Le Belle Epoque Partly DAZ 3 & partly DAZ 4 PRO, rendered in the last one's render engine. Got the idea from seing the beautiful scenery "Esprit d' Autrefois" at RuntimeDNA, a classic "Belle Epoque" scenery to play with. Let Robotoko & Te Und time travel and sit at the cafe. The tram was part of the package, and I added buildings from DAZ' "Le Village", found a very old 18'th century car (left) and a old bike, a classic horse cart (DAZ), a cherry tree, few people in fitting dress - and voila! Playing with light and props were the spending of many hours worth. All you see here, except the sky is 3D stuff, so the file and scene are simply huge, and DAZ 4 Pro did't crash one single time! "Le Belle Epoque" lasted from the last quarter of the 1800's until World War I. it was a time with optimism, ingenuity, science, call it the start of modern times. The great painters, like Monet, Manet, Toulose-Lautrec..But also shadowy, sheer greedy capitalism, exploitation of the workers in the factories at home in Europe and big fortunes created at colonialism outside Europe. But very human, we tend to remember and prefer the good things in life.. Read about the time period here (English): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%89poque The music chosen is Bizet's Bohemian Dance. Bizet died unfortunately very young, only as 37 years old, in the beginning of this Golden Age.
