Yes way!
Oddly enough, my muse took some time off from 3D for about a month before slowly oozing her way back.
I’m probably rendering again because I am waiting for my old camera to sell now that I have my nikon.
So, rather than worry if it’s going to sell, I will pour my jitteriness into some renders.
Let’s see if my muse will keep it up or not.

Anyways, here is my first render for this brave new forum.
Image rendered in LuxRender using the Reality plug-in for DAZ Studio.
Render time: 48 minutes with two versions using different focal points and f/stops rendering simultaneously.
Blended the two renders together in Photoshop Elements with some other minor postwork.
In the Reality plug-in window, very little tweaking was needed for the materials used. I set the little floating robot’s “eyes” to blue glass. I set the red LEDs in the BG to lights. Some other minor adjustments.
The rest of the lighting is one Image Based Light free from HDRLabs.com/sibl and one curved “meshlight” behind the camera which is essentially a glowing plane with bent sides.
