Hey everyone, I am busy making a "Gimp" so that I can practice my lip sync and animations with. It's just a simple character, nothing special. I now have to set his bones up and all that stuff. Oh yeah his name is... "The snitch". I will post some poses when I am done skinning and all that stuff. C & C are always appreciated. Thanx user added image

Hey Evox.....Whenever I render I use Mental Ray instead of the Default Software renderer, and that''s how I get the sort of "real" look going. Your lighting is also important, and the way your shadows look also adds to it.
