Description I like to move the camera around and try different things... like a panoramic scene. It keeps me from getting bored. That is how this scene came about. It originally started as something completely different. The first version wasn't going the way I wanted it, so I scrapped it and started over. This turned out much better.

Just as a side note, the scene is not rendered over a background image. The sunset was created using Poray defined objects and materials. I borrowed some tricks from , so I want to make sure she gets some credit.

Ahhh... what's more romantic than a roaring sunset and a luscious elven babe with chan links all over!! I bet she's even got spikes and daggers somewhere around!!

Very cool work pal, looking great - the POV is very well chosen and i like a lot her expression - looks like an ad poster for some travel agency ("gift yourself a trip to the Elven Shire islands - there be cuties ahead!!!" LOL!) Great work!!

PS: is the top of that outfit "way spirit"?

Why yes! The top is from "way spirit". (Although the material is not.)

Someday, I might post the version where she is just wearing the belts and rings........

Waahhhh!! Stop it!! Between you and fredy i'm knee deep in drool up there y'know? *wander to look for his life-ring*

Just asking because it looked like it, but the material is way cooler than the standard ones! Povray materials?

The outfit combo came out nicely and the materials look really great!
The metals look particularly good, just not sure about the lighting here.
The wide framing box looks new and refreshing, that was a nice touch! ^^

I get so tired of seeing the same image formats and camera angles over and over (even though I am guilty of this myself...). It was nice to do something different for a change. I used to do a lot of panoramic photography. everyone seems to think panoramic means landscape, but you can do some pretty coo closeups with it as well.

Yes, I know what you mean. I also tried something new in my last gallery pic, where I mixed up 2 types of toon with traditional shading to bring up some different looks. I am always looking for different things. ^^

Oooo, Ahhhh, I REALLY like this!! Is that shiney red one of your metals? It looks fantastic! And so do her eyes. Just everything about it is great, the composition, the colours,... Also like the sun glow on the right. Great sky too!
All just so excellent (big smile on my face).

The shiny red is similar to one of my metals, but it is a new material I made just for this scene.
I used one of the realskies.inc skydomes with a plane like you suggested. The sun glow on the right is made by using MegaPov's glow object. (Although it could have been done with Povray's media effects.)

The red is lusious!! Geez, that's another thing I gotta try, glow objects. I read about it a while back, and it looks cool. I need more play time!

Wow! Very nice! The reflections on her clothes are way cool... What hair is that? It looks fab.

The hair is Ultrasalon's princess hair. It was originally for Posette. I had a tough time fitting it to Aiko. I had to create some magnets to get it on right. It has got on heck of a braided tail though!

Whoa, that turned out awesome!!!!!! What outfit is that? I must have it!! a BVH, perhaps?

Lokai2000 In reply to taterbug [2006-04-17 23:34:46 +0000 UTC]

Actually, the outfit has pieces from 5 different outfits. The top is DAZ's Wayspirit. The thigh pieces are from DAZ's Elea outfit. The skirt is from Lelu's casual set here at deviantart. The boots are from DAZ's Ravyn outfit (Only a very little bit of them can be seen). And the rings/belts are from some old victoria bondage set I had sitting around. I like to mix and match.

The materials are custom makes by me. Unfotunately, they only work in the Povray raytracer. Now that you mention it, they do look a lot like BVH's materials don't they....

I like to mix and match pieces and tie everything togehter with the material definations.

Wow, that's really cool! I like to mix & match, but none of mine come out looking as natural as that. lol And yup.. looks like something straight from BVH's twisted imagination. lol It's wicked, dude.
