Description
Makani had always wanted to explore the old mineshaft near his grandparents’ home. Rumors said there were still artifacts lying around and gold nuggets in some of the older tunnels. He talked Anna onto going with him, but as they progressed further into the dark, damp underground, she was having more than a few second thoughts about her decision. The creaks and groans were getting on her nerves and the little squeaks from the darkness made her jump but she would give it a little more time. This was Mankani’s dream and she trusted his judgment – for at least another 5 minutes.
Two nice freebies here: Ancient Mineshaft by genejoke and squarepeg3d’s Morphing Flame for Iray. I had to do a bit of shuffling to get the mineshaft files in the correct places but it works very well and you can string them together to make a deeper tunnel. The morphing flame is pretty much all the light in this scene. It has several adjustments and scales very nicely.

Wonderful image my friend :)
I sense imminent gribbly monster...
Klasse story,wonderful image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the lighting is great
Awesome scene!
the lighting is magnificent
Funny little story that you tell. Fantastic and harmonious render. Very well done, Teri.
she really does look apprehensive. nice work on the fire light.
I think he already has his dream by the hand, poor girl...
Great job!
So Makani is a real brave man! He has to take his girl friend with him to protect him(?) into the dangerous, scary old mine shaft! Very tense atmosphere there! A fine image!
Great job on lighting
Great lighting and scene!!!
Very realistic!
Stop and turn around girl...generally women are far better than men in judging when danger is staring them in the face. Great scene--lighting, environment and posing are all excellent :)
Wonderful scene and story outline!
He's very seductive, and I like the lighting and the worrying atmo, great work !
Great scene and really nice lighting effect, Ms T ! ! ! !
Love Anna's expression. She looks scared.
Great atmosphere and figures, nicely done.
This has "I have a bad feeling about this" written all over it! Ar just said she hopes their adventure in the mine is less stressful - and dryer - than hers was.
Great effects with the torch and dark atmosphere, Teri.
Beautifully done my friend!!
outstanding lighting and characters. she is beautiful
you got her expression right on---she's going-along but nervous and anxious to get it over with. (And great blouse---you clothe your models so well! I like his sweater too.) She's a bit behind him, he's taking the lead, and your dark light gives the appropriate 'scare' feeling, not to mention some prettttty big gaps in the floor planks! (I'd be a lot more scared of them then the creaks, lol...) He even has a slight hesitation in his gaze...Very well done, you capture mixed emotions very well; and, as always, it's a pleasure to see these kinds of tales in Poser and Daz: You have a real native feel for them.
Superb lighting (though the torch flame looks a bit unnatural). Considering the story this render could perhaps be made a bit more eerie -- maybe by adding some haze and cobwebs. But I guess I'm just being difficult. :P
Nice work
