Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive.  All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

I see you're making progress Well done!
About the jaggy balls: instead of raising the polygon count, you can as well apply subdividing in DAZ-Studio. This works very well (as long as you don't need sharp edges in the particular object) and helps you to lower the load on your machine and keeps the scene still easy to edit (still fast when rotating or zooming)

Lol - I hope the scorpion is rusty and can't move fast!!! Great scene setup Mike!!!
rbowen
Very good scene!

This scorpion seems very aggressive, Stacy must run fast indeed! Very beautiful poses, superbly staged scene!

Totally wicked Mike. I hope she can run fast Some here go with your mind make for big smile ~cheers
Jollyself
Lighting looks pretty good and pose too.... bravo :)

Yes, as Furnose said, subdividing works well in a lot of cases as well. Send me a PM to remind me and I'll toss you a screenshot. Low poly stuff you want to use for distance things. Save higher poly stuff for closeups where detail is important. You can even make low and medium resolution textures by halving the image dimensions if you are loading some with huge 4000x4000px textures in distance shots. Just remember to save with an appropriate file name.

Super scene, hope she avoids that sting.

Wonderful image my friend, Now it has me thinking I have those scorpions somewhere forgot I had them until now :)

Beautiful work!

Excellent work, Mike! You did great! I love the look of the textures you're getting on your props and wardrobe and everything. Extremely cool characters in this scene too! PS ... You made me laugh about your smoother and shinier balls!
jif3d
You seem to be getting familiar with Daz Studio something or rather (is that actually like an increment update ? LOL) not sure why Stacy is there myself, probably some sort of new health kick she saw on T.V. @ Fae Valley, like the Scorpion Bow Flex...erm...
~Cheers~

That's funny my friend, smoother balls! And this image by far is one of your best creations, Mike. I really like! Cool textures all around. 100☆
Radar_rad-dude
Great detailing in the textures which, I think, is what makes the render longer!? Well, a fine result, Mike! Bravo!

Outstanding work my friend. God bless.

Everyone runs from scorpions. even blue ones. gives them a complex, it does. no one cares. gives them another complex. it ain't easy being a scorpion. no one cares.
GREAT image!!

This is a great looking scene, Mike! Looks like Stacy needs to get a move on!
DS seems to be a very deep application - in the aspect of how much stuff you can fiddle with. I'm finding the lighting works quite a bit differently than Poser - not terribly difficult, just different. I'm still trying to get used to how the intensity is adjusted.
I have a render running right now with G4 - it's been going for 45 minutes, and is only at 4% (2500 X 3200). I changed her default skin to her T.N.A. skin, and put 4 lights in the scene. It will be an all-night render, obviously!

This is excellent!

Once again, I don't have a clue about the technical steps here, and I'm reading the technical responses you got with jealousy lol. I wish I understood all this. (You don't have terms like this in 2D. No "runtime," no special 'rooms', no props and wardrobe or Content Management Systems. This is a whole different world!)
But, as an image, It's delightful. Maybe not for the lady, who's a weeeeee bit close to that scorpion---who appears to be made out of turquoise, for some reason ( lol)---I like her fleet footed stance. And it's gotta be a little cold in her bikini...that doesn't look like a well-heated area...
But, whatever she's doing, I love the wild fantasy, and the strange combo of her, the scorpion, and that big imposing chunk of architecture---which just happens to be floating in space. (Why the f--- not! I love her dance step too.) But that thing behind them? That brown glob with yellow outline? Is that a monster? Or a big glob of cooked liver? Love your whimsy. Sorry I haven't clue about the technicalities, though...

Aw, come on, Mr. Scorpion just wants to play. You are moving at light speed in mastering the new software but 80 minutes? I hope you went and made a sandwich while you were waiting.
art-ella
Typical female. The bikini colors be suitable to the scorpion. Great image.
WyckedPixy
Great scene! Very well done!
K_T_Ong
With the scorpion being THAT close, I fear running isn't going to do much good anymore... :(
Good lighting and great texturing on the architecture. Like the space background, too. Shouldn't there be some kind of ground where the white area is, though?...
VEDES
Amazing work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mininessie
amazing idea...genial!
blondeblurr
Danger, danger !!! right behind you Stacy... having some fun Mike ? the Scorpion is looking like an outright menace. I wish somebody would tell her to slow down, that white triangle is not the swimming-pool !
