Way better than my first model -whatever it was. Same goes for Jan's.

'Casa de Lotsaroof'.

Lucky you. Looks good.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up, Pilou.

That plant is up to no good.

Yeah--i buy it. . .

As the title says. Rendered with Indigo.

Oooh, well done! Great lighting.

Well ... in the end it all comes down to the question which app you enjoy using the most. Try extensively, and then follow your gut.

Thea’s a fine app. It’s hybrid rendering mode (GPU + CPU) is blazing fast. It’s been over a year, though, since the latest version of the core app, Thea Studio, was released. Since then, the developers have gone shtum. Questions about Thea’s development remain unanswered, promises about forthcoming news turn out empty.

VfSU’s development used to be abysmal. It’d take ages until bugs got sorted, if at all. However, that has changed since Chaos Group took over. Today, the app’s development is going strong. Vray may be a little slower than Thea, currently, but I have no doubt whatsoever that’ll change. Over the course of the years, Vray (not just VfSU) has only gotten better, and easier to use.

From my perspective, going with Vray looks like the safest bet, at the moment.

As will all sorts of creepy crawlers.

Good luck, Baz, and a happy 2018. Do let us know how the house is coming along.

My deepest sympathies go out to his family.

Same developer, different apps.

I know you’ve been waiting for it, and Christmas can’t really start without it. . .(...)

Merry Christmas, David. I promise: during Christmas dinner I shall raise a glass of Moët & Chandon to you and the rest of the teetotaler club.

Me too. I am a permanent fixture.

Currently, all I can afford is a small bucket.

Nope. I only did the cap and the stick. Oh, and the figure's socks. The rest -the figure and the bathrobe- I merely posed and adjusted. Pretty easy to do, too. I have no intention on learning how to model figures, so I took the easy road that Daz offers.

I know -it's shameful how lazy I am.

Anyhow ... this approach sure beats having to rely on wooden manikins!

Pic of figure only -though it's nothing to do with SU.

Did this as a reference for a drawing. SU + DAZ Studio + Modo.

Pretty handy, DAZ Studio, if you're not into full-blown character modeling.

Have a nice weekend.

Indeed!
