Well, I've been away for some time. More than two years. In the meantime I played around with some DAZ characters. In a way you get quicker results, on the other hand, the DAZ universe is clearly not intended for people who want to create their own stuff. It's meant to sell stuff. Creating your own content is quite painful and not very well documented. But that's not even the problem.
Everything I did lacked something. It turned out to be hard to even get a good idea for a scene to build. It took me two years to realize why. DAZ characters look great in the same way models look great, but there's nothing behind. Real people have a background, they have a personality and, most important, they're not perfect. You can render images with perfect characters without background, but it's impossible to tell a story with them. Some kind of a story is essentially for a scene.
So I returned to Sofia, a never-finished character created with MH to let her tell, what I wrote above.
The car is taken from Blendswap (https://www.blendswap.com/blend/26775).
Some plants were donated by Punkduck.
BTW: Sofia wanted me to ask. Is anyone interested in buying a used car with some minor issues?
