I like when I'm able to get my renders to look like paintings. Most of the time I'm trying to get rid of the computer generated look.  I was really happy when I was able to create this picture because it didn't have that computer generated look that so many renders have. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?

i'm curious. i don't know quite what you mean by "that computer generated look" with just that image as a counter example. could you elaborate?
