The Pi Man's Personal August Pro Bundle Image Challenge
I am personally experimenting on a lot of things at once with this project, but the end result for the Daz Studio Gallery and Forum is:
) each day I will render a character, with an outfit, with the hair, and a pose from a pro bundle [ generations 2 - 8 eligible ]
) I will add that character to a theme appropriate rendered scene [ typically off center and with a lot of background that can be covered with text as these will be powerpoint slides later ]
) Most will be rendered in Iray ... but 3Delight, Reality4.2, and ToonyCam renders are possible.
) I will add that image each day for the month of august for comments and discussion [ assuming we do not have an electrical outage preventing upload - it does happen here ].

This is not from a pro bundle, but it serves as an example of the type of image to expect. August Gallery

Thank you very much ... but I must admit that while I do like the stylized look, the style developed more for functionality than by artistic merit due to the requirements of powerpoint presentations.
Well, regardless of how you came to it, it's a neat style! And I really like the one of Edie, that background looks amazing!

Well ... we are half-way through the month and here are some random thoughts from my experiment so far:
) I am more reality based - so a lot of pro bundles do not appeal to me directly - however, in trying to play with fantasy themes, I can see how the other pro bundles appeal to other people
) while the variety of characters, clothing, and hair are generally good - the poses are more difficult. A pose set might fit for one of the outfits, but then the other outfits in the bundle are left hanging or with rather wierd poses that do not match. (Yes, the store has many poses to purchase, but one point of this challenge is to use only what is bundled together).
) As I begin to mix and match multiple characters together in one scene, I find they do not mix well. Different styles, different clothes, etc. They seem to be rather independant of each other most of the time.
) I am enjoying this challenge, and I may keep going when the month is over ... but I would open it up to all bundles ... not just pro bundles.
