Description Ashley was the only daughter of wealthy interstellar tycoon Walter Byron. Her mother having died when Ashley was just a toddler, she was truly a Daddy's Girl. However, things changed when Ashley was 12 years old, as Walter remarried a widow who had a daughter a year older than Ashley. Then the worst thing in Ashley's life happened - her beloved father passed away when she was 14, leaving her alone with her stepmother and stepsister. The stepmother wasted no time in taking over Byron Enterprises and erasing Ashley's name from anything having to do with the company. Now, four years later, Ashely is working an entry-level maintenance position in order to pay the rent, when she should rightfully own the company. Her stepsister dresses in the latest fashions and gloats over Ashley's misfortune at every chance she gets. But Ashely waits humbly, without complaining, fully believing that one day, this will all turn around...

Thanks so much! I love Mythbusters, it's one of 3 shows I'll actually stop what I'm doing to watch a new episode.

Thanks! I'm still working out DOF in Vue, and I didn't like my original results (too blotchy) so I enhanced it in postwork.

Could that be because of the AO setting?

I don't think so. I've had a similar thing happen in DAZ Studio when the pixel samples in the Advanced Render tab were set to 6 or lower. I just haven't found the relevant setting in Vue yet to boost pixel samples.

I like seeing renders with back storys to them, you don't sit there and wonder why the image was created! (I always wanted to do it, but never do!)

Thanks! I often write the back story as I'm in the process of creating the piece. Although I knew this one was going to be a futuristic Cinderella from the start, I wrote the details as I went along.

Thanks! For some reason, I keep writing these "Space Romances" in my head, then I just have to illustrate them!
