I basically happened to find this site by chance while I was looking up more info on the show.
My main hobby is 3D art and I post renderings on other websites. I use a program called DAZ Studio with is freely available but comes with limited content. I also use Poser now and then. Lately I have started doing TSCC inspired renderings and I will post them here and in the picture gallery. I have alot of respect for Summer Glau and the character she plays on the series, therefore all the renderings are in spirit of the show and her character Cameron.
On weekends I take my dog for walks, now she happens to be a German Sheppherd so now and then when she barks I tend to look around and try to spot some odd looking dude who has this ominous music following him wherever he goes.
I'm proud to be South African therefore I'd like to share some more info about South Africa for those of you that are interested...

This image was rendered in Daz Studio and took just over a hour to render.
Its contains 24 lights each with its own shadow properties.
Another reason why the image took so long to render is the hair. Because the hair is transmapped it absorbs more processing power to calculate shadows, textures etc.
