I've been slowly going through my RAID and cracking open unfinished projects with the intention of either trashing them or wrapping them up and came up on this one last weekend which was aptly named 'Spacegirl.' I believe it was created in Vue 5 Infinite many years ago, but was rendered at a ridiculously small 800 x 800 px and while the render appeared to have some issues, the overall image was intriguing, so I cracked it open in Vue 6 Infinite and gave it a look. The space girl mesh was pretty jacked looking and a few of the textures were missing, but I persevered and rendered it out as originally setup, though this time at a more respectable 6000 x 6000 px. Sure enough, the mesh was jacked, but nothing a little (or a lot) of Photoshop couldn't fix, so I tore into the render and began overpainting the hell out of her with additional texturing, painted hair details and a little rocket booster fire for some added drama. I painted over the rest of the scene with additional textures and while I was at it and while not perfect, I've gotta say I'm pretty pleased with how she turned out and am glad I didn't toss this one before giving it a second look.

On another note, anyone know where the spacegirl mesh came from? I could have swore I got her from a freebie disc on 3D World or something similar, but after all these years, who knows? Thanks for looking!

**** EDIT: For those wanting to see the original render, I've tossed it up on my server for your viewing pleasure: [link] As stated, the mesh and many of it's textures have some issues, but it will give you a pretty good idea of how much overpainting was done on this one. ****
