I first started in CGI more than 15 years ago with a used copy of Poser 3. The main supported figures were made by DAZ. Vendors cranked out skimpy wear for the female character. The male character was lucky if they made him pants. The stores were full of sexy poses of the female showing off her bits. The male's poses were mainly him standing for the female to lean against. A buyer had plenty of character morphs and textures to choose from, as long as they were skinny white women.
Ah, Progress.
Even with all the new applications, new figures, and new rendering engines, we are still at it. We still slap the female into clothes that a hooker would find ridiculous and drape her into a position not seen outside of a porno. We throw in a few lights and props and click Render. Instant gratification. Maybe I'm projecting. However, when I view the galleries of other DAZ and Poser artists, I may not be far off. I wonder if they bought Victoria 4 twenty bikinis.
Right now, I'm sure you're saying, "Hey, Willdial, have you seen YOUR gallery?" You are right in calling me a hypocrite. I'm tired. What I describe is about 90% of my gallery here at DeviantArt and about 100% of my gallery at Renderosity. Occasionally, I use Victoria 2 and Victoria 3. But, all I have for them is skimpy wear and pinup poses. That's what was available and what I purchased. This has been a 15 year demonstration that Sex Sells.
My very buying has helped to create a dangerous overspecialization in the marketplace. Several months ago, Zev0 posted that product sales numbers drop to zero within a few days after release. He also said items for the female figure sell better than the male's items, especially the sexy clothes. Vendors, in attempt to make any sort of profits, focused in on that.
Now we are left with stores that are full of skimpy female clothes. That's going to make it even harder for DAZ and Smith Micro to sell to the more profitable video game makers and professional animators. Unless they are making Attack of the Bikini Bimbos, most of the content is going to be useless.
Maybe, I'm having a mid-render crisis. But, I've found having scenes where the characters actually do something to be far more rewarding. In my recent uploads, I have Laura warning Melina to be careful and Melina showing off. I also have Elsa talking on her phone. Those scenes took far longer and more work to setup. But, I found them to be more rewarding. You will be seeing more scenes of life from me. I'll still post some pinups. I have huge back log of them.
Thanks for letting ramble.

Six Years Later
This month's comic was started six years ago. If you don't believe, see here: Walking the Streets and Walking the Streets Close Up. In fact, it was the first comic I started. So, why did it take so long? I ran into problems, So I stopped. After a few years, I tried again. I ran into other problems, so I stopped again. After ignoring it for a few more years, tools and techniques had been created so that I could finish the comic.
Both Vanessa and Supergirl are heavily morphed. And, the morphs didn't translate well to their low res clothes. The Morph Brush really helped out by smoothing out the hard lines in the morphs. Poser 11's Subdivision u
Go Figures
This month's images used Dawn, Victoria 4, Alyson 2, Sydney, Victoria 2, Stephanie Petite 3, Genesis 3 Female, and Pauline. That is a long list. I also used a variety of rendering engines: Firefly, Superfly, Iray, and Octane Render. This probably was the most diverse release I've done.
I know that I'm in the minority by using more than one figure. Most people use one figure because that is all they can afford. The morph packs, the clothing, the hair, the textures get expensive very quickly. I've just collected all this stuff over the years.
If you started this hobby a couple years, Genesis 3 would have been the prominent figure. So, it make
Hate Being Sick
I'm not sure if sick is the correct word.
Last week, I went to the ER with a pain in my left side. They found a kidney stone, a large kidney stone. The doctors broke up the stone and put in a stent.
The main problem is that I'm constantly drinking water and constantly using the toilet. The pain pills make me lightheaded. I have to force myself to eat.
They still have to remove the stent. I'm not looking forward to the pain, but I want things to go back to normal.
Because of all this, I'm not able to release images this month. What a rotten way to start the new year.
Do You Up-Convert?
By Up-Convert, I mean converting an older material setup to a new shader. It would be like taking a Genesis 2 3Delight skin material and converting to an Iray shader. I'm not talking applying the Iray Uber Shader and calling it done. Up-Converting requires setting up the diffuse, glossy/specular, bump, and SSS settings.
Why would anybody in their right mind do that? Genesis 3 and 8 have everything one would need. The characters, clothes, and props are already setup for Iray. You probably have pre-made Iray scenes as well. They're wonderful. What about you're other stuff?
If you look through your library, you'll notice characters, clothes, p

Artistic or meaningfull render don't make fap ...
