Did this many, many months ago.... think it serves as a neat example as how lighting can change the appearance of a scene

[Setekh]

As I used to say back in the days of yore... lighting is everything.

Hotsnoj, the first one is almost invisible

[Turnsky]

yep, lighting is everything..

 
(and yes, there is a reason for the panicked expression on the guy's face  )

i should /really/ update my gallery..

[aldo_14]

To be fair, it doesn't really count if it's not the same image/collection of objects and textures..........point was that the only difference between the pics I posted is the lighting levels and light positions.

what about that:

[HotSnoJ]

Those are the pics I thought I was gonna see when I first opened this thread!

Hotsnoj, the first one is almost invisible

That's that makes it a great desktop background.

First one's the best, Niven

Whoa, haven't seen that Shivan pic before. Way nice.

[HotSnoJ]

I think it was made while you were "away".

*returns to deep thoughts*

[Nico]

I made them while I was at Nantes, so that would be in 2002.

[Corsair]

Mmmmmmmmmmm...Shivans

[Lightspeed]

Those shivans look a bit odd...



I'm unsure if its only from the perspective, but the shivans in that screne look a bit skinny, and the arms are weirdo.

[Nico]

Please note that on yuour pic, you have a shoulder in front of the whole body, which kindda messes up the sense of proportions.
Anyway, I've never claimed mine was perfect, I had to work starting from a few renders like the one above.

[Setekh]

No wonder I haven't seen it. Personally, I think it's an awesome effort, considering the amount of source material you have to work from.
