Description
It's not appropriate to gaze at someone while they are given over to a spiritual moment. Even with her mask on I can tell Veronica is, well, full of peace and surrenity. Then again, she did sneak into my Runtime church while I was tinkering - trying to create a stained glass effects in Poser. In fairness I didn't see her there until the sunlight started to pour through the heart of the window.
And, in all honesty, I still have not found a way to create a stained glass effect without additional non-Poser tools. In this case there were two Poser renderings:
1. A fully lit scene - 90% of what you see here.
2. A dark scene - no lights save for the window. For creating the lighting effects.
The dark scene is manipulated in GIMP with an outward motion blur effect centred on the heart. This blurred effect is processed by increasing contrast as well as multiplying it with itself. The final processed effect is then added to the fully lit scene.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Cheers!

You really did a great job on this! Getting those god-rays in Poser can be a challenge. Like you, I usually end up adding them in Photoshop. Doing the separate renders is a great, and useful technique - I use it a lot.
