Figured that subject line would get your attention (shame on you, you perverts! ).

Well..... She is dancing on a pole.

OK.... No pesky glass bricks blocking the view this time...

the landing strip looks a bit dark/dense, other than that pretty cool and artsy.

Whoah that's a nice way to wake up, and shaven, to boot!

Seriously though, another great image, maybe the post work (if there is post work) has made it a touch too soft (at least for my sorry eyes)...The transparent female figures look great, really like that effect...

Good job! Suggestive.

Michael lol the title was what woke me up this morning, and the rendering too hehe, real nice with some good ol' nudity for a change

Great stuff!

Hehe, skinny dipping
The ends of the poles need a circular wood pattern though.

Great job, as usual. But to my personal feeling the "phantoms" look a bit too dark....why wouldn't try a screen, or soft light blending mode, rather than an overlay?

(...well, maybe i should have waited to have done something at least half as beautiful as his renders, but as always i never shut up, damn'...)

Another image from your 'Headless Series' ......nice Michael.


The dark water looks good, .....I always like that in renders.

Thanks guys!

dutch_designer - I was hoping nobody would notice the mapping on the ends of the logs, but I can't slip anything past you guys!....

Mattia - This is actully the first time I've tried using just the standard overlay in PS. But I kinda liked how it made the greyscale figures on the bottom layer blend in with the shadowing of the waves.

ivox - I'll let you in on a little secret (don't tell anyone). The main reason why I've been doing headless scenes is because there's no transparency/opacity mapping to use for hair. And I really haven't been able to get decent hair using the 3dsMax Hiar/Fur pluggin (converted to polys) without crashing my system. I really hope in the future that MR will be able to render atmospheric effects like Fur/Hair without haveing to convert everything to polys first. But, on the up-side, this has given my work a different flavor that seems to work (I guess)

Thanks again everyone!

.....yeah, it's working ! ......I think it's pretty original .....I don't recall any other artist headless series ........go with it......

it sure did, i waited the whole day with anticipation before reading the thread, am i officially a pervert?

good stuff again michael, only thing, as already mentioned, the poles tops might benefit from a better mapping.

Even though you did show some restraint, you are still a pervert. Unless, of course you are over 40 years old, in which case you can be classified simply as a 'dirty old man" - only slightly better than a perv.

(Did you wait the whole day because of self-restraint, or because you weren't alone a thought someone might catch you???? )

i guess i'll pick the latter, i was at work. plus i thought: "hey you naughty boy, aren't you able to wait till you get home?" and that was good, i proved myself i still have some self control (if i was nothing but a pervert i wouldn't be capable of doing it, would i).
