Sweet jeebus! That is purely amazing.
[color=#cc99cc]That is so cool. Looks great, love the skirt on Cyborg. Miso looks really cool too. All around awesome.
Great work, as always, Dj. But why the need to model the entire background to reflect? Was using an environment map not an option?
I appreciate your details and hard work, but what are Cyborg Girl and Miso thinking? Their facial expression looks blank.

This piece is officially the most difficult 3D piece I've done to date. It has 3 major colors that are very different (orange, pruple, and green), in very similar amounts. Plus, the reflective surface on CYBORG required over 40 hours of render time for her armor alone! Her armor also demanded that the entire set be modelled since it would reflect her entire surroundings. Thank goodness DAZ had this incredible warehouse interior.

It came out really well, though, Doug!
Did you consider just doing a rendering of the background and using the rendered map as the reflection map? In the end piece, the reflections don't look specific enough that it would've made a difference.
Oh hell no. I'd have exported the whole thing to POV-Ray format and rendered it there... 40 hours? TRY 200!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!
I keed. It is teh awesome.

For Cyborg girl it made sens to me . Kind of like data of ST:TNG as for myso I dont know that a strong expression would have been better. maybe a sigh evil smile but since she is further away I think that it would be difficult to be subtle.
I always love your 3D DJ but with all the post work you do I sometime wonder if calling it a 3D render is not belittling it. 3D painting might be a better name.
PS: Is it me or the detail shot you identified as myso is actually Cyborg-girl?

Ninja-Edited. Good catch.
Great job, as always!
Amazing as always !
Thanks all. This community is awesome in i's support of all things creative.
Now, a few responses;
As far as the use of nvironment maps, I usually don't go that route because I like the feel of knowng the reflecions are 100% correct. However, I didn't expect the chrome to take 40 hours to render and I might have used the environment map method if I'd known. The reflections were actually *too* reflective at the raw render stage and I took them down about 50%. Still, it wasn't a big deal since I set the render to run on one of my backup machines and my workflow wasn't seriously impacted.
Regarding the faces; I suppose they could use a little more expression, but the client is happy. It's ultimately his call - if he says 'tweak the faces', then I tweak the faces.
...sooo...uberchrome man would be a big suck ta do? crud, there goes another idea down the tubes...... ~
