Is the image we post final?

Yes final images only should be submitted - if you wish to discuss the process, use the forum's work in progress forums. |

No. Use the work in progress forum. |

Thanks simon for your help
it's my first time to know that i can plug ambient to the color channel of material and used the ambient as color. can you explain me why to do this? but i want also to know what is mental ray setup to render? I render it out, but there're so many gray spot thanks |

another question
i have setup low polygon modeling i want to render out as subdiv without manual change everything to subdiv, because the scene kind of heavy, is it possible to convert the low poly to subdiv or more smooth version during rendering? is that something that I have to do for the tessalation? |

I render it out, but there're so many gray spot thanks on the occlusion shader up the samples a bit (like 32 or 64) and for ya render settings to something like production. as i said there are many ways to do it...im just saying this way cause its easy to set up... |

Respectfully and sans sarcasm. Is there some reason my question has been ignored?

Well as you say I think the words about overlapping are mainly destinate to 3D participants, just to prevent geometry intersection....otherwise trees without leaves overlapping will be reeeeeally strange ![]() |

I understand that for the most part you are speaking to 3D artists as evidenced by the terms and language used to convey the various concepts.

I understand that the reference to intersections could be directed at 3D artists, admonishing them to avoid interpenetrating geometry, but no overlaps is confusing. Your example images of the leaves have some beautiful overlapping going on. I would like to fully understand this before spending too much time on the gazillion leaves I have planned for my image.
![]() I think what is meant by avoiding overlaps (…or too obvious regularities) is to avoid that ‘rubber-stamped’ pattern repeat that looks so obvious and bad. Remember that Yerka painted everything individually. All of the elements are unique but follow strict stylistic regularity. As far as intersection–you want to avoid the accidental or careless intersection of leaf mesh. A leaf should be either in front or behind another, not slicing through each other. —that's my take on it. __________________

Mucus and Quadart- Thank you for responding. I felt like that was the case but I did not want to put a ton of work into something that would ultimately be wrong just because I didn't take the time to ask for clarity. I appreciate the reassurance.
btw- I am a 2D artist and will be painting every element individually just as Yerka does. Thanks again. ![]() |

some consideration
please i wnat to know all know that a 3d work is more difficult that 2d im a 3d and i will do all my work in 3d , but how will be judging the fact between 2d and 3d? because the two are diferent , os i put an example are two images to the first prize one is 2d and the other 3d , how this wil be considered , if the two images are good and the two images has good ideas , , how this two can compite together thats a difficult choice are they?
in gnomonology page this theeme ae very discuted becuase lal people of 3d complain about that , hat mos be apart not together , one thing is vedient from another |
