I love telling stories!
Zooming out of my previous scene (A last attempt), we get a different story.
As said before, Silo's Topology Brush was used for the characters clothing.
It is really a great tool. What is still missing however in Silo, is the
possibility to add bones. They are thinking about it, but I am afraid it
will not yet be included in version 2...
Still some props to add here...

Very nice image!
Though I would use higher AA settings to get rid of the
line gaps on the floor.

Sure!! This is still a wip. But that will be remedied! :-)

Nice atmosphere, evocative!
The figures are a bit muscular IMO, too well built.
Just my tuppence worth.

This is a very nice scene. I'm especially drawn to the sailboat.
One thing though -- and I noticed this in the other version -- people
tend to stand with their weight on one foot, causing them to lock
one knee with the other one just slightly bent, and their hands at their
side (unless they are gesturing). It seems that the model's knees are bent
too much and that they aren't leaning enough on one foot. The eaves-
dropper seems to be in mid-stride because its arms are not at its side
(appear to be swinging), yet its feet are both planted firmly on the
ground.
The columns are very dramatic. I like them.

Great image so far. How did you texture the pillars? I've been trying to get
the same effect, but mine doesn't look quite right.

The eavesdropping guy looks like he's in mid step to me. I didn't realize he
was eavesdropping until I considered the title. I might have found him more
interesting if his hands were in different positions, maybe something that
makes him look nervous or cautious.
The rest of the scene is great; definitely work with the AA until you
eliminate all of the thin line artifacts because those can really hurt a
scene IMO. I think the ship texture has a lot of small details which aren't
very visible, and unfortunately it ends up looking like a flat brown color,
especially in the ambient lighting.
Finally, consider varying the color of some of the foreground elements.

I know and I agree :-(
They are the basic Michael3 and I have not yet discovered how to deflate
those guys. I would much prefer to have characters that are more or less
similar to the real world instead of cliché's.

Thank you!
The sail boat is a detailed model, not made by me, but coming from the
Taschen 3D Objects collection. I like it too.

Yes, you are right. This scene was, at the same time, a way for me to learn
to use Daz|Studio, and I just used one of the standard stances provided as a
basis for further work. In itself, I think the stance is correct, but it
does not work in all situation. The case of the eavesdropper is indeed
flagrant, and I shall have to do something about it.

Thank you! In time I shall show more of the temple. It is a gigantic
structure, very well suited for little scenes like this one.

Thank you!
I struggled a long time before coming up with something useful. The basis is
a simplebrick pattern, but I included it in a macro to be able to scale the
elements according to needs. This is the code:
//---- start of code ----
#macro LimeBricks()
#ifndef (BrickSize) #declare BrickSize = <1.6, 0.6, 1.6>; #end
#ifndef (MortarSize) #declare MortarSize = 0.02; #end
texture {
brick
texture { // Mortar
pigment {
color rgb <0.90005, 0.89995, 0.89995>
}
normal {
bozo , 0.5
bump_size -2.0
scale 0.1
}
}
texture { // Limestones
pigment {
agate
agate_turb 1.0
pigment_map {
[0.0 color rgb <0.95, 0.95, 0.95>]
[0.4 color rgb <0.91, 0.91, 0.91>]
[0.8 color rgb <0.94, 0.94, 0.94>]
[1.0 color rgb <0.91, 0.91, 0.91>]
}
scale <30.0, 30.0, 30.0>/10
rotate <-10.0, -15.0, 0.0>
}
normal {
agate , 0.2
agate_turb 1.0
scale <30.0, 30.0, 30.0>/10
rotate <-10.0, -15.0, 0.0>
}
finish {
ambient 0.05
diffuse 0.7
}
scale 0.05
rotate 90.0 * x
}
// BrickAndMortar
rotate -90.0 * x
translate <10, 10, 0>
brick_size BrickSize
mortar MortarSize
scale <1,1,-1>
rotate <90,0,0>
}
#undef BrickSize
#undef MortarSize
#end //of LimeBricks macro
//this is the default texture used in the wall:
#declare TdG_LimestoneBricks = LimeBricks()
//this is the texture for the flagstones on the ground:
#declare BrickSize = <0.1, 1, 0.1>;
#declare MortarSize = 0.003;
#declare TdG_LimestoneFlagstones = LimeBricks()
//this is the texture for the columns:
#declare BrickSize = <100, 10, 100>;
#declare MortarSize = 0.075;
#declare TdG_LimestoneColumns = LimeBricks()
//---- end of code ----

Yes, I agree.

Yes, the artifacts are annoying. I shall have to work on that seriously. The
ship's hull texture is still not really good. I have been struggling with it
for a while now, not getting the uv-mapping right. Still some work to do on
it.
>

Hmm. I have already added some objects that break the uniformity. I may
consider changing the color of the floor too...

I forgot to mention: the texture was originally made in Moray, that is why
you will find: scale <1,1,-1> rotate <90,0,0> somewhere for the use in a
POV-Ray scene.

They would fit into a Hollywood cast :-)
BTW have you considered using AA? (Ducks and runs :-)

LOL. I have considered a sharp knife in fact :-)
Interestingly, Victoria3 can be morphed from anorexia to obesitas, but
Michael3 can't. Now, what does that suggest???

Victoria is educated and knows Latin?
Both work for the P*rn industry?
Oh! I give up. :-}
P.S. I’m glad you got Moray working.

I don't know either, but it is an interesting thought as it tells a lot
about the builders I guess.... :-)

Yep! me too. I always feel very unconfortable when I have to make those
changes to the system. However, it is unavoidable.

For most, a pc is just a tool. In my youth I had a lot to do with
maintaining them. But now it’s just like my car. I look under the bonnet
and check that the engine is still there:-) I do check the oil, tyres anti
virus is up to date etc. but that’s all.

Yes indeed, and a great tool too.
What I don't like is the possibility that meddling in some parts may have
unexpected consequences elsewhere. Indeed, this is much less likely nowadays
than in the past, but still...
