Tonight, 12/30/08, the Kennedy Center honored Twyla for her contrabutions to modern dance.  Here's the image I posted then...

Nice work!I And a lovely tribute.
nice wall mat.
question.. am i reading lighting and shadows a wee bit wrong here on the flooring? if her arm has a strong shadow on her body..where is the shadows on the floor? or maybe the viral fever i'm going thru is making me a bit strange.. (trust me..two days surviving only on coconut water..and you become strange..)

i thikn the ambience was probably high on the textures in the scene, and i think a lightdome was used?

btw, coconut water! :D i love that stuff!

I see the shadow on the floor but its very faint.

The shadows got kinda washed out.  If you look in the mirror, you'll see flouresent fixtures.  Each fixture in the scene was a light source.

Probably could have been done better.

i thought as much.
ok..so the coconut water wasn't making me weird.rayraz..have only that for a few days... no fun..(graduated to soft rice and yogurt..though tried bailey's and chocolate at the stroke of midnite..)

I sure hope you're feeling better, Rosie!  Too much of something (anything) gets pretty old.  A nice, warm curry should do the trick for you!  Happy New Year!

That explains Gilligan's Island... I always wondered why the professor could make a radio out of bark and two coconuts but he couldn't fix a two foot hole in a boat. Maybe it had something to do with being trapped with a movie star and a cute little farm girl.

I've been on solid food about two weeks and I'm still strange. I never touched coconut water. Personally... I blame Bryce. :m_tongue2:

Nukeboy..curry??? please tell that to everyone who demand i eat only bland stuff...give my grumpy tummy a rest..they say.
electroglyph..itry the coconut water..will make renders a bit more faster..wait..wait..i can't believe i said that...blame the weakness.

Please..men..oh  die hard brycers..away from my poor rummbly tumbly tummy.... .i still can't figure out the lighting bit....or have i gotten lights mixed up too? no joke here...

In California, we eat a lot of Mexican inspired foods that typically have a lot of chilis; a good curry is similar in that no germ, bug or virus can survive the onslaught of heat (this is why we have fevers, the body "cooks" the germs!).

If you're going to cook a germ, you might as well enjoy the "medicine."  Of course, this is to say that the next morning there will not be certain dire consequences...

PS Bryce occasionally does some weird things with lights - shadow strength, shadow color, ambience, etc.  My lighting has definitely improved since this image.
