CitizenM
Amazing!
MrGorf
Shockingly good! I don't know how you do it. Can't wait to see the whole thing!

I paint directly on the model in projection mode with DP3D to avoid rescale textures in some bad UV area of the model .. later I used all 4 maps and my new mega quick HDR IBL light for poser, so you see more details as only when using color and bump maps ... the light make here the right illusion ...
anitalee
Awesome!!
alessimarco
Incredible texture!!
gsayers
The beauty of the quick high quality render is that you can experiment a lot more with everything until you get it right. And that you have done very well. Gary
Carlazzo
A high quality product. Excellent.
PsychoNaut
Fantastic. Look at the bumps on him in the second render down, lovely details.
HeavyRay
Any chance the texture itself might be a product (in addition to the HDR lighting..)??? Pretty please (with sugar on it?)
Mec4D
I was not for plan to make any product from that GECKO textures... it is just to kill my free time ... regarding to the hDR light, before you had to change the diffuse to gray, now not more it make it work on all models and products whatever you render in as long it have good textures plus the right rendering setting, it render very fast ..still working on that also ... I want it to be perfect for many moods and situations and interesting..this above is sort of clear and soft studio light

Busy Bee Busy Bee! So Martians are brownish pink, Gecko's have a smiley face and kids can be shot from above as long as as you light them well. Great month this was. I'm wondering what will be up next July :-) great skin, and I like this V4-morph. ***** aRtBee
MysticDaniel

Mec4D

Mec4D

popeslattz
Awesome work (play?)! Your work always amazes. Lighting is one of the most important aspects of 3D, and you do it extremely well.
JSGraphics
Gosh.. I have so much to learn. This is excellent Cath. Reminds me of the frogs. Oh, the memories.
Winterclaw
Wow, that's pretty good.

I love this, and hope he sees the "light of day" in my runtime. I know a certain Irish man who would be tickled pink to have a custom Gecko picture made for him. When we love what we do, the goodness shines through time & again!
