The story continues from the previous render... Miho and the wolf could hear automatic weapon being fired and the roar of a truck engine. They were near. Miho face had turned grim at the sight of the dead creatures littered across the path the men in truck had taken. She had guessed correctly that the men in the truck had come across the nest of these creatures and hence the creatures had attacked them to protect their young ones. The men could have backed up and driven away but instead they had once again decided to kill anything that moved. Suddenly there was silence and then screams. Miho guessed they had run out of bullets. They came across the clearing the men in the truck had driven into with the creatures in pursuit. The men had hopped to escape but instead they were trapped. There was a sheer rock face hill on on side and dense jungle on the other two sides. Only way out was the way they had come but without bullets they had decided that climbing the hill was a better option and the driver drove the truck right next to the cliff. The driver's partner managed to get to the roof of the truck. But the driver was not so fortunate, the moment he had exited the truck cabin from the left side (the cliff had blocked him from opening his door, this was a right hand drive truck), the creature had caught him and dropped him to the ground. It was the queen of the creatures who had caught him. There were more men inside the back of the truck but hearing the screams of the other 2 they had decided to stay put inside. The one on the top of the roof could not move. He was frozen in fear with the queen of the creature after him. As Miho entered the clearing, she saw the queen and the warrior creatures. She had not encountered their kind on her last trip here. The queen was trying to get to the guy on the roof. Miho was mad, these men were going to pay for the unnecessary killing and destruction. With clinched fists she walked towards the truck and the creatures with the wolf besides her. All the warrior creatures turned towards her and the wolf and then to the wolf's surprise they all bowed their head in respect to Miho. The wolf knew Miho could talk to animals, she talked to him all the time and he also knew for whatever reason animals felt very safe around her like he did. He guessed it was the same for these creatures too. The queen of the creature turned towards Miho and came to her. She too bowed her head in a mark of respect for Miho. Miho also bowed her head at the queen to show her respect. She then touched the queen on her head to telepathically communicate with her. Miho said she was very sorry that her kind had killed so many of their kind and that she will take them away and punish them and that they will never see her kind on this island again. Miho had thought about leaving these imbeciles at the mercy of the creatures like once she had left two poachers at the mercy of the elephants but then they would suffer for a short while only. Impresionment was a better option as a punishment. The queen of the creatures said she understood and she knew Miho meant what she had said. She called out to the warrior creatures and they left for their nest. The driver on the ground and his partner on the roof top did not know what to make of this half naked girl and a wolf walking up to the terrifying creatures and they were totally dumbfounded to see the creatures turned and bowed their head at her. When they saw the creatures leaving, the guy on the top jumped down to the ground and helped his partner up. They were about to cry out with joy of being saved when in a blur of a movement Miho punched them both in their face knocking them out as well as knocking all their teeth out. She could have easily made them unconscious by her touch but she was not in a mood to be nice to these creeps. Inside the back of the truck the other 3 did not know what was happening. It was all silent outside. Then they heard the truck door close and a wolf was looking at them with teeth bared through the partition window that connected the back of the truck to the cabin. Then there was a cold voice which said not to move. With the wolf glaring at them, all 3 decided it was better for them to obey the voice and not move. While Miho was busy with this group of men, I had chased after the other group. For me it was too easy to deal with that group as one, I was in a invisible plane and two, I had all sorts of non lethal weapons at my disposal which could bring an end to the whole thing in an instant. I saw the convey of vehicles moving down below. This was good I said to myself with a grin on my face. No one was out and about which would have made things more difficult. I first fired a EMP charge that disabled all there vehicles and then to make sure the men did not go running anywhere I hit them with a double whammy - an instant knock out sound wave which also induced diarrhea... These men where in for one nasty and smelly surprise when they finally gained consciousness. Then I called Miho and said I was done. She also told me she was done and was driving back to where we had seen the first group. She ask me to magnetically airlift all the vehicles and bring them to the same place and then go and fetch the armored vehicle in which she had put the 4 unconscious bodyguard cum killers and the board member. Time to end this whole misadventure of these men and women and send them packing from this island. The story will continue from the next render....

I had a busy busy week hence the short absence and not commenting on any of your uploads. Hopefully will be able to catch up by tomorrow. For now I will upload the next chapter of the current story. This one also took a lot of time to create. Specially building the environment and posing all the creatures, trees, ground props, cliff props, the 2 men, the truck, Miho and the wolf. Again the two renders are of the same scene. One from the front and one from the back. I don't think I have done a render of Miho from the back yet so I thought I will add a POV from the back to show Miho walking towards the creatures and the truck and the 3 creatures bowing heir head in respect. Most who do not read the story or this will think she is going to fight the creatures but well that is not the case. Sometimes one really needs to read the story to get the context ;). I wanted to do a 3rd panel of Miho communicating with the queen of the creatures, then probably one would still get the correct picture without reading the story, but unfortunately I ran out of spare time. And well, this is one of my rare renders of Miho where she is not smiling. I still don't like the way Octane renders the scene when the sun is in front of the camera. That is one of the reason I always render my scenes with the sun behind the camera and the sunlight falling on the subject which in this case is the top panel. The bottom panel though of the same scene, I had to adjust the lighting to make it brighter. Otherwise it rendered a lot darker than the top panel. Another really bad things about the Octane plugin for Daz Studio is that it sometimes does not handle instances properly. In this I have a lot of instances of trees and there are no issues with them but I could not make the instances of the creatures to work. Each time I added the instance, the leg would be rendered separately from the body. And nothing I did made it render together. Hence I had to add actual creature figures on the scene manually and pose them. I decided against adding more than 4 as I already had Miho and the wolf plus it's more than a million strands of hair and the 2 G8M men. I will report this to the Otoy dev and see if they can fix it. Also to reduce the memory requirements due to the 4 separate textures of the 4 creatures, I used a single set for all 4. This is a neat feature of the Octane plugin where you can drag and drop any texture / material on anything else. Both will then use the same textures hence reducing the memory requirement. Still had fun with this one too :). I think this story will end in the next one or two renders. Then Miho will be off to some other adventure :). I had never checked Miho's height and one of RodS's renders he had put the height of all his wonderful girls of TNA. So I checked and Rod was spot on, Miho is 5'10" :) . Richard (Richardphoto) had commented saying he would love to see a video of Miho run. Frankly I would love to make a video of hers but I need to wait until Octane enables the full RTX cores for real time rendering. Then things will be fast enough to render a video clip of Miho. Currently I don't have the patience to do it. In fact in future I will probably get her interacting in an AR environment using Microsoft's hololens. That would be awesome to be able to interact with Miho in an AR environment But that needs a loooooooooooooot of work which at the moment I do not have time for. But someday I will :) ! It is my dream...
