Hi & welcome, Noen

your images look good! :thumbsup: IMO the only thing in need of some tweaking is the light setup. I´d recommend Jeremy Birns book "Digital lighting and rendering" if you don´t already know it.

Very nice, I like the chess board a lot. Like Pit says the lighting could do with a bit of work but yeah, very nice. :)

Were the batteries the first thing you did in cinema? the reason I ask is because that was the first thing I did, I saw a picture on a coverdisc of a magazine and thought it was amazing so I tried to copy it.

oh thank you!

yes, batteries were the first - i did the textures in illustrator

the shotglass w/ caustics i did last night after reading a post
here on the topic - it isnt quite what i had in mind but i thought i would put it up anyways


BTW, about me

i usually browse/read this forum using the public library
computers and save files and articles to my superdisk - i
carry that back home - Acsension Place, transitional housing
for women - to my 400mghz G3 w/ 512megs RAM, 20 gig HD

i am .....hummm..... in my forties and i hope one day to work
in the 3D/graphic design field - its what i love to do

i am a pretty good visual artist too and am self-taught in everything

sorry about the crappy tripod homepage - ill fix it up soon

thanks

welcome aboard, noen!

nice images, maybe you wanna try some different camera-angles on the chess-scene as well to give it more drama to it. (like a shouldershot from the king's view towards the knight, who puts the king in chess...) ;)
great start and amazing work in illustrator with those batterie-textures.. i'm a freehand-kinda-guy, but if i would have to do a texture like these, i would just scan them instead of doing them myself ;)
