i,m not sick of these at all and really do apreceat the hard work and skills involved in makeing these!!!!
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!

i found if computers been on a long time and you start a render it takes longer. if more ray traceing was set that snails it to a stand still. longest render for me was 7-8 days and did not work out how i wanted.
but that picture you did was worth a wait!!!

or if bryce had been open for days and starting a new render slows down for me. now i exit bryce before starting a new one.

i have a feeling ibl enhances things because of colors in the photo used. useing colored lights enhances that again.

no just seeing how colored light inside colored obj compare to real world color palette blending.

 if it had of looked like wash out i would have changed ibl.

no just messing with lighting to try it out. i can count the number of times i have used lights on two hands or less.

had noticed before in reg render useing colored lights enhanced certain colors more then others. and going by this useing diferrent colors has more effects yet.

also the mats have real bumpmaps now as well!!!

what the heck is negative light.
all the lights are inside spheres and the cylinder.
how ever you had hdri set i used it. adding color to lights brings out colors and conteracts wash out. or haveing lights inside colored obj,s in this case both but not nesasarly the same color light in the same color obj.
the first radial light i ever used inside something is in daz bryce  gallery. think 3-4th light i ever used.

here is ibltest2 br6
i used 4 radial lights at default except for color.
one mat is by matcreator the rest are hobbled together by me with help from matcreator.

dpi=dot per inch
so that would be saying 300mm is as long as 70mm

300 dpi will give a finer picture more suitble for printing. 
 thread in commons at daz on dpi some good indo was given. i,m sure there is lots more in google.

and i like your cement mat the way it is.

long render. like that cement wall mat!!

yes definatly video tape it. first place $100,000 that would help you out .

cats can learn to fly!!!

ok i,m posting this so i get notified of the link.

ok i had read over most of the first page and was left wondering. as i saw it was said it was left as a sticky for him to see or some such.  so  thats what left me looking back over and seeing it differently .
thx

so i don,t get why the person is they are peeved with?

all mats use same bumpmap and material settings

useing 1 default radial light inside large sphere.
