My new and temporary rendering system is still a little buggy from the transferal of my Runtime material et al.. So I decided to render a test pin-up in my white room setting. That way I could really rev up the quality options in the render settings. "Wait up!", shouted Gwen who graciously volunteered to be the subject for today. She has a new hat after all. And speaking of consumerism, I often start a rendering with the intention of creating some kind of faux advertisement. Say the sort of thing you might see in the pages of a magazine. Ads for movies, candy, perfume, jeans, lifestyles, shoes, pot suppliers1 or online universities. Even stun collars for assholes who get too close; 'Take ZAP big boy!'.2 And, I have to admit, that is how this rendering got its genesis. Nevertheless, in the end as often the case, I thought I would leave the advert space blank so that you, the good viewership, may invent your own ad. That is, if you like. That and Gwen is something of a purist when it comes to art, her space is definitely NOT for rent.3 I hope everyone is having a happy Friday and are still enjoying the New Year. Have a great weekend and thank you all for visiting. My ride is here so it is time for me to depart. Cheers!
