Hi, I'm Dave :^)
I've learned that Art is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration! I started CGA as a hobby early 2004. This site is huge, so if you have seen any of my material, then thank you for taking the time.
BIO:I'm a widowed Electronics and Software design Engineer living in Southern California, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
My late wife Robin.. passed in 2003 after 31 wonderfully married years, the last 7 of which Robin was in poor health. I miss my Babe so much...
I'm working with Poser5, Bryce5.5, Wings3D, PSP-10 and CorelPaint8.My mother (Elnor) is also on this site as Silkylady. If you get a chance, please drop by her gallery and see her work.
Finally, remember these words of wisdom:
1) Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.2) If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails.3) It's amazing what can be accomplished when one doesn't know what one can't do.4) Very few know how much one must know in order to know how little one really knows.5) Give a man fire and you heat him for awhile. Set a man on fire and he is heated for life.6) Complexity is a set of things that we figured how to do right, one built on top of the other, until failure is achieved.7) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.8) Marriage is a place where you can be wrong in ways you never thought possible.9) If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him.. is he still wrong?10) If at first you don't succeed, then cover up all previous attempts that failed.
Please enjoy your visit! Dave :^)(AKA: 'davidoblad','DLO')

stop, we can make a deal
coolcatcom
The min. it loaded my reaction was the same as "yovis" even before I saw his/her comment. Ya, big guy (t-Rex) slow down we can make a deal here.Fun Image.Excellent! (re your question, I for one took Poser 5 and retired it to the waste basket and went back to Poser 4 (many reasons to long to discuss here. Re Bryce, yes the rendering engine is slow but the end result is hard to beat. I tied many "Bryce" is hard to beat. You know it depends what you have in your pic ie., if you have glass,trees, and a lot of reflective material all this slows things down. Your settings are important. You want a long render try volumetirc..you can go on holidays. But when you see the result you may be amased.

Jaylen, the left side represents delicate Order and Life, the right is Chaos and Death. She stands between them. I liked Yovis's comment for a title better than the one I picked. I made these crystals because they looked delicate and organic. (and pretty) :^>
