Description
And Virginia has proof with her trusty digital camera. Soon Santa will be on every facebook page and scattered throughout the internet. She knew that Santa couldn't resist the milk. Virginia may get coal in her stocking, but it was worth it!
Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you! May your days be happy for now and always.
BTW, if you do the full size, the picture is 1024x768 for desktop wallpaper if you'd like to use it as such.
Vue/Poser/Photoshop/Painter
This was posed in poser, rendered in Vue and then taken into Photoshop and Painter for special effects, hair, etc.
The church and house out the door were pre-rendered and set up as an alpha plane. Otherwise, I probably never would have got hte renderer to do it in 1 gig. It really complained about what I did put into the scene which was quite a bit.
The tree, as I reminded people other years, is from the Daz Redhouse Christmas Carol Expansion. If you plan to use it or the wreath, you will probably need to turn the reflection off on the materials. Otherwise it will bring Vue down to a very slow system, at least on mine.

Outstanding image Louis. Yea.. those polygons and textures sure add up fast. The results are well worth the effort. I'm wishing your Christmas and New Years are most generous to you and yours. Happy Holidays from Dave :^)
