characters later when you edit. As long as they're not actually interacting physically with your BG elements it shouldn't matter. This Devil character here always reminds me of Tim Curry in "Legend", that old Tom Cruise flic. Nice rendering on this none-the-less, Tom, your usual great dynamics.

do your pictures like the do in the movies - that's what I do. make your backround first, render it, save it. go back into poser, bring it up as a background, put your posers in the scene, add a few more rocks or plants render it, save it.... if you want to add more to it, take it back into poser as a background.... I'm not one for long renders, and I'm more into emotions on characters. setting up a huge scene and saving it for future renders as backgrounds, AND LONG renders, I'll deal with when I get into animation - which on my pace may be A LONG TIME from now = lol

Excellent artwork! non posso aiutarti per fare dei render veloci :-( :)gea

Great stuff here Tom. As for tips ... I think LWPERKINS & HARDWARETOAD got the right idea. I usually setup my scenes, light, characters poses etc. Save camera dots and pose dots. Then render one element at a time. Take my PNG files into PS and composite. Less time than letting a single render go on for hours. Hope this helps.

Cool. She looks like she's kind of liking it ;). I usually use Vue for vegetative landscapes, otherwise a well crafted bmp or jpeg works for me in Poser. Vue renders are often measured in hours, so I'm used to it. In Vue you can interrupt the render and pick up where you left off, so that can help. I just let it render overnight and usually by morning it's done. Usually.

Ah, Lisa's botanicals have an unnecessarily bloated amount of polygons per leaf. Use with caution, because those will bog down your render with only one or two in scene, never mind a whole cornfield!

Great action scene! Tip for faster rendering! Get Carrara!

It's always worth the effort - you wouldn't eat a cake that's been half baked.
