Guardian of Liberty Statue

“The symbol of the citizen soldier, guardian and protector of individual liberty, of family values, and of private property. The symbol of the true libertarian. Guardian of Liberty Statue located at Sentry Forum; a small peninsula overlooking the harbor.”

This was inspired by Ron Paul's run for the presidency of the United States of America and all his supporters, of which I count myself as one of them.

This is one of several posts I will make in the coming days that are photo realistic, or close to it. I composed these in DAZ Studio and rendered them with the unbiased renderer LuxRender with the help of the Reality for DAZ Studio plug-in.

If you want to know how to take full advantage of DAZ Studio and the Reality plug-in, take a look at Make Your Own Reality, it includes over 3+ hours of video tutorials by Paolo Ciccone the creator of the Reality for DAZ Studio plug-in.

This render took about 45 hours on my one rig, quad-core, 8-gigabytes, it is big at 2992×2338 for use on Zazzle products to sell, such as the iPad case below:

I redid this scene and rendered it with DAZ Studio instead of with Reality for DAZ Studio. It allowed me the use of more models to use in the scene. The new scene is located at Guardian Of Liberty Statue 2.
