microphone render

My render of microphone was accepted into cgsociety gallery.

For me that is a huge accomplishment because it means my dedication to learning 3d the past 5 years is paying off.

here is a link.

and any comments are welcome.

Ben I think you have to become a member and make a portfolio. Also your artwork has to be considered good enough by the site administrators who will judge it and if they feel it is good they will allow it. it is not easy to get your work featured on there site, so good luck.

You have to submit the piece for consideration when You upload it. If you already have it uploaded re-do it and before you save check the area where it says submit for consideration in cgsociety gallery. Make sure you read the guidelines because they will reject it if they are not all followed.

Oh, ok. I remember there was a whole lot of options when I uploaded my images originally. And will do. One of my pieces on there I have since updated so will reload it at some point anyway. Thanks for that.

Ive seen your name about on here before, dont think our paths have crossed before though. Congratulations on getting accepted. That must feel pretty good.

Thanks Murambi.

the same use to happen to me. One reason is I use to rush my work back then, I actually unsterstand now how to add those extra details to my models now and how to texture and look at real world objects to see how they react with light which is the key. I also have incresead my knowledge of lighting and added mental ray in to my workflow. I use to be scared of mental ray because I didn't understand how it worked. When I learned when I needed GI and FG and how they actually worked things started clicking. I have to give the company that helped me learn production workflow credit for that, 3D MIRAGE.
