SkunkyArt | phraught — Simulated View - Az's Transmogrification to Human

I neglected to properly collide the hair along the back and sides with the skull prop, because it wasn't ready when I did the first simulations and I thought it wouldn't be an issue so why bother with another day or so of hair simulation since I had it in the bag. Right. So towards the end the side hair flows through the head and face and ruins whatever illusion I may have got away with up to that point.

Poser seems to have a (new?) problem with secondary reflections - some multiply reflected images dance back and forth for no obvious reason

Some props, like the legs of the saucer, are flashing / changing textures in a seemingly random way.

This was supposed to be a 1-2 week learning session for playing with and learning about hair - took a lot longer than that - but I did learn a lot.

And yeah, the latest version of Poser was crashing on my render farm's machines every couple of hundred frames - so two 5,000 frame animations took a long time. (And convinced both of us not to work in POSer any more.)

For some reason, the console and hand scanner textures did not come out in the render farm frames - but did in the few that I did myself (mostly towards the end). Oh well.

Yes, this does get off to a very slow start. There is some stuff going on that was intended to be subtle in 3-D, and winds up being nearly invisible in 2-D. It kind of gets going around 0:25

and then goes on too long.

In both cases, I was too lazy to re-edit the audio to match a shorter version
