Your first? Wow! That's amazing! My first wasn't even close to being okay looking! Great job! Could you get some shots of its whole body?

will post a picture asap .... by this evening in the latest.....

tnx.....

Welcome to SM
From what I can see it looks good for a first, try adding some lights and render on another colour oher than black, this should lift it and reveal the details.

sorry if this is stupid question but how do you do that?:headbang:

so the whole thing looks like this............
not sure about the legs thou, but i don t think i have the energy to remodel it (been working on this one since may....)

if you are rendering using a camera you can change the background colour in the attributes panel under environment.

if you are not using a camera add one as you cant change it using the persp view.

hopefully this helps.

Dae

it helped , tnx ....

i think i will have a new picture up by tomorow on white background...

BTW i saw you gallery on the net....

extremely nice....... how do you render?

are you using nurbs, polys, or subdivs in modeling?

tnx again

erathien

glad to help

glad you liked my gallery,
How do I render, to be honest, like everyone else what makes the difference is the light setup and how you use it.

I use nurbs in the early stages of modeling then convert to polys then convert to sub-D's later on.

Dae:)

tnx again...
