The truth is out, there, and the ignorant morons were in there. Lydia had a hard stand with her theories about Sucuriju and she wasn't able to convince the coincil of the university to sponsoring a new expedition. But a mysterious sponsor make her an offer she can't refuse....
The newest work of the Sucuriju-series bring us back from the jungle into the cold neon-lightened rooms of the university and first it seemed that all will be over for Lydia. But she weared a special lucky charm that seems really work...
It works!!! Hell! Damn!! F..k!! BEEP!! It really WOOOOORKS!!!!!My computer isn't the latest state of the art, or to be exactly, it is an damn old device, build in early 2005 with only 1MB of RAM.
Not the best equipment to do 3D-works. After DAZ Studio 2.1.1.13 was released, the follow-up release did work on my PC properly, Version 2.2.2.15 runned, and all render-jobs runned damn fast through... Good! But the bad was, that every render came out without shadows... Regardless what render-settings i tried. All was i get was a 1:1 copy of the viewport.. the hell know, why?

After i went back to vers. 2.1.1.13 all worked perfectly again.
And if vers. 2.2.2.15 did not work, the newest version 3.0.1.120 Advanced would surely not work too on my stoneage-computer... I thought.
Okay, DAZ 3D offers DAZ Studio 3 Advanced now for a special price and a new computer was already planned for late 2009, so i bought it to lay it aside until i got my new computer for installing it there later.
Today i thought, why not simply trying it out on my old PC? If it did not work i would simply re-install the old vers. 2.1.1.13.
I tried a test-rendering and thought, i had set the light to Shadow-Buffer-rendering... and started it as a test in 800x600 resolution, only to check out if the shadows work.
And it need about 20 Minutes on my System... Okay, DAZ 2.1 was a little bit faster in Shadow-Buffering, but the result looked very good. The shadows worked and looked even better than in DAZ 2.1.1.13.
First i guessed it was my old computer that slowed down the render-job a little bit... until i checked the settings for the light who was set to cast the shadows:
"Raytracing"!!
Oooops!!
Version 2.1.1.13 needed about one hour to render this test-scene in raytracing!
And now i got it in about 20 minutes!!
I didn't tested all the new features like Dynamic Clothing, Morph-follower, Über-Lights etc. now, but i was damn surprised, what the new DAZ-version pulled out of my old computer. The new render-engines seems to be far better and more stable than the old... and i am happy, that the DAZ-Team take note of older computers during creating the new DAZ-Studio!

Sucuriju - Scream your last breath!
Hmmm... sometimes it is more amusing if there never is a clear explanation. One would then have to wonder if maybe Sucuriju is a more direct descendant of this Titanoboa than other snakes. Or if certain environmental factors in that part of the world still cause some snakes to grow bigger (and hungrier) than snakes normally do. Or if there is no scientific explanation at all and paranormal forces are at work.

Girl = Tasty Food!!!
My Gigalania Prisca was easier because its a pure fantasy-creature. A kind of mix-up of a dragon and a komodo waran. I set the preferences of its behavior, hunting, eating etc. and had not to thought about if its a realistic depiction; because nobody can compare it with a "real" Gigalania in a biology-book
It would be a good idea to make a datasheed of your creature first. Some other smart guy even upgraded my Gigalania Prisca already with more infos at: [link]
Its a very good example for a data-sheed: how the beast use its claws, teeth, senses etc. How much food it needs, what food it prefer (Okay, obvious: damsels... what else??
