Time for my last render of the year. Let's make this one really nice!

I started out with a new character that DAZ gave away for free the other day: Stacia for Victoria 6. She doesn't seem to have a product page any more, so I think she was only around as a freebie.

She's a rather young-looking woman with some really nice makeup options.



I gave her the Corvidae Dress and dropped in the Streets Of The Mediterranean.



I then gave the dress a texture, gave her some hair, moved her into position, set up some lights, and gave it a test render.



Wow, that looks really nice right off the bat! However, the background needs more "stuff".



I added Victoria 5 and Michael 5.



I then morphed them to children.



I then gave them some pirate clothes and dropped in a companion.



I then set them up on the stairs in the background playing with the dog.



I then dropped in another Gen 2 Male and gave him a cart. I guess he's some kind of street vendor.



Every cart needs a horse, so I added one. I then gave it a texture, a pose, and a saddle.



I then moved the horse into position…but I wasn't done yet!



The back tunnel needed just a few more characters.



Finally, I moved some more vines and plant pots into view.



Now that looks great!



I then took my render into Pixelmator and added some light haze and sun beams.


I also penciled in some random hairs along the edges of her head so she wouldn't look like a cardboard cutout.



I then scattered some debris in the air for the light beams to catch for some added realism.



And there you have it! My last render of the year. I think it came out great. It's so bright and sunny. Must be a beautiful day to walk the streets of the city.
