Hello all... Well I'm at the min creating a 3D Portfolio but i have no introl page... but I'm having problems with the kind of pictuer to put on it... I tho about something not to over the top but also is nice to view... so where wot i came up with... do u think i can do anything just make it a little better ??? Darkness

I'd lose the shadows :)

A little Lightning behind the text would look neat!!!!

I's a bit dark, I'd change the shadows settings, also bigger the words, and chance the textures on the letters, try to use a light dome for a more appealing result.

Aw heck,........why not go for over the top,.......nothing succeeds like excess.

If you're going for an intro page to a 3D portfolio you should try something that looks like it is completely 3D...I know you did this in Bryce but it LOOKS like it could have been done in an image editor. Of course since all renders ARE 2D anything we do COULD be done in an image editor but go for something like doors down a hallway or some foreground / background stuff...something that feels 3D-ish

Use alight behind the letters so it looks as if there is a light shining thru the letters from the back..ie..there are rays of light coming thru. Change the texture..use a metallic mat. Either lose the shadow or lighten it a great deal. The letters are flat..ie.. too symmetrically based.. curve the word..give it an outward bulge.. the letters on top? too flat..too 2d.

Im with erosiaart on this one so heres what I'd do... render the background render the words render a mask of the words take that into photoshop and open the background on the next layer put the masked words then on a layer between the two (a dupe of the masked words)...crank up the brightness until white.. apply blur (zoom) to that layer..do that to multiple dupes of the brightened layer. It'll make the words look like they glow and the light shines thru. then to push it over the top, I'd put a lensflare at the origin of the zoom blur on a layer over the words :) BT

BT: You forgot the lightning...it's got to have lightning...
