Glad you like. As always, thanks for the comment I know what you mean about the pedestal thing and I keep trying to work it but I can never seem to get them right Working on another render atm, a jungle theme. Hopefully it all works right and my panthers don't look too hideous.

The pedestal looked fine, one of the cooler ones in my opinion. All I was saying is that it as a base takes away the idea of an actionable figure in a imaginable enviroment, you know?

Agreed. They work for character snap shots as part of a profile. They are a lazy prop, too easy to throw out there.

I am rendering the jungle scene now. WTB decent big cats...if they come out like I think they're going to, the scene is trashed and I'll have to come up with something else. What are you working on?

Rendering a practice image. DAZ Pro had a ready made scene so I took that, made a few changes and added another figure just to check out the content I have loaded so far, play with lighting etc.. All genesis content, particularly the stuff I was having trouble with. Its working now. Having fun getting back at it. In a way, its not so bad starting over since I have a better idea what Im doing and and can understand and organize better.

You 'sound' like you're getting it under control! Hope you post your scene! Does Studio Pro flow any better than the basic program? I've seriously got to download it and give it a whirl, I keep talking about it and then I get into my comfort zone and work with Poser. Hurry up so I can bug you with How do I get this to work?! and where do I find that at?

I saw sprayed lines on the road on my way home tonight, city is getting ready for a winter mix by the looks of it. Just checked the TWC and yay, suppose to snow tomorrow night and I'm off the next day. 1 inch expected...we've had an exceptionally mild winter this year, in fact it has been a nonexistent winter actually. Oh well I'm not complaining, it beats what we had last year and that was mostly ice. Mother nature can keep her ice.

Only a little bit. Spent a lot of time today watching tutorial videos and just playing with content, light and camera angles, putting together a quick image and rendering it, then deleting it all. Won't be much help to you with your questions I fear. Still reloading content and still a long way to go.

But, you should try it. When Im not so overwhelmed with DAZ, I plan on trying poser, eventually.

Well you already know more than I on DS, you've got it installed and have done some renders, I haven't even gotten that far yet. Getting used to their UI is probably half the battle. We'll see, I keep talking about it and I've been talking about it since DS3...just when I'm about to do it, they roll out a new version and I'm like ok, I'll wait until they get the bugs worked out then try it...LOL

Since Pro is free, which comes with auto fit, I'm more likely to give Studio a try. I'm not even going to let it near my Poser runtime, just going to install items for it by redownloading the content. I've been keeping up on the Genesis figures, being a PC member I've taken advantage of the sales even if I haven't given the figures a spin yet. Just didn't want to be caught down the road with playing catch up by having to purchase the items at a much bigger price. Oh at the rate I'm going I'm probably going to be needing a new PC soon...
