Thanks, gotchas. More middleground stuff, I wanted to add more plants but they render so slowly so I didn't... that was a silly reason! :/ Still mucking around with materials... for this one I wanted to show up the light effects on the ground so I tried to minimise any other textures... oh well. Depth... add darkness, decrease diffusion and ambience. I didn't think of the darkness stuff (thanks!) but I actually upped the diffused and ambient light effect by adding obscuring layers in photoshop... Will try to stop myself in future :) The face is actually from a pic of my friend who I was making this pic for. The face pic is alright, but I think I fudged up the levels too much, hence it looks flat. Will watch for that in the next one cos I wanted to do a better one for her (better likeness) :) LadySilvermage, have you tried downloading the mermaid recently? I only downloaded it last week and it loads great. There was something you had to do... oh yeah, copy the p4 female or something, cos it uses that for the top half?!? (I don't really know what's going on at that level.) Maybe that's what's missing? Thanks for the use of your eyes people! :) ----- AprilsVanity.com
