Ok folks. I am seriously immature in the rendering arena. I see all of these FANTASTIC images that have been posted and then look at mine in dismay. Can anyone give me some help on rendering please? Here is my gallery (if you can call it that), if you wouldn't mind taking a look and telling me where I am lacking. I usually just hit final an then render to the desired....and only visible layers. Am I just seeing things differently because they are mine? Please help, Thanks, Akenaton
