Description
Shirley: So I'm Diana! Cool... LOVE these wings ... Now where's Apollo? Pandora: Still looking for the hair dye. Natasha: What about Nikita? He should be in this procession too! Jeannine: I don't think mice are allowed. Shirley: I'm the goddess of wild animals. He's allowed. Pandora: He better be. He's a wild one! 
N-I-K...I-T-A... Jeannine: No, no, no. Sing this: O Muses, come to the holy peak... Pandora: %&@#. 
Dumb tune, dumber words. Jeannine: Too bad. It's the Delphic Hymn to Apollo, from 138 BC. Pandora: But Apollo isn't even here. He hasn't found the hair dye yet.(They could go on forever like this...

An entry in the contest Nemoralia, A Shimmering Procession -
Pandora: $#@&! I thought you said a shimmying procession...well, too late now! 
- by (bridge: [link] ) and (temple: [link] ).
The Muses are wearing the Himation from the Victoria 3 Mediterranean Dress and Wrap. Shirley's "divine" wings are the wings of the DAZ eagle, the rest of whom has gone for a walk.
Wreaths and sandals are from the ElfDance:Enchanted set [link] by Goldtassel and SWAM.
If you're interested
, the Delphic Hymn has been recorded several times. There's a partial translation by Richard Hooker at [link] .

I love the motion in this one. I was actually thinking of trying the layering thing for doing large groups without melting mt GPU.

It's a pain, but it works. To do something like this in one pass, the main thing you need is not so much CPU as memory. I've got 2 GB now, which is plenty for an image as complex as this, and probably somewhat more.
Of course, if your motherboard can't handle that much, then you are looking at more expense and a lot more work - or a new computer...

Muito obrigado!
There are many figures (characters and most of the clothes) - more than Poser could handle. So I did several renders on the same background and layered them in Photoshop.
The dresses were challenging, but the sandals were 
Good lighting is still partly a matter of luck for me. I do have some techniques for making Poser shadows that will work on a stock background. I've thought of doing a tutorial on shadows in both Poser and PS...
