Been mucking around with objects and lighting, only problem I have is the shadow under the monster. infact most of the shadows lol, Any tips?
These two are named defiance...
Good start, indeed. Apart from what TheSavage64 offered, set the Skydome color in the Sky Lab to black. This is a radial in the zenith that casts no shadow and penetrates everything if it is brighter than black. It washes out shadows.
Question, Is an imported tree with almost 178k polygons worth it, do you think. Quick render.
This tree has a nice shape, so I’d see it as a hero object, though I wouldn’t bother with bunch of high poly trees that would serve as a background, I’d prefer to keep precious CPU cycles for something different.
That’s true, but what I meant was that if you were to texture him in “Wood” and call him “Allen” ...
Nicolas Cage doesn’t annoy me, he just can’t act so I just wonder how the hell he got into film in the first place.
On the other hand, Mr Metaball here can act and direct, but he annoys me.
I have never known anyone other than myself that can rabbit like he can (apart from Rashad perhaps)
Dipping my toes into Bryce and Daz again, been away a long time, this is from a tutorial from David - http://youtu.be/4ZkAnTa2qs4 really enjoyed doing it, hoping I can break out of this funk i am in.
Thanks for looking, hope everyone is ok.

hmmm I have discovered Sculptris, something new and fun to learn.. I might need help is there AA for 3D artists?
I believe they do and that this is their twelve steps.
1.We admitted we were powerless over 3D Art - that our lives had become controlled by the time it takes to render
2.Came to believe that a Computer greater than the one we currently own could restore us to sanity.
3.Made a decision to turn our will and our finances over to the care of the Daz web site.
4.Made a searching and fearless purchase inventory of our 3D content collection.
5.Admitted to Daz, to ourselves, and to strangers on the Daz forum the exact nature of our 3D Art.
6.Were entirely ready to have Daz run up our credit cards to their limit.
7.Humbly asked Daz to upgrade Bryce.
8.Made a list of all persons we had shown our art to, and became willing to show them more even when they didn’t ask to see it.
9.Made posts thanking such people for their comments on our art wherever possible, except when they were rude and criticized our work.
10.Continued to take content inventory, and when we found something was missing, promptly bought it.
11.Sought through posts and bug reports to Daz to improve our favorite 3D software, praying only that our render times would improve and our computers would have the power to handle it.
12.Having developed some skills as the result of these steps, we tried to become vendors selling content to new 3D artists, and to spend our profits on an even more powerful computers
I could possibly be wrong, but it’s always been my understanding that the 12 Steps of AA and similar programs were designed to move you away from your addiction, not to pull you further into it…. just sayin’

But Bryceaholics are proud of their addiction, well I am anyway. Perhaps I am in denial and a 12 step program wouldn’t work for me anyway.
