Well, I got curious as to how hard/easy this 3D rendering malarky is. Downloaded Daz, did the tutorial, then did this. Frankly, I'm amazed I managed anything this good. I'm sure its more by luck than judgment.
The controls and settings are daunting, as is the cost of all the content. 
Unsure at this point if I'll persevere. Certainly, appreciate the skill of all those I follow now. But the idea of illustrating my own stories is certainly now on hold.
