Hey darkjedi, just wondering, how long do those 3d renderings take, and what program do you use?

[/ QUOTE ]

Each piece is a different animal with it's own issues to solve, so it's impossible to give a good answer as to how long they take. I usually spend a day texturing the character's outfit, a day modelling custom props, a day setting up the background, a day posing and rendering the elements, and a day of compositing and post-work. So in general, about 5 days or effort.

Now, some characters don't need custom modelling because their outfit doesn't have shouldpads or anything (like FIRE LILY ), and others are single-tone outfits and I can do their textures in an hour. Other heroes (like the recent CYBORG-GIRL01) have lots of custom modelling and tons of chrome.

Interior backgrounds take a lot longer, while an airy outdoor scene can be done fairy quickly (like CRIMSON STORM ). Of course, there's always exceptions, such as the fur on ROWR and the electricity on THOR'S ASSASSIN , with each presenting it's own unique problems.

For my programs of choice, I use Maya for my modelling, Poser for my characters, Photoshop for texturing and post-work, and Vue 5 Infinite for rendering. Between these programs, I can usually create about a piece a week.

Wow, you can do once a week? That much? Really. I thought it would be longer than that. I've heard of Maya, but not Poser... What's that like? Rather, what does it do?

DJ-

Yet another amazing piece! One thing I've noticed is how well you tie the background in with the color theme of the character.

I always look forward to your latest works.

And congratulations to Starchasm as well! No easy feat what you did.

Agreed. I like the way that the green mist/smoke-stuff from her hands seem to mix with the smog coming from the stacks in the background.

Awesome job, as usual DJ. And gratz to Star!!

Congrats Star!!! The newest Legal Eagle!

And that is an awsome piece DJ! As usual.



Now I need to go schedule an eye exam or something so someone can get me an awsome DJ piece.

Outstanding once again master Jedi! You're work inspires me to keep plugging away with my new Poser 5 program, though I'm a few bugs shy of posting my Spine/Regen main.
Gratz Star on passing the bar... if you look that gorgeous in person the good people of Louisiana will soon turn to a life of crime in hopes you will represent them, lol.
