Thanks for comments on "Congratulations" { <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/congratulations-sp4750-full.html">http://www.posetteforever.com/congratulations-sp4750-full.html</a> }! <br /> <br /> I guess that I was so relieved to finally complete a satisfatory render, that I forgot to include some details with the post; I decided to do add the details here, since I was not sure how many people return to an image's page more than once. <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/cool.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> First, the credits: <br /> Ana (freebie character morph & texture for P4W) by "Unknown Artist" {I couldn't find a readme for it...}; <br /> Sweep hair (freebie hair prop) by Alla; <br /> Wacy Won (freebie swimsuit) by Nerd3D; <br /> <br /> Champagne Set, Bearskin Rug, Cake & Candles (freebie props) by TrekkieGrrrl; <br /> 5 (freebie number prop) by Ahjah <br /> <br /> Posing, Lighting, and Texture manipulations by Whazizname; <br /> Poser 5 Firefly render, Photoshop 5.5 for postwork. <br /> ------------------- <br /> <br /> Second, What I think was P5's problem with previous render attempts: <br /> <br /> It seems that a combination of my lighting setup {3 point, wide-angle, low shadow bias, depth mapped shadows...}, and TrekkieGrrrl's shaders {reflection & refraction on glasses, transparency & ambience on candle flames & flame "halos"; transparency & bump on Bearskin Rug...} were just too much for P5 to calculate with out hanging. I even added to the problem by trying to use displacement on the Bearskin Rug. <br /> <br /> After I reluctantly simplified TrekkieGrrrl's shader setups, and removed the displacement form the rug, I had to run several test renders to get satisfactory texture colors. <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> But; I think it was all worth it to wish this wonderful site a "Happy Fifth Anniversary". <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR718 (6).gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/happy8.gif" alt="" />
