Description
After watching Joss Whedon's "Firefly" series, I felt inspired to do a picture in the style of a TV series publicity still.
So here's the cast; the astrogator, pilot, and engineer of the blockade runner "Thunderbolt".
Victoria 3.0 figures wearing the Uzilite "Moon Over Saturn" jumpsuit and boots. Hair by DAZ3D.
Thunderbolt and attendant craft are original models built in Truespace. Remaining scene elements, image assembly and final rendering in Bryce 5. No post rendering work.
Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

Looking at the thumb nail I thought it was a real picture. Very well done ~
Very nice mate, very nice :D
Ecellent in many ways,well done.
Just really excellent! The women look like photos of real ones.
Besides all the technical details that you executed so very well, I like the fact that the poses of the figures actually look like there are posing for a photograph. Like it was a casual day and someone just decided to tell these girls. Hay look this way, and snapped a photo. Excellent work.
This is stunning. The character poses and facial expressions are dead on and realistic. The eyes have it! Stunning poser work. Excellent!
I think you realy nailed what you were after. Great attitude on their faces, poses great too. My god another poser picture I really like. What is the world coming to? ;)
looks like you had better luck with the Firefly modeling than I did..;) great pic.
No one should mess up with those girls, the scene is fantastic
Whoah! Your grasp of posture and bodily expressions is nothing short of amazing! Your other scenes show the same subtle mastery of how people really stand, sit, and move around - always appropriate to the situation. Others who use Poser should take a page from your book.
Super work on the characterization and dramatic view of the environment!
outstanding work!!!
This is a very convincing image - from the charcters to their poses and outfit- all matching very good!
Excellent work!
WOW! Wonderful!!!!V
Love the lighting. Soft lighting in Bryce? Cool.
I am a graphics instuctor and this setup is an inspiration to my students, good work
The lighting is very good,.......and I love a woman in uniform !
Well you sure pulled this of very nicely - fabulous!
Facinating Bryce/Poser piece... I am inspired... I love this!
Brilliant!
Incredibly beautiful work. Excellent Details.
I'd watch the show. A very good piece which really look like the characters are responding to the camera. My only crit is the dark section on the crotch made me (at first glance) think something was dangling between their legs...and I shuddered!
Great point of view. Your stuff is wonderful! I too am a traveller player and a firefly fan! Way to go!
Yes.. brillant..very really loock. Very good camera...
very nice
Love the depth. The "lights" material give this tunnel city life. Any constructive criticism would be maybe there are too many lights in the city and not enough (any) on the spacecraft.
