R3 Redheads Jam: Anomalous Data

[Gnabbist]

Um, Pasadena, we're seeing some anomalous data in the feed
from the rover... Yeah. THAT data. And, along with the
image, there appears to be a text message:

"So, is that your Instrument Deployment Device-- or are you
just happy to see me?"

This is my second contribution for the R3 Redheads Jam-- see

Once again, a visual gag, rendered via DAZ Studio. I first
posed the girl in mid-air as if she were sitting in a chaise
lounge, holding a drink, and amusedly regarding something
off to her right. Naturally, I then proceeded to BUILD a
chaise lounge, and a drink, and a bangle, and so on... and
finally stumbled upon a suitable "something" in the Google
3D Warehouse, courtesy of Alvaro. The weird skydome texture
is from an old landsat photo snagged offa the internet years
ago; not sure where that was originally from. Hair by
Kozaburo again. One of these days I should learn how to use
Omnifreaker's shaders to speed up rendering on more modern
(read: complex) hair props, to where my aged PC can handle
them; but, for now, the simpler stuff still works well.

In an attempt to maintain this group's R rating,
here's some gratuitous nudity.

This image used a more sophisticated lighting rig,
to get the shadows Down There to work properly.
Also, a fairly aggressive wide-angle lens, for
artistical distortion effects. Ooooohhh...! 8^j*

An actor's "head shot"-- from an earlier render.

And finally, while I had the location available (so to
speak), I couldn't pass up one touristy scenic snapshot.
Plus, after manhandling DAZ's Millennium Environment
terrain into the scene, I needed to showcase that work
a bit.

I'm also rather pleased with how my modest little
lighting rig helps harmonize the colors of the image
here. Not bad for three fill lights and one shadow
caster.

Heh, important clarification. 8^j* Thanks, Thom!
