    It's a really beautiful portrait and I like the use of blue smiley


    A portrait (technically a smart content's icon) using the Electric Bucket Bike and FK dForce Charmed Soul Jewelry Set Genesis 9, 8, and 8.1 Female. Other items in the gallery: 'Victoria 8.1 - Portrait on Bike' (a rather uninspired name, but I didn't really have a story on the back of my mind while creating the scene, outside of wanting a nice icon for Victoria's pose's freebie):

  • "Tara & Sylvia  In SPACE!" is my unoriginal title.

    New: https://www.daz3d.com/tara-9-hd, https://www.daz3d.com/tara-9-hd-succubus-add-onhttps://www.daz3d.com/tara-9-hd-succubus-add-on, https://www.daz3d.com/sylvia-9-forest-skin, https://www.daz3d.com/hs-choppy-bob-hair-for-genesis-9, https://www.daz3d.com/dw-sci-fi-corridor-vignette, & poses from Family Fun Shapes (Christmas freebie)

    Blast from the Past: https://www.daz3d.com/liquid-halo-on-sky-16-for-genesis

    Finally getting back to rendering after all the holiday buying. I did this last night to try out some of my newest goodies. I'd made a comment about using Succubus Tara as an alien, and I wanted to try out Sylvia as well. That's how they ended up patrolling this isolated corridor on a random space station that's no doubt about to be invaded by something worse than a fantasy demon.

    I don't think I've used strand based hair before, but it was in the Sylvia 9 character bundle. I was pleasantly surprised that it played so well with my aging, highstrung system (nicknamed HAL9000 2.0) The corridor proves that there is some use for all. Those. Halls & Rooms we get as Plus/Premier freebies - great to toss in a scene when your new virtual friends just need a place to be. Liquid Halo is one of my Golden Oldie faves & it autofitted really well to Sylvia & Tara, except the LH blasters & holsters kept ignoring the Parent in Place and Fit To.

    "Evening Rendezvous"

    Had a little time this holiday weekend to test some new stuff. I might have gone with a smidge less over-the-top presentation of the dress, but it appears the poses with this set pose the figure and  the garment, and aside from deleting and re-loading the dress (which I'd already textured with Lully's Colors - definitely becoming a go-to favorite) it wasn't obvious to me how to un-pose the dress.

    Lully's Colors ... again. Freebie, no longer available. Also used the earrings from the FK dfForce Charmed Soul set, but in this last version, I switched to a hair that covers her ears.

    I used a lot of stuff I got in the holiday sale for this. You can see the full list of what was used in my gallery here (sorry for being lazy, I had to do this long list in my gallery twice .... long story).

    Story:
    Queen Ixchel stood on the edge of the hidden trail, her eyes scanning the dense foliage ahead. The sun high in the noon sky, casting shadows that danced with the whispers of the forest. Her warriors, a formidable force of skilled fighters, followed behind her. Queen Ixchel had led her warriors through the winding trail, their footsteps barely making a sound on the forest floor. The air was thick with anticipation, every rustle of a leaf or snap of twig heightened their senses. This trail was known only to the Amazons, a secret path that wound through the heart of their realm, leading to the secret tunnel to the outside world. The safety of their realm depended on the success of their mission to ensure the caves hidden entrance had not been compromised.

    Image Title: Hidden Trail

    Blue Giant:

    One day, while reading the local newspaper, a photo caught Lacey's eyes.

    Under the article's title, 'Jazz Concert for the grand reopening of the newly renovated Rising Sun', the saxophonist was no more and no less than the man who played for both of them last June, during Music World Day.

    'What a perfect timing', she thought, before booking two tickets.

    She almost forgot to make sure Victoria was not planning something for the same evening, and a couple of days ago, both dressed to the nines, they sat on the first row and had a fantastic evening, far from the turmoil of the outside world.

    All items used are in the gallery. Recently bought items:

    Not a very developed piece, but I came up with a new method to fit shoes to the hooves of my succubus character, and I used dForce SU Sexy Sweater Set as part of the scene.

    Every Rose Has Her Thorns

    I was trying out CJ Raine HD For Genesis 9 with Daz+ inspiration contest being an excuse, and it's probably the closest to a Valentine's Day render I'll get. I like the model, and I'll likely use her again. Other items in the gallery.

    The DAZ+ inspiration contest is also getting me to finally try some of my new buys. I tried out XI Japanese Town and did a couple of cinematic story renders, using much older buys like Toshi and other things for the first time as well.

    Toshi takes on the dark samurai

    @acb > Wow. It does look great (I suppose you have used Hat check to put the hair under the whatever it is called in english she's wearing over her hair ?)

    @Matt_Castle > the top is drapping a bit strangerly under her right arm (I have it too but I don't remember if changing the dForce weight map node helps or not in this area) but, hum, why would a succubus need boot over her hooves ? It's not like she's trying to be discreet with the whole 'I have horns and a demon tail' business laugh

    @joanna > Great render with a great character (I love her face, I was close to buying this character, but I already have too many sitting unused in my library).

    @SapphireBlue > I like the whole atmosphere, the bloomy lights and the camera behind his shoulders, capturing the moment before the action start.

    Regarding the bloom, is everything done in Daz Studio (I rarely use bloom so I don't know what's possible or not with it) or did you do some postwork ?

    ------

    A simple portrait, using Hanako 9, Dawn over Kyoto. I got her Pro bundle last month, when someone at Daz decided to offer discount stacking through the roof, on my subscription last day with two coupons unused.

    No real story, just some ideas thrown at the wall (see the gallery) but I mainly wanted a portrait using Old Kyoto as a backdrop.

    Link to the items used in the gallery. The yukata is freebie is availabe on ShareCG, by yomiuri (a G8F version is also available):

    Thank you.smiley

    And that's right, I used Hat Check with the Dutch Milkmaid Headscarf (the item name)

    Elor Thank you! smiley
    Regarding the bloom - it's mostly done in Daz Studio for these two renders. For the first image I had bloom on medium high in DS, but upped it just a little bit and softened it in post. For the second image, all the bloom effects are from the DS render. (Since the bloom effects were pretty heavy already in the second render, especially due to the narrow DOF, I didn't do anything to that aspect in post.) 
    Otherwise, both images did go through a little bit of postwork - a bit of color grading and grain - only because I wanted the clean renders to have a little more of a gritty look.

    Your Hanoko render is very pretty! I also want to put the Old Kyoto set to use soon. And thank you so much for sharing about the freebie Yukata outfit! I was looking for a G9 kimono or yukata this week for my renders, since the G8 ones may give me some autofit/dForce troubles on G9. yes

    If she went bare-hoof, she'd track mud about the house every time she came indoors, and that would just be silly. And steel shoes would scrape up the floor horribly.

    (Ultimately, creature races being fully dressed is an established part of my setting; it helps establish the tone of the society.)
