A summer fun entry. A lot of links to look through. You have a link to the original Antonia figure; but not to the DS4 conversion by amy_aimee and you have a link pointing to styles for the Jamie hair; but no link to the actual hair itself (made by AprilYSH). You have enough links to other freebies; so I will accept your entry. I would be nice if you could provide the proper links to the two items I pointed out.

When I was twelve we bought a farm in the Cascade Range in Oregon. On the west edge of the property ran the Santiam River. Every summer, my 5 brothers, sister and I would go swimming. It was darn cold but what do kids care. It was water and it meant that if we were swimming then we weren't having to do farm work. It was a great afternoon when that happened. Where we lived there were huge Cottonwood trees and Douglas Firs along the banks. We had one little spot that was sandy everything else was just rocks or trees.
My sister was the meanest one of us kids. She also liked to sun bath. When she was sunbathing she did not like to be disturbed. We, the brothers and me, were always saying that was when we should attack. So, although the names have been changed to protect the innocent and I am pretty sure that the scene was never real, this is my tribute to those summer afternoons when I was kid.

This is a truly spectacular image. A full scene without looking busy. Since this is not an entry; I will thank you for the links to the items used in creating your image.
You are welcome for the tip on instancing. It does come in very handy doesn't it?
As for your experience with your computer; I can relate. I went from a Dual -core machine running XP 32bit & 3GB memory (OS only used one core) to a Quad core Win 7 64bit with 8GB RAM.

DollyGirl · June 2013

Thanks Krissy and BWSman and a "your welcome" for the links.

I have a quick question - back in May Silver gave away, for a very limited time, a V4 character - Elita. That character is now for sale at 'osity in their Prime category.
If I wanted to use her, having gotten her during that limited time - would that count as a paid item, or a no count since she's not free anymore?

The character would have to count as paid for since it is being sold It would only be a no count if it was given away for a short time then withdrawn from circulation.

BWSman is correct, this relates to such items that are give-a ways during the holidays that are not available any other time. Items that YOU get for free but others have to pay to get do not fall under the "free" category. Rule #7 really didn't get that far in it's description.

Very sorry about the links! About Antonia, I confused myself about which Antonia I was using, and then I fixed the name but not the link. Thanks for all your work checking all that, and thanks for accepting! Here are the proper links, and I'll go back and fix the entry too.

Well, I haven't missed a Summer Fun since I got Daz Studio, and I'm not about to start now... even if I am pressed for time this month. (Apparently, so is everyone else - we're two-thirds of the way through what is traditionally one of the two busiest Freebie Challenges of the year, and this is only entry #10.) And I can't find a free picnic basket - but that just means revising the concept a bit.

I guess you gave up on finding a swimsuit to fit SP4, but the Tropical Breezes dress is pretty. I was going to direct you to a really nice picnic basket I'd dl'd from ShareCG -- elleque made textures for it, which is how I found it -- but it's no longer there. Rats.

Overly muscular women intimidate me as much as overly muscular men. Eek! O.o

An interesting bunch. Did you do the baby morph yourself, or is that from someplace?

Dana

Tramp Graphics · June 2013

I don't make morphs. It's all dial-spun. I might have started with this morph preset (I'm not 100% sure), but it was definitely still too big for an infant.

Title: "But What About Me?"

No count items: Michael 4, Aiko 3, Arick skin for M4 (got it as a freebie, no longer available), Redeyecat's Antiqued shaders (freebie), barely visible on the clasp of A3's wrap.

Paid Items: Mila for A3 (skin used), M4 Morphs++, Morphus. Morphus and Morphs++ are requirements for the face morph I used on M4; the body is just some manual dialing using Morphs++
