Thats an awesome Odie ! Great work.

Looking REALLY good , this is your 1st attempt you say?! yes perhaps another layer on top would fill it out a bit more. keep up the great work. Happy Rendering, Jeff

I like it , very groovie composition. The right guy,his leg is showing through his pants in one small spot you can post work that out easy. an idea fro a prop: a picture on the empty wall with "The Scream" by Edvard Munch in the shot now : ) perhaps some more dynamic/dramatic lighting. great work , looking foward to the final. Happy Rendering, Jeff

looking very good! i too am interested on your technique oohh yes and as for color please dont forget red : ) Happy rendering, Jeff

Great idea Ron but... i think you forgot our newest addition. lol, how could you forget Steph !

This is great , thank you very much!

Thank you very much ! fine work ! Many many heart felt thanks for this wonderfull work ! did i mention a BIG thank you ! Happy Rendering, Jeff

hehe my 1st reaction is WOW too ... well all the other good words have been used. ok ive got one Druel fuel ! : ) Magnificent work, obivousily a labor of love.

Well I am working on a hairy Michael skinpack I use photoshop mostly ,and painter. I make hair swatches in painter at 640x480 multi layered psd's then use the swatches to make ps patterns and use those to apply "hair" to a 4000x4000 skin. This works great for legs and arms. If you have painter and a good mouse or tablet you could also hand brush the hair on your base skin to you liking using a round camelhair , and a smaear round I've had great results, great technique for chest hair. hi resolution is the key to getting hair to look remotly right, make the base skin wor work at 4000x4000. you can down size it later if you feel the need 2. but any program like Lview or Irfanview can compress jpegs really tight. much tighter than PS or Painter. hope this helps a bit.. Happy Renderings, Jeff

I too must offer up a heart felt THANK YOU DAZ. Happy Rendering! Jeff

Big congrats Geep !

Jeff

just one word , WOW ! excellent work i must say its a shame you cant go with the original. I like the mod'd one wicked blades and the bone spines are a really nice touch. excellect eye for detail the etching on the blade is nice. I would just recommend a new texture tor the leather grip and mute the leathers highlight so as to not liik like pleather. why not put a "magic jewl" at the handle base , something blood red perhaps. just a thought : ) happy rendering, jeff

I dont need no stinking backusp ! LOL just joking, I am the "you need to back your data up"posterchild ! One of my 100gb hard drives took a dump on me last weekend and i lost alot of data ,all my projects i was working on for community release. I am just now able to talk about it without and major emotional eruption. Tape backup is DEAD , long live the CD. CD are the best way to go , cheap and easy but small in size.By far the most cost effective solution at the moment. A back up HD WILL eventually fail its in their nature. Perhaps a really short term solution at best. Bleeding edge DVD burners are at the moment really expensive and the standard was JUST now agreed upon my the powers that be. large media and costly all together at the moment, but that will change... How else are we going to be able to backup out 100+ gb harddrives. I mean really we are aproaching the 200gb retail HD and DVD can only handle like 4.7gb. They are working on larger capacity DVD media but thats a ways off still. Well its back to the drawing board for me May all your data be safe and happy rendering, Jeff

Big congrats to yall for a well deserved honor ! Jeff

lol its missing a poser figure in the rendered image to show off its grand scale. Very impressive in scale and design. Fine work indeed. Jeff
