It's there https://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=24913.0
To (very) short the theme: Summertime and flowers.

Thanks... I'll try and create something... Seems simple enough.  I've been busy renderin' for the Daz Summer Sale... busy... busy.

Enjoy!!!

I think I'm just about caught up with my contest artwork.  I'm creating a render a day for the Summer sale over at Daz but I won't be able to post them til June is over.  I'll try and create some artwork just for here.... Our foster kittens have all found FURever homes and our house is somewhat back to normal.  We can now plan on doing some day trips so if I'm not here for a few days... please don't worry.  Stay well one and all... Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi folks. Sorry for being scarce. Having issues to deal with. I am working on resolving them. No, it's not my health.
Nice image, Llola.

Thanks Agent... hope things calm down for you really quick.  Stay well.  Hugzzzzzz

Was staring at Daz Studio and trying to be inspired and this is what came out of it Lolz!

Was messing around with some new 3Delight shaders and this is what came out of it!!

whoo hoot Saph... Well done.

FYI.. I find if I need inspiration... a pose works... Pick a character and pose them... then I work on the surrounding scene.  ;)

This is a reduced version of my latest image. I uploaded the full sized version to DeviantArt, and it got a favorite in less that 15 minutes! "WOW!" is all I can say! This one is a continuation of my image series about the SS Leviathan.



SS Leviathan Delivers Neutronium


Procyon A-4 is a water world, with a few thousand islands of various size. The planet was a perfect world to build Neutronium Alloy Refineries. These refineries are specially built to handle the extremely volatile nature of neutronium, ( if neutronium cannot be kept in its compressed form, it will expand explosively, producing an explosion that makes the nuclear explosions of the 20th century look tame by comparison). The reason Neutronium in its natural environment (neutron stars) is kept contained by its own collective gravity, so that it cannot expand. Such is the nature of a Neutron Star. Technology had to be created, through trial and error, to make harvesting neutronium possible. The first attempts at extracting neutronium were disastrous. As the extraction device escaped the gravity of the neutron star, the compression of the device could not contain the neutronium, which was barely the size of a grain of salt. The result was practically an immediate violent expansion of that small amount, destroying the extraction device, and anything within 250,000 miles of the event. It took the merging of technology from several ISA members to finally build an extractor that could contain the neutronium under adequate pressure. The first successful extraction was a surprise, and the developers were still fearful that there would still be an explosive expansion. But they got it to the special lab, where the experiments were to be conducted. That lab worked well for several tests, but was destroyed by a mistake that was made by one of the scientists working on alloying the neutronium with super-metals. His mistake cost him and everybody at the lab their lives, and nearly half of the collected experimental result reports were lost. A new lab was built with safeguards built in, and it survived until a successful alloy for neutronium was developed. Also exotic energy was found that could add strength to the containment compression systems that could now keep the neutronium from being able to expand so violently. Eventually, the advances made brought with it the ability to build very resilient ships from the alloys developed. Thus ships like the neutronium harvester SS Leviathan were built, with neutronium alloy containment and extraction devices included.
Now, in the 28th century, Neutronium is harvested, refined, and alloyed with special super-metals, which is used to build ships, the refineries, and all containment and extraction devices. How do they keep the nature of uncompressed neutronium in check? By using the energy that is produced naturally by the neutronium, to reverse the violent expansion rate to compression against itself. This only needs about 0.0001% of the energy produced, allowing all other systems to use the rest of that energy in whatever way it is needed.
The SS Leviathan is delivering Neutronium to one of the Neutronium Alloy Refineries on Procyon A-4. The stealth ship SS Invisible is patrolling the area, to ensure that enemy forces are not able to launch an attack on the refinery; as there have been a few attacks on other refineries on the planet. Little damage was done in these attacks, but there were enough damages to cause those refineries to shut down until repairs could be made. This of course slowed the production rate significantly, and that is why stealth ships were called in to protect the planet. Attacks are always timed to coincide with a neutronium delivery, as the facility will be its most vulnerable at that time. The stealth ships have cloaking technology, and their weapons are hyperdriven neutronium pellets the size of a hydrogen atom, that is contained by a very thin layer of the weakest neutronium alloy. When it hits at that speed, the result is obliteration of the target, to the point of being converted completely into energy. To get the pellets launched, a hyperspeed railgun is used, and the pellet will maintain that speed until it hits a target. The stealth ships have become feared by the enemy, as they can handle enemy ships that are thousands of times their size.

So it seems I don't do many renders with vehicles in them, may need to change that.
Anyway here is one I did do for the Daz+ Inspiration Contest - June 01 - June 14, there are wheels in there so it counts right?
