A lot of people didn't get Sucker Punch. It's not exactly the terrible movie it was made out to be, but you have to realize that the director is actually trying to make a point. Not perfect, by any means, but part of the problem was the audience was simply expecting something else.
Thanks, Ivy! :)
I like your image, too! She looks ready for anything! :)
Thank you very much for the comment :)
I'm a Big cosplay fan. and you will find a lot of my renders reflect my passion to create fan art for cosplay characters Sucker Punch was a Dark movie for sure. But most cosplay movies are never what the fans expected nor do the movies usually follow the comic series story other than settings. The beauty of being a Daz artist is creating your own interpretation of the characters we are fans of. I though sucker punch was a little hard to follow at first. but once you got into the story more you got the sense of what the directory was convey in this film. I thought the movie was exciting and follow the comics, after all Baby Dolll was a psychopath who was coping with her own reality. .
...yes but are the licences legit by Adobe's EULA?
I still remember the issues surrounding the so called "free" CS2 several years ago which turned out to be an error on Adobe's part.

...I've taken photos long before there was digital photo enhancement software. Yeah for those senior HS yearbook/portrait photos or adverts, studios often airbrushed details for a "soft" appearance. That was pretty much the extent of the "postwork" done then. Other effects were handled at the time of shooting using special lenses, filters and lighting which would be analogous to using "in render" effects like HeroFX, AoA's Atmospheric Cameras, or GOBO light gels.
..pretty good match.
Licenses are perfectly legit if the copy is new. No different than had you walked into a store and bought a copy there....ahh but that would mean a "new" price as well which is why I never had PS to begin with.
Is this a new plugin or did you spend a huge amount on Optitex?
Hi! Not sure where to ask, I`ll try here... :)
What defines the size of the metallic flakes? I am using the white car paint preset and in some car sections they look fine, while in others they are way too big. Is it dependant on UVs or something like that?
Is that the reason I am getting stretched reflections on the windows? (not proper UVs). I thought the reflection and flakes look and things like that where the result of the mesh shape only. I am wrong?
Thanks!
Stretched/deformed/nonexistent UVs can cause such problems....
Thank you Kyoto kid :)
Thank you! It`s good to know. I only made UVs for the parts with texture. Guess I`ll have to go back to the model then. ;)
Yes, major improvement. I never imagined. thanks again!
Tiling doesn't work properly, when it isn't UV mapped...so neither does anything that uses a repating pattern of any sort (and metal flakes are a procedurally generated repeating pattern/noise). Also, depending on the item, things like refraction won't work consistently because the 'glass' is more or less one square poly taking up the whole surface...not the 'real' number and shape. So that single square will be bent and twisted to fit the boundaries of the item...not really good for good looking glass.
This seems to still work going by the new posts in the blog. I did it a few years ago and it is direct from Adobe. It is only CS2 though which is really old :)

Scrub that I re-read it and you need a license number, sorry. They did do it for free at one time as I got CS4 that way.
...not wanting to get into that kettle of fish again, there was a thread devoted to it a couple years back which got shut down.
I just signed in to my account and went to Downloads and it is still there but it now says you can only use the serial numbers supplied with the download if you are a past customer who bought CS2, although they will still work. When I got CS4 Adobe were supplying the numbers for free for a short period to anyone who downloaded them, I think that was when they went to the cloud, that has now changed.
No, it's not a new price. CS 6 is old software, so the price is discounted, even for a new copy of CS 6.
Also, (someone please correct me if I'm remembering things wrong, but I do believe) Adobe will transfer license of used software.
I certainly hope so. I recently (last week) had a burgulary and someone stole all my laptops including a Surface Pro2 which I had just upgraded to CS6 solely for the purposes of digital artwork. Fortunately had have the original on disc, but the licensing thing can get a bit dodgy.
What does this pose and expression say to you as far as how this character is feeling? And does the pose strike you as awkward?
Oh man, that's terrible! Hope you get your stuff back.
She's walked into something that got her adrenaline going. The pose looks like she's moving back, away from whatever she found. If this were a cover for a mystery, I'd think she just stumbled onto a the body of a murder victim, possibly gruesome...
Yay! That's just what I was going for. :)I've been meaning to do something like this for a while... hee.
LOL! Nice. :)
....her Win 7 system booted up with Win 10?
Something with no postwork for once! But, so much fiddling wth material settings. Though good news I've saved everything as mapless material presets and can apply them to all my characters.
Huh. She looks like she has Williams Syndrome. (Not intended as an insult!)
Okay, that's really funny. My new computer arrived today and I'm fighting Win 10. I can totally relate to that expression...
