To dragontwo2, johnmahatma, and jny008 -- Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed my efforts.

Terrific gimp roasting. I use that Inquisition dungeon often in my bats posers too.
Great lighting emitters and realistic props and atmosphere. Will Burner

I get better results with Iray lighting and rendering, but I had to spend some serious $$$ to get a graphics card to let me see a render that didn't take a full night (or longer!) with Daz's 3Delight!

Oh, what we'll spend on our hobbies . . .

Inspired by JD (doe)-

JD posted some images with a lot of heroines being racked (see first image as one example), and I decided to try to emulate the master.

So here's a few images of the Evil Queen having sent all her maids to the dungeon after several pieces of jewelry came up missing. The executioner has his hands full going from rack to rack and increasing the tension on the hapless maid until someone confesses, and he's shown straining to add one more notch to one racked maiden . . . his mistress, the Queen, is a stern taskmaster . . .

There are a couple more images, but given the limitation of 3 images per post, they'll have to wait until tomorrow. Also, JD is more of an artist than myself and keeps his images significantly darker than I like. My excuse is that the human eye does a much better job of adapting to low light than does 3D art software.

The smells and noise must be amazing!

Not to mention the incredible visuals.

I gotta add my 2 centavos here, JD, though I'm sorry to have to contradict you. But night vision scopes with IR illumination has been obsolete since before the Vietnam War. The problem with IR illumination is that the bad guys can see you with their IR goggles as soon as you flip on your IR source.

You'd be surprised, they still use them in many other armies, probably not US though. The IR source was not usually on the helmets but on the platoon's armored transporter so it could take small arms' fire.

Starting in Vietnam, the US developed image intensifier capability that intensified available light by the use of fiber optics and electronic amplification of detected light. Thus, our stuff was entirely passive and couldn't be detected by the bad guys. I remember looking through the first night vision scopes back in 1970. They were pretty grainy back then, but we LOVED them! The VC/NVA couldn't sneak up on us like they used to! I also worked on the Army's Land Warrior program from several decades ago -- the images had gotten much better since 1970 but were still completely passive. They're even better today, since we've managed to combine intensification of both available light and IR (no IR source, of course!) as well as image recognition. Great stuff! Makes me wish I was still working!

The passive ones (we call them thermal, hence my caveat in the post) were rather bad at distance unless it was really cold out there.

Anyway, matters little, as the eye doesn't have that elevated noise level of the thermals, we amplify the sources of light and leave dark where light is missing entirely. That was the point of the discution, if anyone remember. I don't know about you but in the dark, with the irises fully opened I don't see that high level of light. I see the dark as background and bright sources of light where light exists.

This was a fascinating discussion. Not only the computer software discussion, but the Night Vision stuff.
My brain doesn't really keep up with advancements in the military (even tho I'm a Cold War vet), but I wonder about the latest in IR/Night Vision advancements? The latest I read about was "blankets" to cover the bodys heat signature?

Here is a modded image that may be of interest:

Could be any of a number of themes: inquisition, interrogation, witch, hot implements, torture table, burning, etc.
Though her tanlines do place her firmly in the "modern" era. Imagination people!

I would like to see more like this.

You're right, it definitely is of interest. Lovely work and thanks for sharing.
