Description
The place was eerily quiet; no sound except for that of their movement as they communicated nonverbally through their neural net implants.
"Hard vacuum on the other side of the door. Dead end. There's not too much left to search." Fiona scanned the ceiling. "The power cables don't branch. We're fortunate the lighting still works and there's breathable atmosphere."
"Place is creepy," Jake replied. "Hard to believe the material we're looking for is here somewhere."
"MY TELEDRONES SHOW NO LIFE SIGNS AND NO RADIATION AS MIGHT BE EXPECTED IF THE MATERIAL WAS WITHIN THESE TUNNELS," Link, the mechanical life form that served them added.
Fiona sighed audibly and then through the neural link said, "I'm not quite ready to give up. We're missing something!"
Jake nodded. "Agreed!"
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 12.0.1029 and then tweaked in Photoshop for a bit of vignette. The lighting is entirely by emissive material in the overhead lamps. Jake is based on M4 with morphs and texture by Tempesta3d. Fiona is based on V4 with morphs and texture by Ali available at Mankahoo. Their armor is Akki Warrior by Simon 3d. The teledrones are by Summoner. Link is from DAZ by the Ant Farm. The setting is level 13 by 1971s.

Great job on this, Molly. The lighting is fantastic, and really helps give it that creepy feel. Gen4 still has plenty of life left in it.
MollyFootman
Thanks, Rod. The amazing thing to me is that there is not one light in the image. All the lighting is by the emissive materials in the lamps. It's one of the things that is easy to do in Superfly that is all but impossible in Firefly. Looking forward to P13 which has an updated version of Cycles driving Superfly; hopefully it does not disappoint. =)

I agree with Rod. Everything looks great. Nothing wrong with M4 or V4. I still use them.
MollyFootman
Thanks!
True that! Even really old meshes like V3 or A3 look fine if you pay some attention to texture. The backward compatibility of Poser is one of it's greatest features and also the thing that makes it so complicated to try to import newer DAZ stuff. Color me unconvinced that I MUST have the newer DAZ stuff to create interesting and eye-catching renderings. XD

What can I say that hasn't already been said with the lighting. It really sets the tone for this scene and enhances the look of this fantastic tunnel set. Once again, your gift for dialogue adds a lot to the image.

Thank you so much, Randy. I know you enjoy a good story so I value your opinion on my text enhancements to my pictures as much as I value your eye for a good image! <3

A few buildings in our city does not label a 13th floor.
Awesome scene and well lite for the mood.
MollyFootman
I think avoiding the bad luck of the 13th level is no that uncommon. XD
Thanks for taking a moment to let me know what you thought about the picture, my dear! =)

I like the palette and tone in this one - so many sci-fi interiors run to harsher blues or whites, or creepy luminous greens. This looks more like dungeon lighting, which works for me.
I'm guessing Fiona is focused in the electricals toward the ceiling. Head posing angles are tricky and sometimes yield odd results that are spot on when posed but a little different in POV. I've run into this, even when using Riversoft's "Look at Me II", which lines things up pretty darn well.
Posingalso can cause troubles with legs as I sorta learned,
I like this one.
MollyFootman
Thanks, JD. I did want a feeling of "deserted creepy dungeon" with the lighting, so Mission Accomplished! XD
Yeah, I wanted Fiona to be scanning along the ceiling for signs of ducting and electrical lines hinting at hidden compartments where the mysterious "material" might be hidden. Posing is always a challenge and really needs to be fine-tuned when you change PoV. As it happens I had a lot of trouble fine-tuning Jake's pose for just that reason. =)
Of course, I'm delighted that you like this one as I spent a ridiculous amount of time messing with it. >.<

Okay! Now we are off to the races! Expect excitement and left hooks blind siding us from all directions? Well done, Molly!
MollyFootman
Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoy these characters in this situation. I'm still not committed to a new story but think these two might be worth one. =D
