Making Clothes for Michael

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Over the weekend and tonight I’ve been teaching myself how to make poser clothing. Mostly I’ve been using Virtual Fashion 1.5 Pro and Poser dynamic cloth. The down side of which is the time to make the simulations and the simulation failures. When it fails the simulations vary from the annoying to the farcical. The […]

Vue Picture: Ardent Veridian

Friday, January 12th, 2007

A render using atmospheres and plants from Linda Daireaux’s Incredibly Lush Tropical Paradise. The ecosystem covering the island is a modified version of one that came in the pack.
