Alita Battle Angel - made using Genesis 8 Female in Carrara via MistyCarrara's Veronica Wr8th freebie (G8F for Carrara preset), Syph for Genesis 8 Female and Silent City. I tweaked Alita's look a bit more to my liking, but the Syph pack is really quite extraordinary - complete with Alita's Berserker Body!!!

Have a Question? Just Ask!

I love to help others as best I can. This is a rather broad topic: CG Filmmaking, so my articles on any particular topic may not answer your specific question.

Most of the questions directed to me are regarding Carrara or How did I do this?

For these sorts of things, post your question at the Carrara Discussion Forum (or another appropriate category) at Daz 3D.com forums, and if I don't see it right away, someone else might. They are such a friendly and helpful bunch! I've learned so much from that forum over the years!

For a more immediate question directed to me, log into those forums and Send me a PM!
