Description
Hi all - This is experiment # 4 with Poser 8. I decided to really test this software. I started creating this picture last night (but didn't feel well so I didn't finish it until tonight.)
This is a full on render from Poser and I loaded it up with several characters and props. I did some special lighting - added a couple extra lights even. And finally I cranked up the render settings.
This picture rendered extremely fast. Like about in 10 to 15 minutes. (I lost track because I was working on dishes at the time.) Anyhoo, I spent much more time just setting this pic up than in doing the render time. I even rerendered it several times to get this the way I wanted it to be.
I am very pleased with Poser 8 in relation to render times. I'm not too thrilled with the library interface. The icons are really small. But otherwise, I'm able to do all kinds of things easily.
Anyway, here you see a lovely sorceress doing magic with her crystal ball. She's being watched by her companions - a python and a dragon. They are most eager to see what she'll create. And it's fun to watch the light show.
Please zoom for details. Lots to see.
Thanks sooooo much for your favs and comments on my last three pics. I appreciate it. I have done my best to get caught up on comments. I had to take a break tonight but I'll catch up tomorrow.

You did very lovely pic!
Excellent magical scene! Love the sorceress's companions!
good render - and a good render time too, gotta be happy with that:)
A super little scene with all these characters and how wonderful to have a fast render time for them. What a difference. You have got great lighting here as well and the little sphere looks to be quite powerful. Excellent work.
