Ive been trying to do a character that looks like me. Not quite theyre yet but its getting close.BIOIm a 46 year old Software Engineer living in Wisconsin, United States. Ive been married for 29 years and have three daughters and two grandsons.
I always thought I had no artistic skill whatsoever but when a friend at work introduced me to Poser in Sept 2003 I was fascinated with what he could do. Bren is the person who gave me the nickname of digi-b. Anyway he took off for our division in China and Ive been alternately blown away and frustrated.
I posted my first image at Renderosity on Oct 2003 and surprisingly nobody deleted it and told me to stop wasting their disk space. Instead Ive meet some really great people and received a number of very generous comments. Renderosity is a fantastic place!!

Joel, the lights are stunning excellent work on those and the setup! But this only accentuates your gorgeous subject matter! =) It really compliments that hair superbly and she is quite stunning! What a super pose, too...so alluring, so sensuous, so powerful with that expression. Wow! Excellent work...and I'm glad you aren't a mangled mess!!

Very nice, the light setup is gorgeously working - I also love the reflexes and subtle shines on her skin. Great! Take good care, Yours, Claudia:-)

Now this is really a work of art. I can see this blown up and hung on a wall in someone's den. Exquisite.

Ok, if you want to be really picky, the shadow on the right finger looks a little weird. I had to look at the image for a long time to notice that. This is a stunning piece of artwork.

Awesome portrait Joel... I haven't had too much luck with the lighting in P6 yet. I usually mess it up and just have to start all over... LOL Gorgeous character, and the lghting is sensational! Excellent work!!!

GORGEOUSNESS!! :)

The problem with point lights is that they don't do ambient occlusion, and that's exactly what I'm missing in this portrait, especially around the fingers resting on her arm. I'd love to see a comparison render using spotlights and AO! THe composition is very, very good, the light positioning, color and intensity are wonderful, and that pose and expression are pure perfection! If this were Poser 5, I'd say it's the best that could be done. Excellent work!

Super work!!!!!!!! Since I have been inspired ( hope to post my first one soon ) I have bought an AMD 64 bit system and I have everything but the videocard. What do you use?? Just kind of taking an opinion poll.
