first mental ray render
 

here is my first mental ray render. im pretty proudof it. c & c please

um... its a ball...

How can we CnC a ball?

its not the ball its the realism of the ball lol.

lol remember its my FIRST 1 done so i like it lol

here is a brighter version

ive never really seen a ball with such a perfect shadow line.....

thank u lol i guess

i meant.. you dont generally see such a defined shadow in real lif. you might want to soften it up...

now that i dont kno how to do

that ain't the shadow... that's the reflection... so nothing wrong there

lo i didnt think it was a shadow

here is another thing iv done

I like the ball better for getting the hang of optimising renders better..
Though maybe a squar in there also to add something better to test difrent aspects though. A difrent color also.

although the reflection is good.. it would be nice to be able to make the reflection blur some.

maybe closer in on the subject a bit would be cool also.
sometimes.

ok ill give u a closer view. when is the next competion and what is it on
