The story continues from the previous render... Once the sun set, we cycled back with the wolf following us on foot. Now just because the sun had set did not mean our body clock was at night time. Having a hyperplane that could travel from any point on the planet to any other point in 7 minutes meant night and day had little meaning. One moment it was night and the next it might be the middle of the day for us. It was hard for me to get used to it. We had been zipping around the world too often lately. We reached the cottage and Miho said she was hungry and that we should go to one of our favorite restaurants that was in another country. I was all game. I too loved the food there. She had gone into the bathroom to get ready and when she came out she had long orange flaming hair instead of her short blue hair.... This were the other things that I found equally hard to get used to - her ability to change her eye color, hair color and style at will. I always told her every girl out their wanted that ability and she should create a product and sell it. Miho always just laughed at that idea. It was extremely complicated gene hack and she was not about to let that technology out and let others misuse it. We landed at a base Miho had in that city. From there we drove down to the restaurant which was next to the ocean and parked at a car park near the restaurant. After a short walk we reached the restaurant and immediately the couple who owned it came out and greeted us. Miho had helped them out with finances when they were struggling to remain afloat and in return Miho had asked them to donate a part of their earning to a charity of their choice which they had gladly accepted. Miho gave them both a hug and spoke to them for a while. Then we sat down at Miho's favorite bench which looked rundown but it was Miho who had told the owners to leave that bench as is. For whatever reason she liked its rundown and rustic look and the owners did not mind at all. In fact they always got asked by customers why they had a rundown bench when everything else was beautifully maintained. They always answered with a smile that it was reserved for someone special. The wolf settled down on the ground underneath Miho and I decided to take some photos. Miho was looking radiant as usual. I did notice everyone looking at her and this too I was trying to get used too... Then the food came. The couple served us our favorite dishes. Even the wolf got his favorite. After enjoying that wonderful meal we headed back to the base. It was time to plan the next mission.... We had many targets but we needed to prioritize them... Things were about to get hectic again and well, the Corporation was going to have another crisis on their hand soon... The story will continue with the next render...

This is kinda based on a scene I did a year or more ago. I added a lot more elements and characters in it. There are a total of 10 characters (including the dog and the wolf with it's approx million strands of hair) so it is a pretty heavy scene. But it did render fairly fast. Around 20+ minutes. I switched back to Miho's long hair as in this for whatever reason the short blue hair was not looking that good. Once again I did some ZBrush work where her thigh and the bench edge intersect and also where the arm intersected with the table to make it look more natural. Also did ZBrush work on the the right calf to make it look pressed from below by the left knee. Everything on the scene has a custom texture expect for the tree and the bench Miho is sitting for which I enhanced the existing materials. Like the vibrant colors of the scene. Was unable to do a multi panel render due to lack of time. Was planing to show what was going on in a office of the Corporation but maybe next time.
