I have just finished putting on the final effects for my latest creation, and would like for all of you to give me some feedback. Thanks!

Very cute, and good job...Sharen....love the frame

The planets look squashed....other than thatvery nice. I like the frame.

Sorry if the planets appear to be squashed, but they really were created in Bryce, so I don't know what happened. The picture fram was created in Paint Shop Pro 7 and combined with juggler in Photoshop.

I think if you hit the "-" button on the lower right while in wireframe view of the view you're rendering, the image gets slightly distorted, and is most noticeable (to me) with spheres. Try going to your edit view and clicking the "+" button to correct the view, then re-render. You might have to rearrange your juggling man, but all else will be correct.

Camera angle has a lot to do with the planets getting squished, especially as they appear around the fringes of the image. Instead of being up close with wide angle, back off a bit and zoom. This helps. In the camera attributes box there's a FOV value. 60 is the default. Try a lower number. The human eye has about a 55 FOV so 60 is actually slightly wide angle. The actual FOV number that you use to stop the squishing is dependent on how far away the object is from the center line of the camera. Corners in the image vs. center of the image.

Redid image with FOV set at 55. Let me know what you think.

His right leg do not match very well in the hip, by the rest is a nice image!

Obviously that is much better on the squishing. Try it with 50 or 45 and see what happens.
