Description
Watching her steam pressure carefully, Sonja decided one last, quick pass over the crown of the stronghold was warranted. As she passed near the glass enclosure at the summit of the stronghold, she scanned the structure. "Well, Bugger me!" she exclaimed as she made out a group of figures within the glass structure. " 'opefully they ain't attendin' to th' likes o' me circlin' like some kind o' vulture!"
Unheard by the rapidly moving Sonja the following conversation was taking place within the Baron's Stronghold:
"I am not inclined to bargain with some one who is responsible for my violent abduction, sir!" Lilja said. "I've a goose egg behind my left ear and a headache as big as your ego as a result of violence committed on my person by the footpads who brought me here!"
The misshapen giant chuckled darkly. "I think you fail to fully appreciate your position, my dear lady. No one knows where you are. I could easily have you..." he paused to savor the thought, "...disappear."
"Without me you'll not gain access to my Uncle's work or the Darkstar holdings!" she stated.
"I admit it would take me longer but I am pursuing legal recourse as your Uncle's former partner. Of course, it would be much more expedient of me to obtain your cooperation; and, consent to marriage would be the most prudent route for you to take if you would like to enjoy a life as long as your dear departed Uncle!"
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 13.0.339 with some tweaking from Photoshop (especially to reducing the distortion of the extreme wide angle lens used for this image). The content includes Sonja and Lilja based on La Femme with modifications from Afrodite-Ohki and Tempesta3d. The Baron is based on the DAZ Gen 3 Freak. The two steam maids are based on V4. Baron Von Reanimeister's stronghold is the Steampunk Hideaway found at DAZ. Other aspects of the setting are the work of Cybertenko and Flink. Support content creators!

Great pair of images with this group and story. I like the distance view of the glass gazebo.
MollyFootman
Thanks! That glass enclosure IS pretty cool and it looks great when brightly lit on a sunny day. That's probably the least realistic thing about my steampunk world: no smog from all those boilers. XD

Yes this is a cool scene and I am impressed just how crisp and clean your work is. What resolution do you render at?
MollyFootman
Thanks! Both of these pictures were rendered at 4000 by 3000 pixels and 72 pixels per inch. I usually decrease size to 2400 by 1800 for posting as a jpeg after I'm done with tweaking and any other editing I have to do (in this case I had to manually add the steam trail for Sonja's jet pack). If you have any advice for me in this regard I'm all ears! =)

I'll have to render at that resolution to see how it works out. has far as the jet trail goes, the only thing that comes to mind is using a smoke or steam prop and duplicating as a trail. Not very efficient but Poser offers limited resources in this regard. I'm thinking adding the trail manually might be the best bet but I will experiment and let you know.
MollyFootman
Thank you, my dear. I hope the rendering scale idea works out for you. =) Two props that I have never found are vapor/steam trails and good boat wakes. If you come upon anything like that please pass that on to teh Mollz! XD

Sure thing, have to dive in my runtime toy chest to see what I may have overlooked.

No pressure, but if anything comes up I'd be delighted! =)

What a revolting suggestion! For her to marry that creep! What terrible prospect! Excellent works, Molly! Many fine praises from me!
MollyFootman
Heh, thanks, Bill! Yes, marriage to the Baron would likely be the proverbial "fate worse than death" for a spunky heroine like Lilja! XD
