a quick test image i made in max 5 to test the default max GI. also shag hair...

result: shag hair doesnt work with GI. i had to composite this in separate passes. sky light beams effect done in combustion using shine. also added alittle bit of grain, dunno how the jpeg compression will affect it. 40k is a pretty small limit

* note: the small rocks in the foreground suck. i know. the background could also match better with the foregroud plate, with better distance fogging and color desaturation.

hey megaflaizer,
great picture! i like it alot.

u should try to turn on geometry in the shag:hair
dialog box. it might render it that way with GI.
that's how it works with Brazil...

actualy it sorta does, want to make it big nuff for a dual 1600x1200 (i forget the actual resolution) so i can stretch it across my 2 moniters? lol

In XSI you can use the hair in GI, but XSI crashes lots on my craparse computer so Time to get a job!

heh, im stoked on the positive response...

by the rocks sucking, i meant the two small rocks were not textured and look kinda shiny.

the big rock is supposed to be a monolith, shaped and placed there by man. i guess it would make more sense if i added the ufo coming down.

yeah, i saw the windows xp background and it DOES look like that...

thx for all the positive response ppl.

unfortunately, due to the shag hair issues i gave up on this scene, so no ufo beaming down little green guys:airguitar
