How on earth did you get your torches so realistic? Finkdaddy- (and AA + Surfintiki) My whole piece is a collage of images in Photoshop- no 3D like yours... I just tweak each image to fit the composition- Hence the realistic quality. But I can still show you how I do "post" lighting with PSD- It's a piece of cake actually, and way easier and more controllable than trying to light/glow it in 3D... I think your 3D work is growing by leaps and bounds- Have you started developing your own textures/materials yet? Also, thanks Sam and Ben for your comments! Aloha- Join us next month if you can't this round!
