Since starting the site I have had many emails from
visitors with lots of great feedback, thanks guys!
This page is an attempt to provide information which I hope you will find useful
Technical
I use the Curious Labs product 'Poser 4' & Poser '6' to create the
pictures. Many artists in 3D use Poser only as a starting point and do the
actual rendering in other packages (such as Vue or Bryce) followed by lots of
post-production work in another graphics application in order to get the picture
to a very high standard. If you want to see the sort of really hi-quality work
that can be achieved this way, check out the link to ULF (Links Page).
For those of you familiar with Poser, I mostly use the
Michael 2.0, Michael 3.0 and David models from DAZ. The vast majority of clothing, hair, textures and
props are a mixture of freebies and commercially bought items from the many Poser sites
around, although many of the textures are of my own creation.
The stories are a mixture of my own work, stuff that friends
have supplied and other stuff I have stumbled across on the web. If you have
written or found a story which you think I might like, please, please let me
know.
I would especially like to hear from anyone who wants to
do their own Poser artwork. I love talking technical - hmm, does that make me a
geek?
Personal
My real name is Dave, I use the pseudonym of Telemachus (ThlemacoV) as I
am a great fan of the Greek Myths. Telemachus himself was the son and heir of Odysseus
(Ulysses), King of Ithaca and inventor of the Trojan Horse.
Although there are numerous references in classical texts to the many
myths concerning the life and adventures of Telemachus, only the account of his
childhood in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey survives. That makes him a seriously mysterious
person.
I was born in the city of Leeds in the north of England but I
have lived here in London ever since graduating. I lived in Frankfurt, Germany
for a time and I have visited the States and other foreign parts several times,
but home is here in the UK.
Website
The website here is all my own work, just your standard HTML
stuff so far. I shall be adding extras like PHP and MySQL stuff later when the site has
grown large enough to warrant it.
The service provider is a very friendly Australian outfit
whom I would be happy to recommend if you want to set up your own site.
Feedback
I want feedback! Now! Immediately!
There is nothing that brightens up my day
more than receiving an email from a visitor to my site. And it's even better if you
have some specific comments - tell me about a story you especially liked or a
picture that 'hit the spot'.
