Olga's Morning Run

Fisherman's Wharf
=============

The morning air was brisk and the small chill kept many people away from the water.  Olga loved this time of the day.  Unlike Walkiria, or better known to Olga as wife and lover, Maia Bonner, who had a portal of energy to call from to increase her size and strength, Olga had to do things the old fashioned way.  She preferred this as it kept her in touch with the City.

Along the Wharf were statues.  The large marble sculptures were of the Heroes who had, time and again, saved numerous lives over and over, as well as keeping the City out of the hands of the overly psychotic Villains who continued to try to usurp it.  As she made her way down the roadway, she came to her favorite statue.    This one was of her wife, Maia.  It was very tall and the likeness was uncanny.  It was always a thrill to run past this statue.  Of course, the others were quite remarkable as well, but just not as wonderful as her wife's....

So why did I make this one?  I was about to buy a great looking running animation from SKAmotion when I hit a snag.  Pay Pal only.  I really wanted that file, too.  Anyway, I remembered that Poser has a Walk Designer.  So I created a path, worked the run animation, and then tested it.  I added a street and tested, added the street lamps and tested, added the bridge and tested, etc., etc., etc.  The story above was just something I wrote off the top of my head as I was posting this.  More than likely not cannon, but I think it works for the image.

The test looks good, but I think it will take me a few days to actually render the 120 frames on my ancient PC (2008 Dell XPS 420).
