This one has taken the longest to do, and the one I'm least happy with. Neither Poser or Vue with 2 gigs of memory could beging to handle this rendering. In fact neither could even handle the Hindu character (woman with all the arms) alone with no background in any detail. I had to render each one of the five figures separately, then cut out the backgrounds and composite them on a photo background of a sunset. The layers of smoke are one from bottom to top in the back. One at the foot of the picture in the very front, and the third behind the Hindu, the Buddist and the Arab, but in front of the Jew and the Christian.
We've got lots of stuff on these five characters, so let's get started, because this is going to take a while. Working from bottom left across:
The Hindu : Victoria 3 base character times three. Injected with the Aurora character by Anat Dayag, and the skin tone by Runtime DNS. I went into the dial controls on two of the Victoria characters and turned off the "visible in ray trace" box on everything but the two shoulders. That left the nipples showing through at disctinctly wrong places, so a little negative breast augmentation took care of that. She is wielding six Khukri knives by Panos Coliopoulos. Her ankle bracelets are by Joe Kurz. She is wearing earrings, a Fantasy Helmet, and a nose to ear chain by Maveris. The snake arm jewelry is by Richard Taylor and the necklace is from Technology3D. She is wearing Nordic breast plate armor with my own texture and armbands by Charles Taylor of Nerd3D Graphics. Finally there is the V3 hip cloth created by Shanim and Silipheil of Awful Soul. Her hair, which you can hardly see is the Ultimate pony tail by DAZ studios.
The Buddist: Michael 3 base character. I loaded all the head and body morphs and went to work with the dials on this one myself. I was looking at a statue of a huge buddah as my guide. His robe is dynamic cloth by Mapps. I couldn't find a reference to any weapon he ever carried, so I have the morphing skull by xxx floating over his left hand.
The Arab: Michael 3 base character, wearing a dynamic cloth robe by Mapps. His turban is by TLMeyn. His beard is the M3 long beard by DAZ studios. He holds a shield by xxx and a sword by xxx that is totally incorrect for an Arab fighter of the time period. He must have found it where some time traveler dropped it <right!>. His sandals with straps are by xxx.
The Jew : Michael 3 base character, who's been injected with the Uncle Al retiree morphs by Janimatrix. He is wearing a dynamic clothing robe by Neko. His beard and hair are from Anton's Beard & Hair set at DAZ studios. The staff is a morphing one by xxx.
The Christian : Michael 3 base character, wearing real deal free dress two by Richard Travis and metallic belt by xxx. His beard and hair are from Anton's Beard & Hair set at DAZ studios. He is wearing the P4 male's conforming sandals. His belt is actually a Victoria 3 conforming item by xxx, and the whip is part of the Ringmistress set by PhilC.
I'll be filling in the xxx's as time permits.
