thanks Bunyip02, you are on a roll with those wonderous renders - the bear one has terrific atmospeher and thanks for the step by steps - very Valuable as Stezza would say.
Took Luna lander and retxtured it with another spaceships texture no longer available here, used Shader Map 4 to extract a normal map of the new spaceship texture, combined old texture and new texture in shader room using Fenric's layer tool - you can select multiply overlay screen dissolve etc
Better to be sure with your tax !
Nice find in the backyard, would make a great Cubbyhouse !!
With Fenric's layer tool I assume you are referring to the Layer Blending tool, have included a couple of screenshots for those who are unfamiliar with it.
Hello Dart, have you got time to get away from that major project of yours and do a render or two ?
That would be fun! The hardest part for me is finding time from time that keeps me away from my computer! Cartoons and Comics, eh? Certainly not my strength, but sounds very fun! I'll see if I can get something going.

The background is Urban Sprawl rendered in the Carrara Non-Photorealistic render engine. Jack could do amazingly detailed foreground images, but he often left the background sketchy. I wanted a sketchier look.
After loading the background onto a plane, I added the characters, which are Genesis (Hulk), F4 (The Thing), V4, K4, and M3 (the cops). The police car is a Carrara native object. I made the caption, and tweaked a bunch of things in the modeling room.
The Thing is in a classic Jack Kirby pose. Just copying the pose - by itself - was an education.
In the beginning, I wasn't sure that I could get The Thing rock texture to look how I wanted. But the Carrara shader room astounded me. I didn't have to import any maps. The texture is all Carrara. Toon 3 was used for outlines, and GMIC (within Carrara) provided some basic image controls.

Love the composition and colour of this one, great render !

Nice healthy Shrooms, must be a sewage outlet
snitty and shrooms sauce
did another ChickenMan using LoRenzo Super Hero this time ~ the previous one was using Genesis
also used LoRetta.. modeled the gun, tubular bells, chicken head, feet and tail and rubber chicken. Flipped the image in PSE2020
the rooster was from a site that's no longer here.
thanks Bunyip02, you are on a roll with those wonderous renders - the bear one has terrific atmospeher and thanks for the step by steps - very Valuable
as Stezza would say.
classic pose and look on the woman's face Stezza !
Super Chicken is terrificly terrific!
ah yes, it's very valuable as are all his tools
one more panel, i usually do more than I need and then see what fits in a page best to tell the narrative
made the ??? thing with a brush made in pse
sidehot of same scene for variation

Looking forward to any renders you get to do !!!
Hmmm, can't make up my mind if I like the front view more than the side view, looking great so far !
Nice healthy diet for some.....
Chicken Man's on a roll, love how you do all those morphs for Lorenzo !

Great job folks. No time to comment on each yet.
I've been distracted because my desktop has been occupied, and my laptop had some installation issues. I will get something going again soon.
Great poses and cool toon look. Adding an exclamation point in each caption might give it more punch (just a suggestion).
Love the colors and textures on this one. Neat idea. You could write a book. :)
The models and morphs are indeed terrific. "He's everywhere! He's everywhere!"

That's friggin' Awesome UB!
Hope you get those computers sorted and onto some render creation time !
Added - thanks for the feedback !

thanks, yes I dont know, it's whatever other images it sits with - you try and make the viepoints different in each panel
