THORNTON: Damn fine work, all of you. Go home to your wives and husbands -- you've earned it. I'll make sure you eggheads come back to a bigger paycheck at the very least. And Dr. Yamashiro, my superiors have been asking how you can upgrade the design. There's talk of a proposed fleet of 7 of these babies. Think it over, son. This is history in the making. ========================================= The end result of several composite renders done on my (cheap, slow) laptop with Stonemason's Chinatown and Herschel Hoffmeyer's Carnomoloch, as a test to see how well VanishingPoint's Vintage Robot would work in DAZ. Quite well, as it turns out. Post-work done in Photoshop CC. Shaders are MEC4D PBS Vol. 2; filters are Filtergrade's Filmstock Photoshop Actions; brushes are Ron Deviney's Fog and Apocalypse.
