Presenting Tempestt, Krystal, and Phaetara: three gals who have been prominent this year. But what if "there could be only one," as the Highlander saying goes? I thought about opening it up to voting, but don't know how much a response I'd get since I haven't been active much lately. What do you think? ***** DAZ Studio crashed some time ago, taking my laptop with it. Because of that and needing to find extra work this season I gave up on doing 3d art for the time being. With the job search coming up empty (although I'm picking up hours where I'm at now) and life becoming difficult during the holidays, I took steps to get my computer to stop crashing when DS is running, Vents cleaned of dust, some startup apps disabled, and stopping my antivirus from running background tasks while DS is up. Also paying attention to whether textures are using Iray materials, which my Radeon graphics can NOT work with.) (Laptop doesn't have a fan, but a lot of vents. Noticed how hot the exhaust was at the end of rendering. Something I need to pay attention to.) I might get a Holiday pic up, but it wouldn't be as grand as the Gathering pics with Shion and company. Time is running out on that score. If for whatever reason I disappear again, Happy Holidays and Happy 2020. ***** DAZ Studio 4.12 (3Delight) -> Paint Shop Pro 8 (Clarify/Automatic Saturation Enhancement/Sharpen) Tempestt based on Genesis 3 Female © DAZ & Amaya for Girl 7 © DemonicaEvilius and Jessaii (DAZ) Sheridan Hair © AprilYSH (DAZ) Sci-Fi Siren Outift © Barbara Brundon & Sarsa (DAZ) Phaetara based on Genesis 2 Female and Callie 6 © DAZ Librarian Pinup Updo © Emma and Jordi (DAZ) Charm Hair © DAZ Fusion Skin Textures for Callie 6 © Yannek (DAZ) Krystal by CharleyFox; rigged by Little Dragon (Renderosity Free Stuff) Killer Hoodie Pants © Ghastly (Renderosity Free Stuff) Boudoir Photo Studio © Predatron and Diane (DAZ) Top from Slimfea © Aeon Soul (DAZ) Poses: Sensual V6 I © Danie & Marfono (DAZ) Captivating from Ironman13 (DAZ) Very Vicky © KarenJ (ShareCG - no longer available)
