The story continues from the previous render... Well, Miho decided that she wanted to bask in the sun while her AI network churned out the information categorized per country based on the data retrieved from the brain scans and the back up device she took off the hands of the Corporation. While she was planning to send the relevant data anonymously to agents she trusted in government agencies all over the world, she planned to personally meet up with the Director of T.N.A. to hand over the data relevant to him. He and his merry band of very talented girls were the perfect group to help her in taking down the Corporation's tentacles. While she was enjoying a bit of the sun, halfway around the world, in a very posh office, the commander of the rapid response team was giving his report. Even though the room was fully air-conditioned, he was sweating like a pig. He knew whether his head was attached to his body or not when he left this office depended on how the conversation went with the person sitting behind the grand desk. The room was very big and very sparely decorated. Other than the grand desk and an equally grand chair behind it on which this person sat and two guest chairs there was nothing much. He did not dare to sit down or directly look into the eyes of this person. He had no idea who this person was. He did not even want to know. He was told to come and meet this person once he had reported to his superior as to what had happened. This was his supervisors' job he thought to himself, but that clown had thrown him under the bus and made him come here. Man behind desk in a very quiet voice - "Explain". Actually he already had all the details regarding the incident but just wanted to hear it from the commander of the team. Commander - "Sir, as I told my supervisor, we don't know what hit my team. We replayed the drone feed, looked at all the audio recording, There was nothing in them to indicate what hit us. We don't know why the team lost consciousness and how the adversary gained access to our in vehicle computers and took control. Only our HQ has that capability. As far as I know our vehicles were supposed to be hack poof." Man behind desk - "Body cam ?" Commander - "As per procedure once my team were on the move and things were clear, they were turned off to conserve batteries. Real time audio was kept on. Feeds were always immediately turned back on by the team if anything suspicious was noticed by any team member." Man behind desk - "You have scanned all frequencies in the audio recording ?" Commander - "Yes, sir. The lab told us they double checked. There was nothing. No signal came over the audio channel. And in any case they would need to know the frequency we were using which even the military and spy agencies were not aware off and sir, they would also have to break our unbreakable encryption." Man behind desk - "Have you figured out how the alarm was triggered from outside that could only be triggered from inside the premises ?" Commander - "No, sir and we won't be able to find out how as we triggered the self-destruct as per procedure and everything in that premises was destroyed. There might have been logs on the alarm system that probably could tell us what was the trigger point, but they are on the backup device that we lost, sir." Man behind desk - "This will not do. This will not do at all...." The commander started to sweat even more. It was like he was under a shower. Man behind desk - "Have you alerted every team around the world ?" Commander - "Yes, sir." Man behind desk - "You are lucky that our experts think whoever took the backup device will not be able to decode it for the next century or so. Today you get to keep you head intact and attached to your body." Commander - "Ye... Ye.... yes, sir. Thank yous sir." Man behind desk - "Report to the 3rd door on the right once you leave my office. They will debrief you further." Commander - "Yes, sir." The commander turned around and left the office. He felt relieved. He thought to himself he had clearly explained there was nothing he could have done. He turned right and tapped on the third door. He heard a faint buzzer and pushed open the door. It was totally dark. A voice over the speaker said "Enter and close the door". The Commander suddenly felt afraid. A chill went down his spine and his heart started pumping as he took a step into the darkness. He turned and closed the door. As he turned back he felt a presence near him and heard the swing of a blade cutting through the air... he knew it was the end but did not even get to complete that thought... The Corporation did not forgive this kind of mistake... In the office, the man behind desk sat pondering. He just could not phantom who they were dealing with. Every base they had lost, the people in those bases had no recollection of what had happened. He replayed the body-cam feed of the latest incident. He saw the team arrive and create a perimeter as they were trained. He saw them eye a beautiful girl and and saw them letting her pass. Guys will be guys he thought. He saw them breaching the premises and the shock on the faces of the people inside. He saw the team telling everyone to evacuate immediately. The people working there knew exactly what to do when such a command was given. He saw them take the complete backup of all data on all the systems and trigger the self destruct. He saw them getting back into their vehicles and taking off and after confirmation from the drone all was clear, the video feed was suspended. He then listen to the audio part. He heard everything that was being said and then suddenly there was total silence for 93 seconds and then he heard the confused voices of the team. He had replayed this countless times and it still did not make any sense. The only signature this group seems to have is they never killed anyone unlike the Corporation. He had just sent the commander to his death because of this and he knew there was nothing the commander could have done to stop it. Nope, none of this made any sense. He had to find out soon who this adversary was for it would be his head the next time this happened. The story will continue with the next render...

Well, this time I thought I will do a render of Miho relaxing. So it started with a pose of her laying down. Took a bit of time to make her pose look natural. Then went looking for a good set in my content library to put her in. Found this Mykonos (@ Daz) set that looked perfect. After I merged the set into the scene, looked for a suitable view. Finally decided to pose Miho on top of a cushion. The textures that came with the set lacked a punch and were mostly white. So I went about re-doing all the textures of all the surfaces in the set. I used wood as the main theme as it added warmth to the scene. After that I added the flowers and vase to add some decoration around where Miho was laying down. The scene was looking good. As Miho was relaxing I thought I put a iced drink and a book next to her. Then came Miho's bosom area and the bikini. I untied her bikini top (the bikini top came with a morph for that) and then had to take her and the bikini into ZBrush to actually make her breast pose look more natural for this pose and drape the bikini top as almost coming off her because of the untied strings. On the bikini bottom, I used ZBrush to modify the string tie loop position a bit to make it appear more correctly for this pose. I colored the bikini red as it contrasted well against her very bright skin. In fact I had to reduce the exposure in Octane by 30 percent as her skin was appearing way too bright. Then came the cushion Miho was laying on. It was a low resolution prop and in ZBrush I was having problem in creating those depression on the surface where Miho's body touched the cushion. So did a remesh and then manually did the depression on the surface. That in turn created gaps in the seam of the prop. So used a group loop to close the gap and that also created that nice thick edge around the edges of the cushion like you see in real life. But this changed the polycount and hence it could not be used as a morph. I imported it as a new object and then hid the original cushion and placed this new object underneath Miho. Then textured it. Things looked more natural. After that had to create custom morph for the hair using ZBrush to pose it like you see. Finally I did her expression - just a simple happy smile. She looked very relaxed and well the scene was done. I think I spent more time creating this simple scene than my more complicated scenes of my last render. It was probably because this was a closeup of Miho and working on her bosom area and draping the bikini top like that took a lot of time and patience. The bikini top's un-welded seams were a pain to deal with. Every time you moved something the bikini top seemed to come apart. I think I spent an hour plus just trying to get it to behave properly. Overall I really like how this looks.I think Miho is looking sexy. I have flagged this as I think it is a bit too sexy for those who have filtered nudity. PS : I removed the nudity flag as Goldie mentioned that this did not need that flag.
