I’ve spent quite a lot of time playing around in Daz|Studio, Carrara and Poser for my rendering recently, but for this latest piece, I’ve gone back to Vue, which I think is still one of my favourite render engines, particularly for making more arty-looking fantasy pictures.

This is a scene from a story I finally finished writing this year, 7 years after I started it.  OOPS!

The characters were set up individually in Poser, then imported into Vue Studio for rendering.  I chose to render the zombie texture on the main male character in Vue using the Poser Shader Tree.  It nearly killed my PC.  I had to turn the figure down to a wireframe bounding box only just so I could interact with the scene!  I keep mooning over 6-core i7s, and thinking how much easier all this would be with a higher spec machine.

Maybe next year… 🙂
