When I try to get more than 20 characters in a shot it uses more of my comp that it slows down to a crawl and even crashes sometimes so I had them attack in waves. But I tightened the camera angles and it turned out okay.

Those are some nice camera angles. And this is a beautifully rendered scene. I think it was worth it.
BTW: Slow rendering is what you get with DAZ and Poser. :P But iClone can render scenes or even animation in real-time. Version 7 has an improved global illumination system that's more beautiful than ever. It takes 1 to 10 seconds, at most, for a final render. In preview mode, it can do this at upwards of 30 frames per second.
Though, I doubt gorgeous scenes like this would turn out looking as good. (At least, not without the Indigo render plugin.)

Thanks. The camera shots I was talking about is in the fight upcoming scene. I had to slice and dice a bunch of stuff.... heheh.
Thanks for that info on iClone. I briefly checked it out and it looks interesting. I'm going to look into it more.

What chance do 4 organic humanoids with steel blades have against 2 extra large robots with superhuman strength (and a chassis made of some space-age materials), plus two humans, plus a small army of Mag Leung?
Granted, all four are exceptional warriors. And Unity could probably kick some ass. But against impossible odds and armor that their weapons can't penetrate, it seems more like suicide than a battle. They need at least a couple energy weapons just to level the playing field a bit.
Also, back when Unity downloaded that data from the mind machine - BEFORE those two were brainwashed - she had the opportunity to sabotage it so that Tyranos could no longer brainwash people with it. I mean, she KNEW what Tyranos used it for.

Essential was thinking only of herself at that time. The only ones she ever communicated with her entire life was Tyranos and just recently, Signos. She wasn't born with empathy. She had to learn it.
In humans, affective empathy is about half heritable and half learned, whereas cognitive empathy is mostly learned.

The most I can say is that it's a dramatic ending for the chapter.

Since he's a newborn AI, is he thinking like the child that admires his parent or has he hit rebellious teenager yet?
