Description I have loved the story of Journey to the West (or Monkey) since I watched Saiyuki  as a child, and I especially enjoy the different spins put on it by the various films, TV series, manga and anime it has inspired (I will not include games as I did not enjoy Enslaved at all).

I decided to create my own reimagining of the characters in a futuristic setting. Also, for my gender bending, I chose Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie (Monkey and Pigsy) to be female, since female Xuanzang (Tripitaka) has been done frequently.

So, because Monkey is usually the star of the story, I have begun with her. I will not go into great detail on this first, simple portrait; suffice to say she is full of (stolen) cybernetics and nanotechnology that make her faster, stronger and (in her opinion) better than those around her. Yes, her armour is quite skimpy. Why would she need more protection when she is so obviously superior to her enemies?

I hope you like her. This picture is an early birthday present for fmralchemist . Happy Birthday, mate!

I am well, thank you. I hope things are good with you, too. It is a pleasure to hear from you! I hope you will be able to get online more in the New Year. In the meantime, have a very happy holiday! X

It's really a great work, I like very much the metal effect and the armor design
So in the end Reality is worth? I had not heard good things about the new version, but it seems to me that it works very well

Euskelo In reply to Virtan [2014-12-20 18:05:17 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, my friend!

Reality does have a few bugs, but overall I am finding it very satisfactory. I really like LuxRender, and I would not be able to use it without Reality. Google helps me a lot with learning how to work around the bugs and figure out how to use the features!

Virtan In reply to Euskelo [2014-12-21 14:41:18 +0000 UTC]

I buy it some time ago but in the end I find it's not so useful for my rendering, I'm not so patient to wait the finished result

Euskelo In reply to Virtan [2014-12-21 15:18:39 +0000 UTC]

It is a mixed blessing: on the one hand, it shows a 'preview' faster than 3Delight generally can, and I quickly see how the lighting is and so on. On the other hand, as you say, it takes hours and hours to finish the render. I think I left this one around 30 hours.

Virtan In reply to Euskelo [2014-12-22 06:39:40 +0000 UTC]

I guess it's a matter of habit, I have tried to use it but I realized that it really is too cumbersome for me. On the other hand DAZ has an annoying bug when it renders the deep shadow, forcing me to use raytraced, so I do not know which of the two creates more problems for me .. In the end probably I will start to use the Reality, for lack of alternatives: D

Euskelo In reply to Virtan [2014-12-22 09:32:07 +0000 UTC]

I just like the added realism offered by Lux, largely in terms of lighting. It seems to me that my Lux renders are also more vivid than the 3Delight ones.

That said, the time it takes to render is a real drag!

We can share experiences if you do use Reality. Perhaps I can offer some suggestions, if you run into the same problems I have had, and you will also probably be able to answer some of my questions!

Unfortunately I do a few drawings, the next but I could try to render it with the Reality, let's see what comes out

Ok, I will work hard to get a good job even though I do not know when I can post it. The only time I used the Reality I let it work only half an hour :D
Meanwhile, as the holidays approach, I wish you the best for the coming year and of course a Happy Christmas. Thanks for your support and for your friendship

She really can wear that armour with dignity, that's for sure Cool character, and I really love how nice metal looks when you render it in Lux Great work!

Thank you, Sweetie! This pic is not the perfect Lux render, but hopefully OK for my first attempt (which is to say Render #122, but the first one I thought was all right to share).

Dunderhonung In reply to Euskelo [2014-12-20 16:34:24 +0000 UTC]

It's your first attempt? I tried to do a second render of the remake of Chris Killer, but it turned out crap. Back to 3Delight for third attempt

Euskelo In reply to Dunderhonung [2014-12-20 16:43:08 +0000 UTC]

Aw. I had plenty of really bad renders before I reached this one. This is far from perfect, but I really wanted to share something. I hope 3Delight behaves for you. X

Dunderhonung In reply to Euskelo [2014-12-20 17:39:26 +0000 UTC]

3Delight will have to behave, or else

I think you made a really good job with Lux, Michael loves that render engine.

Euskelo In reply to Dunderhonung [2014-12-20 17:42:47 +0000 UTC]

I can imagine! We both like realism, and Lux offers that (if you can learn to get on with it, and I am trying hard).

Thank you! It is very over the top. I tried a few different looks, but Sun Wukong is such a bold character (and famous for his gold armour), so this worked best for me.
