Description
And today's color is...... PINK!She doesn't seem too happy about it.
Just another experiment. I am still getting the hang of using the new features of the PIBL code I wrote. This scene actually makes use of some new stuff I added very recently and haven't released yet.

This is wonderful! Do you use poser or daz/studio? I love Aiko and do a lot of work with her, but since I can't afford the full version, my stuff doesn't come out half as good as yours. Gorgeous!
Personally, I like how she seems to melt into the background, very ninja-esque.

I use poser, but I have also used DAZStudio as well. In this case, I had to use poser for the cloth simulation.
You might be surprised to find out that I don't do my renders in either Poser or DAZStudio. I use some freely available tools called Poseray and Povray to do that work. Povray is an amazingly powerful render engine, but the learning curve is really steep. I have been using the tool for 2 years now and I feel like I have touched on half of its capabilities.

Is poser freeware like dazstudio? I'd be interested in downloading it if it is. I'd also be interested in learning more about Poseray and Povray.
I've been using Daz for about 2 months now and I'm settling into it's capabilities, though I'm still figuring out some stuff.
But it seems like most of the freebies I find on the web are for poser, not daz.

Poser is not freeware, but there might be a trial version over at e-frontier. DAZStudio will work with the poser freebies. You can install them in a different runtime directory and then navigate to that location in DAZStudio. The directory structure will be a bit different as it will follow the poser organization, but I haven't had any problems yet.

Very nice patterns. So your color of the moment is pink too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've always been partial to red. Pink is just a light red, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Red is awesome and yes. i like the old rose pinks more than the bright pink

Interesting, Its good but its hard to see her from the bg (like a ninja
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Her shape seems to be lost in the color and the patterns. :/ Real pretty, though. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, I really do agree quite strongly with this statement. But... I like the scene anyway.

So you don't just use the software, you write it? Interesting...

I only wrote the code that generates the light sets used in the scene.

Since I'm in the mood to say so, I will...
...if you've hit a wall, and commissions don't interest you since they're so much work... and requests would fall under the same creative dampening abilities... why not open a suggestions journal post, where people can suggest elements to an image (as opposed to specific images with specific details) and you can go through the replies, harvesting elements you like and combinging them into something that interests you?
No need to reply, I just wanted to say that. I have far too active an imagination so anything I'd suggest would be too much work ^_^;;;;

Actually, this is not a bad idea. 
However, I will probably do what I always do in this situation. I usually take this time to advance my technical skills with the tools. (Sometimes I write new ones....) This always seems to upset some people as the images I post during these periods are the results of experiments and are not done for artistic purposes. For some reason, everyone seems to expect a masterpeice from every image. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand what you mean by experiments, some of mine are worth showing off, others are like... I want to show, but people would question why I bothered. Ah well XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh... okay. Still though, that's rare. Most people only use pre-made software and tweak setting, not actually write code. I was about to ask about commissions, but then I took the time to find your journal entry about it, I'm not surprised actually. Given that you have to hand craft your models you'd either have to put so much time into your work that you can do it with your eyes closed, or charge an arm and a leg for the work you do. Still though, I apprecaite what you do since it's not all tanks and rooms and other "clean" architectural objects.

Very cool! She must be a ninja, because she's fading into the background. Given the wild pink colors of the BG, her ability must be huge! LOL I love the fabric usage! It had a real looking thickness and weight to it. Very impressive render!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The fabric was an accident, but one of the best type. I was orginally going for a thin silk like appearrance, but it rendered as a heavy type. Even so, it looked really... well.. really interesting. I decided to leave it.

Happy accidents are the best kind. ^__^ V,,

Wow! very impressive.. I like the "don't piss me off" look she has

Okay boys, stay away if you like your wanger. 
I like the Chinese patterns. Is there some metallic texture on the fabric she's wearing? It looks like it. (I love that trick). Nice job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is not metallic. It is a trick with using AOI pigments used with normals in MegaPov. The effect reminds me of a really thick silk rug or something like that.

Oh, there's too much stuff to try. I want a month off! It looks very cool, a nice effect. It does look thick, like a jacquard fabric.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
jacquard? I need to learn more about fabrics....
Right now I'm trying to understand more about radiosity and other things.... not enough time! Ahhhhhggg!
The angle of incident pigments (aoi) are quite fun to play with. I just discovered that you can apparrently blend different textures based on the angle of incidence also. I will have to play with that! I don't understand why the standard povray doesn't incorporate these features. Even the bloody poser render engine can support such features.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe I'm thinking of Damask fabric. 
Never enough time. I know what you mean.
"blend different textures based on the angle of incidence" Okay, that sounds very cool! You could get some strange and interesting effects I think.
I think POV-Ray developement is just very slow going.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was experimenting with the blending of textures tonight. IT WORKS! The following is an example of the syntax.
material{
texture {
aoi
texture_map {
[ 0.00 Texture03 ]
[ 0.05 Texture02 ]
[ 0.42 Texture01 ]
[ 0.50 Texture01 ]
}
}
}

I like when it works.
