All I have to say is that I know the feeling you have portrayed. I like the wires a lot, think they are damn good. I also liked the hands holding the guy into the chair at the shoulder. And the leather texture on the arm rests is pretty phenominal. Great concept. I think the only criticism I would have is that the guy looks happy to be in this position and if you were wanting to illustrate a feeling of desperation or despair, I would attempt to show it in the expression on the guy's face. Otherwise, I think the rendering is great as it is. bulldawg66

How about a graphics editing feature to convert rendered files from one format to another without having to utilize Photoshop? Just a thought.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I really enjoyed being able to use my digital camera and looking around to see what might make good textures. This was quite a bit of fun since my other hobby is photography. This challenge gave me a much needed opportunity to work on both hobbies at the same time. Now all I need to do is work on my abilities to make people and I'll be all set LOL.

So Bryce would work this way whether it was the intersection of flat surfaces or 3D surfaces? The dominos themselves are flattened cubes with spheres used to hollow out the dots. I was attempting to recreate on the screen the dominos which I actually use in that the dots are carved out of the surface of the domino and not painted on. Perhaps I should just go back and recreate them as a flat surface placed on top of the flattened cube? I feel that I would lose the depth of the object but it might solve the rendering problem in Bryce. Either that or just wait until I am able to recreate such a thing using LW. Whatever I decide, I think this one little project which appeared to be simple is worth coming back to in the future. Thanks for the help.

The point isn't that it is Anton's responsibility to insure that his work doesn't get stolen, but rather that if it keeps happening then maybe he might try to find some other way to distrubute his product that might make it a bit harder to steal. Using your example...if my car was broken into on the street in front of my house...I might start parking it in my garage. It isn't a fool proof system but it does make things a bit more difficult. Maybe find some way to embed his name or logo in the design of the mesh. I don't know, just an idea. And as far as having work stolen, I have had "stuff" stolen...I'm a writer by trade so believe me, I know what it is to work one's butt off just to have somebody else gain from it financially.

I'm not all sure how some of this stuff works...but if it is in the "FreeStuff" gallery, isn't it for anybody to do with as they please as long as it isn't for financial gain? And if they change it enough then it is their image to do with as they see fit? I don't claim to be a super genius, but if it is from a "Marketplace" and this situation keeps happening, might you want to consider finding some other way to distribute your products? Just a thought. I thought everyone here was supposed to be a little more open minded and a little less petty than the rest of the world.
