I recently had to flush-n-fill my system (that's tech-speak for "wiped my hard drive and re-installed a fresh copy of Windows), but I haven't yet installed Daz Studio and stuff since then.

I probably will do so soon, as I've been getting some requests to put up more renders. Okay, it was just one request by one person. And it was just a casual inquiry more than a request, but still! Knowing that just one person is interested in seeing more from me is enough to make me do a double-take and desire to get back into rendering.

One of the reasons I have trouble with making more renders is because I can never get my renders to look the way I want them to. I really want something that looks as close to photorealism as possible, but I never can seem to get my renders to look like anything other than that--renders. Maybe if I export the scene after I've gotten it set up to 3DS Max. It's renderer is more powerful, so perhaps I can make my scenes look better in that. We'll see.
