what i really miss/lack is basics in postworking. or even render :( Postworking is a very broad term ... can you be more specific in what you are trying to achieve in postwork? As for rendering ... the textures, lighting, and camera all work in concert to achieve the final render. But, I honestly have to say, that of the three, it's the lighting that truly makes the difference in a render. Good lighting really sets the mood of a piece. And bad lighting can make even the BEST textures and models look dull and lifeless. Hone up the lighting skills and you come a long way toward getting the types of renders you desire! There were some lighting tutorials in the old tutorial section, but they seem to have disappeared. Perhaps someone can recommend some. Another way to learn lighting is to download some of the free light sets at RuntimeDNA, and study how they are done. Traveler is a lighting guru (amongst other guru roles he plays. ;-)) >> btw where could i wite to ask if a new communauty/sectin of renderosity could be opened ? (mean for a yet unlisted art software) ?. Probably the Community Center (the first forum listed on the forums page, right at the top) ... I think it's made for stuff like that. 8-)
