"Dawn of Mystic Dreams"

Software used: Vue Infinite 6, Poser 6, Photoshop CS3

"Somewhere deep in our minds lies the epicenter of where dreams are born and sometimes they stay with us for many years to come throughout our lives. Distant places and mystical characters with interesting ideas and thoughts which keep us thriving give us hope to reach a new day and to keep us driving forth to a new dawn." - MythArcana

In my endless pursuit to try to balance out my gallery, this one is definitely on the lighter side and is another complete reworking from my archives of yesteryear. It was from a magical time when everything just made sense, the planets were aligned, and all were harmonious in celebration of life. Now that I'm here at DA, we can all throw rocks at it and mock my hard work since Poser was involved. *cough* Regardless of your stance on that issue, this was a lot of work to put together and I realized something shortly after I did this scene; do not use lens flares on point lights in Vue! I think I had close to 20 point lights in here alone and I like to use those instead of spot lights to obtain more control over area lighting instead of using the atmosphere settings which will flood the scene with unwanted light and create nasty black shadows everywhere. I never use 100% shadows in Vue, either, and I find that a good balance between 60%-80% is best in most applications. I'm not sure what I will upload next time as it remains to be a mystery, but stay tuned as MOAR is coming soon!

EDIT: It has come to my attention that quite a few people are not receiving notices for my posts and that somehow I slipped out of their devwatch list! For those who have already been here through the notification system please ignore this edit. But if you didn't get one, please re-add me to your watch list if you wish to catch my work! I'm really not happy about bothering everyone about this, but this is the first step to try to notify my watchers that something is indeed wrong here. I suppose the next step is to mass Note everyone, but I'm really trying to avoid this. Thanks for your patience in this matter!
