    I need to stop lurking and post something.

    This was my favorite car as a kid:

    Ford Thunderbird.

    *+2 Wardrobe & Style

    Looks can definitely be deceiving. At first glance, one wouldn't assume that this tiny, 5' tall, bubbly, cheerful, outgoing, innocent and naive, "cute as a button", Southern Belle, with big, bright blue eyes and long blonde hair was also an in incurable Tomboy and a master mechanic. The second of three children, Thomasina "Tommie" Jean Davis (Never call her "Thomasina"; she hates it) was named (for the most part) after her grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Davis (her parents were hoping for a boy). Her parents were killed in a car accident when she was seven yeas old, leaving her and her younger brother to be raised by her Grandpa Tom (a widower) in the small town of Allgood , AL, while her older sister joined the US Army. Growing up, Tommie would spend most of her free time helping out in her grandfather's auto repair shop, where it soon became apparent that she had a "gift" for the trade. By the age of 17, she was already a master auto mechanic, and even managed to build a huge F-150 king cab Monster truck (that she affectionately calls Tommie's Li'l Tonka) from the ground up. The rest of the time, aside from school, she'd enjoy going hunting and fishing (and skinny-dipping), in the local woods and streams without a care in the world. This small town conservative southern upbringing without any real female influence, resulted in an incurable tomboy who, even at 17, had never yet had "The Talk" about "the birds and the bees", and whose idea of going out with a guy is "goin' fishin'". That would all change when she meets two people who would have the greatest impact on her life; the day she learned of her sister's death in the war. The first was her sisters friend, Maria Angelina Mirandez who, like a surrogate "Big sister", would take Tommie under her wing. The second, was Kuraiyama Kenichi Kageto, an introverted Japanese young man seemingly broken by numerous tragedies in his life, whom Tommie takes upon herself to break out of his shell.

    Personality and Motivations:
    An incurable Tomboy, Tommie Jean Davis is bubbly, cheerful, friendly, outgoing, innocent, and incredibly naive about the larger world outside of her small town, as well as about boys and the relationships between the sexes. She loves everybody and doesn't have a hateful bone in her body. She's also impulsive, mischievous, and a bit stubborn. This, combined with her naivete and thick Southern drawl, which makes her stick out like a sore thumb in any big city, means she can easily get herself in over her head. On the other hand, that same innocence along with her natural beauty and "Southern charm" has gotten her out of trouble more than once. Tommie is also very loyal to her friends and family and is never without at least one tool (usually a wrench)in her possession. Woe be to any who touches her beloved tools.

    ...nice work there.

    Always amazed at the conversions from other formats. Never could get the process down myself. Hex can import .3ds and .stl, but without any textures or material zones (and Hex's UV mapping is not all that great). Really wish Daz had native .3ds import.

    I usually select the surface zones and repaint using saved presets I've either cooked up myself or bought. That seems to usually work better than mapped materials. At least for Ray traced car renders.

    Still love my Doug Mason '55 Chevy Belair. One of a kind it was.

    That car is badass. Like you have to crank 80s metal while driving it to your gf's place badass.

    ...so, been fooling around with Iray for awhile now Did a test to help someone who was having problems getting the chrome and tyred materials to look right on the 1950s Family Car.. So set up the same scene using the same HDRI (one of the Yosemite ones) and shaders to help her figure out what was wrong. Posted the pic with my suggestions and she was very thankful.

    Well as usually happens with me I just can't leave something alone and ended up turning the simple test pic into a 50s styled promo which including giving the car the same paint job my grandad's had, adding a pretty girl and a few picnic props.

    Rendered in Iray postwork in PSP and Gimp.

    No picnic basket rustling bears or park rangers were harmed in the process.

    Thanks. Great piece. I've gotta wonder two things. First, Who's shorter, Tommie or Shorty? And, what would happen if the two of them met?What kind of chaos would ensue? :lol:

    WOW!...five cars, two characters, and the background building. How did your pooter hold up through rendering that much in one scene? Memory watch out!

    really nice Betsy!

    There is actually about a half dozen cars in the scene, and four characters, the pooter was definitely giving me fits alright!

    Thanks, downloading now. Nice to have a '53 Cadillac with Dagmar bumpers and all to play with, it's a good car to test chrome shaders on...

    I double checked that file with the one I had previously downloaded and it is the exact model we have been using in renders here.

    Thanks Cherokee, I would never have figured out where to tell the guy to go get it, it sure has turned out to be one of the best Caddy models out there!
