I've just posted my first image to the Renderosity Gallery and would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to Mr.Vince Silune for his expertise and advice, particularly with the light rays, in the production of 'The Drawing Room'.
It's wonderfull to know, even in these days of rank commercialism, that there is a community out there only too willing and very able to help and pass on their knowledge to duffers like me. Please accept my thanks for all the tutorials, objects, materials and such that I couldn't do without.
Cheers Vince, hope you like it.

Very well done! The light rays are wonderful. It would be nice to see it bigger. Vince Silune-doesn't he have some beautiful skies for download? Arleen

Thank you for your most encouraging comments Arleen, Vince
certainly has an entertaining web site at the following:

Well worth a visit and was the instigation for my curiosity as to how he did so many 'effects'!. Just an email asking for a little advice has provided invaluable advice and guidance. I have now lined up a list of must do's - snow effects, fire, environment reflection, depth of field, soft shadows etc., etc., Combine that lot AND I would HAVE a picture!

I haven't see yet your entry, but I'll go for it. Vincent is one hell of an artist and a wonderful guy!

Thanks Dennis, I'm gonna go check out his site. Arleen
