In the Sultan's Harem

-Lana, show your ass for the camera, or else you WILL be flogged. And I mean proper flogged, as in this is a fucking Arabic Harem compound, and you have been bought as a fucking slave. Get it?

-Like... uh... this, sir?

-Good. Hold that pose and let me get a few snapshots from this direction.

-Why are you taking so many pictures, Sir?

-They are for the Sultan. His Highness has not decided which of the new girls are beautiful enough to be tested.

-Tested, Sir?

-We'll come to that later. Now arch your back a bit more.

-Why is this mural of a cat and a woman, Sir? I thought cats were an Egyptian thing, and that portraying humans was not allowed in Islam?

-What? Are you fucking kidding me? Do you want to be flogged? That was cheeky, missy.

-Sorry, Sir.

Lana gets a Lalified twin!

I've posted a couple of test-renders where I used an old Morph I did for DazStudio way back when - before I went over to Carrara. I just used whatever I had handy, in order to work on this idea of using HDRI as backgrounds.
I made two more of those tests that turned out pretty good:

Then I realized I really like this old morph. She's gorgeous!
But... I'd like her to have proper vaginal- and anal geometries and better-than-standard-V4 bending properties, as in I simply NEED her to have Lali's Bits and the other goodies by Erogenesis.
Only... I can't export this model to open in Poser, and I can't load Lali's Bits in DazStudio.
So... I loaded a second V4 with Lali's Bits, and started tweaking until she looked close enough.

Just look at that lovely vulva! 

There will no doubt be a series with these gals. At least the "new" Lana. Something tells me she has an attitude problem, though. Here's how it played out when I started giving her some direction:

Me: Basic slave posture, please.
Lana1: Yes sir. This ok sir?
Lana2: What? Slave posture? Get serious, mister!
Me: Basic slave posture, or there will be trouble.
Lana1: Do as he says, sis.
Lana2: Hey, up yours!

The Photoshoot

Lana was, frankly put, the finest piece of womanhood that Pierre had ever had the pleasure of working with. 

As Mike was preparing himself for the photoshoot, i.e. injecting his cock with some caverject for
stable 4-hour erection, Pierre had Lana pose for some great stills that would go on the video cover.

Mike had no trouble "getting it up", for obvious reasons.

-Owwwww!

-Ok Mike, take it slow. This is her first photoshoot. 

-Is too big. 

-Yes, Lana - this is porn. Smile for the camera now, and stop whimpering. 

-Ok Mike - let's do pussy now. I want some POV shots.
-Oh, man, look at that ass. She's gaping already!
-Owwww. Is too biiig. 

-Seriously Lana, what are you saying? His cock is too big for your pussy?

-Yes. Is pain. Is too big. 

-But you just took it in the ass, and that worked!

-Owwww.. please. I can't. No.

-So your pussy is tighter than your ass? 

-Yes. Pleeeease? Put it in ass. No more pussy. Is too big. 

-Well, you heard the girl Mike. Put her sideways and give her a good reaming. 

-Aw, c'mon boss - you gotta try this pussy, man - fucking driving me crazy. Never felt anything like it. 

-OOOoowwww. 

-Yeah, take it. Take it. 

...

etc.

-Smile, Lana!

-I can't. Is too biiig!    (In addition to her accent, her grammar ain't no good)

-Ok, can you at least try not to look so surprised?

-Surprised? 

-Yes, if you can't smile, then try to look as if it feels good.

-But it's so biiig! 

-Fuck this job. I'm going home. Mike, you just go ahead and fuck her as hard as  you like. 

-No wait. I try smile, ok?

Reality Test 2

Got some constructive criticism and re-rendered my Reality Test with some adjustments of the HDRI-background zoom, positioning of model, materials settings, etc. Turned out nicely, I think. Getting a hang of how Reality 2.5 works, and I'm frankly impressed!

Minor differences between these pictures. Bottom one has better material settings for the thong, and was allowed to render all the way to 700 kS/pixel, whereas the top one only went to about 220 kS/p.
HDRI background has too low resolution, therefore looks jagged at this size/zoom.

Reality 2.5 for DazStudio - testing, testing

Ok, so I've recently purchased two things that I've been really eager to test: Lali's Bits for V4 by Erogenesis and Reality 2.5 for DazStudio by Paolo Ciccone.

Lali's bits are by far the best genital prop for V4, not only because it has a bunch of excellent morphs, but also because it features fixes for how her ass looks when bent-over. Right now I'm working on integrating the textures with my favourite V4 textures in a fashion that looks realistic. From there, I'll go on to rebuild my V4 characters from scratch to work with DazStudio.

Why leave Carrara, you might ask? Well, because I've tried Reality 2.5 and rendering with LuxRender. It has some bloody BRILLIANT features that are lacking in Carrara's rendering engine, but mostly the ability to adjust lighting on-the-fly and getting an instant preview is what interests me. So much so that I am willing to abandon some of Carrara's many excellent features, like the built-in modeller.

Anyway. Here's a test render I cranked out. V4 with Lana Elite textures. Lit by only HDRI-IBL with a light-probe that comes with Reality 2.5, and a simple mesh-light for some nice highlights in her eyes. Gorgeous, isn't she. But perhaps I made her eyes a bit too large. Mosly, I do that so nobody will mistake her for a real person.

As usual, please let me know what you think, ok?
