WOW ! what a surprise ! Thank you for your votes everyone and thank you to all for the great competition. I personally think that it was a very hard contest to chose only 3 from so many beautiful entries. Congratulations also to PandaPride. Munaza and LotusX. Great work everyone !

Dr Geep, Do you put these tutorials on a web page someplace or do they end up getting lost in the pile of posts? This is way beyond my comprehension at the moment but I might want to learn it further down the track when I have mastered a few basic skills. Just wondering how I would find it again in say 6 months time ? Skyangel

My votes > pstekky 3. (I love the cheeky gremlins and the poses and the lighting and all of it.) MistDragon 2 (A new baby always pulls on the heart strings and the parents are looking at it so adoringly. The whole picture ozzes family and love.) mariademirel 1 (It reminds me of an old fashioned portrait where the people were not supposed to smile)

Hi HaiGan, Great animation ! Are you giving it away for public use or just posted it for comments? Skyangel.

Thanks for the helpful comments and links SamTherapy. I didnt do any rendering at all. I simply exported the picture. When I tried to render it, It kept telling me some material files were missing so I gave up. What is the best way to get a larger image? Do you simply make the document window larger and then save it or do you leave the document window small and render it to a larger size? ernyoka1 I have no idea what firefly is...LOL Herne, I didnt base them on anything. Just Imagination. LawnDartLawnDart, Thank you for the link

Hi Essie, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction toward this forum. I think Ill learn a lot around here. Caulbox, I tried changing the display to 1024x768 but my computer went haywire.. It didnt like that at all and wouldnt display anything for me. It took me 2 hours to figure out how to get it back to normal cause I could no longer access the control panel after I changed the settings... That was a headache...but I learnt how to fix something...LOL Maybe I should go into computer repair business...LOL. Anyway, Im ready to throw my poser out the window. Its frustrating me too much. Still no parameter dials.

Thank you for your replies and info everyone. I have already started looking at the video tutorials.
