Some stuff I've done lately

Ever since getting a new computer late last year, I've been spending more time with DAZ. A new computer really cut down on render times, and has made it easier to get things done, and practice with things like lighting, volumetric light effects and cameras. I've been slowly working on getting more stuff to work with, but I'm still kinda limited in my content, which shows sometimes. So here are some things I've come up with. Thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

    I noticed the floating rocks in the background in that one, so I fixed that and also added a bit of humor with the dragon. And yeah, the guy looks a bit stiff, like an ill posed action figure... :

    This was one of my first tries with the volume light cone:

    Cool renders. I like the soft shadows. Most of my renders have hard shadows. Thanks for posting.

    Thank you. A lot of times, I'll take the easy way with lighting and use UE set to occlusion w soft shadows. But I've been trying to set my own lighting more.

    Thanks! Since the new comp came, I've just been trying to have fun with it - like this one I call "Card Game":
