True moogal

And it did reasonably well.

Problem I found with it was trying to anything worthwhile.

That didn't turn into a mess.  Plus some of its features didn't

work to a very good degree. That was acceptable.

Thanks RorrKonn

I do have Blender already. Just that when I came across this thought I would check it out and ask the question. as I had not seen it before.

Loaded the v4 head into it easily.

and straight forward and basic to manipulate.

I downloaded easily and the virus checker didn't have an issue.

Got it running without any probs on my 32bit vista. Will play around with it tonight.

And see how it goes.

Hi GeneralNutt

Yep in the HSV node I changed the value to 6.

rnning a test on it now.

Sorry about the short reply guys.

was out trying to write it on the bloodey new iphone4s. All thumbs when it comes to texting.

Its is from sIBL site. I was looking for some good night skies.

So using the .jpg I know I set my correction to 2.2 but as the .hdr from what I can tell so far does not not have the full range in it (unless I'm reading wrong) as to me 6.5 MB is about a quarter or less of all my other hdr files in size. Should I set my correction to 1. Which I do for my others. This I dont play around whith much. As reading many or your posts BB (actually miss way more than I get to read). So am not overly sure what effects would be caused by using say 1.1 or 1.3 etc. I could be way out in my thinking but if the file doesn't have the full range in it. Would adjusting the  gamma by .1 0r .2 compensate.  My apologies if this has been covered before.

Thanks bb and millighost 

Thanks Snarly, downloaded....

Thanks BB a bit there for me to take in an try etc. Will have to check out the image I got as you stated above. All I remember from it was that it was close to 19Mb. And claimed to be a true hdr image. But am hoping to learn morer about them so I can spot the diffs etc and use them to best effect.

Thanks hborre.

The gc was turned off in the render settings and was set as you said in vss.

I set the idl in the render serttings at about 4 still getting to grips with it. There were no ibl in that image just my main light set as infinite. Will be home tomorrow night so can screen snap the serttings I used and what the previous render looked like before the sphere was put into play.

Sorry about not giving the warning. My bad.

Anyway the image was done pp2010. I know the eyes look crosseyed in it a bit, that is not a concern at present. What I was looking at was when I first loaded the sphere and image and rendered I had 3 lights in the scene an ibl and 2 infintie. The eyes then reflected very well. But the rest of the image was lit up like a christmas tree. with highlights in all the wrong places. Like in the arm pits. Cutting the lights back to one and just using the hdri image. I got the result you saw much better on the skin but lost everything on the eyes. I tried ajusting the reflectivity and even plugged a gloss node I think into it. Am away working and stuck on my lappy at the moment so cant be certain as I dont have access to it and plusd Iplayed around with a lot of things to try and make it work. When I get back home will post the earlier renders and node setups etc. Then those like your self with way more knowlege than me in that area may pick my mistakes up. I generally tend to just get into the material room and play around with everything plugging stuff into what ever to see what it does. With out understanding to much about what it is supposed to do. Once in a blue moon it actually works. lol.

Been using your vss a bit and this image in the link has pr3 object and the latest shaders (well latest I have anyway, Havn't had a lot of free time to get on.)  Number 4 I think.

This is the first time I have used the env sphere though with an image I got from a site listed on the page with envsphere. Once I put the sphere into play and removed all bar and infinite light set to about 50%. I lost a bit from the image. Mainly on the eyes. In the reflection. Just wondering if anyone point out the obvious that I cant quite see at the moment.

Thanks

Bendigo here. we got to 1 C the other morning...
