As you know it can be time consuming. So until I get the "go ahead" and 
some more requirements, I'll not go overboard with it.

Any chance of making them white doves?

It is often a surprise when you realise that your "minds eye" does not 
reflect reality.

We will see. Are you going to make a human figure?

They only thing that stuck out to me was the size of the orb/sphere ... 
as long as I'd be able to find/play with that mesh by itself 
(scale/finish/transform) I'll leave the fine details up to you ... maybe 
the obj file might be better format

Yep that's what I'm shooting for

I'd already downloaded 1st version ... let give that a test drive and 
I'll give you any feedback that I have (if any) that way I'm not having 
to ask for changes later ;-)

Hmmm .. looks like I got a different version that what's in this image, 
but no matter as long as the model is left a <0,0,0> I can position. I 
might be able to overcome the need for more subdivision with a 
light_group on the model ... I like the idea of an orb rather than the 
logo object. I might leave the orb a simple reflective sphere, but maybe 

generally speaking I'm happy with what you've got so far ... maybe tad 
smaller with the orb, but that can be easily tweaked on my end ... and 
on 2nd thought maybe the obj->poseray->povray version would be better 
for me ... I'd like to leave the artist aspects up to you

So you want the other model. (The first one is Vicki 4, that the mesh I 
posted. the second one, with the globe, is Jessi.) The clothes are 
different and are designed for each individual model. If it is Jessi 
that you want I'll upload the PoseRay generated Mesh and material files 
with image maps. I'll upload the clothes meshes separately so that they 
can be changed. Do you want the clothes to be affected by a wind/her 
walking and is so from what direction. Give me the story in your minds eye.

Percentage of current Orb and how heavy? The body pose will change with 
the weight she is carrying and the hand pose with the size of the globe. 
This realy needs to be done in Poser.

That is the way Thomas does it. I import it into Bishop3D which uses its 
own version of the Mesh and Materials. I suspect that it is not as 
optimised as FlyerX's version.

There are always lots of questions. Is she walking or still, In awe of 
the orb, looking at the camera etc.
You would think that it would be easy to say "use your own judgement" 
but it's not. I might have her smoking a holy pipe or scratching her 
nose before she walks out into the square. OK I would not do that but 
the amount of translucency of her dress is open to question. I see her 
being dressed in pure white. (I'll need to change some image maps for that.
