Happy Easter everybody. <!– s8-) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!– s8-) –>

This one I do like but it is a shame you’ve had to jpeg it to fit on the forum as it has corrupted the quality too much – do you have a higher quality on the web we can have a look at ?

Hey Alan,

When I compressed the image, the bump on the tile was lost alittle. From other angles the highlights were really good for just a plane with a bump_map. The original image was rendered from POV in a bmp. It’s kinda large in size. I could try to zip it and send it to you if you’d like. I render everything from pov on its final render in the biggest resolution I can, I like to poster my pics for display in my office. <!– s:D –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!– s:D –> Just to give you an idea, this image took about 4 hours to render because I have been really playing around with area lights, jitter, and radiosity.( to get soft shadows and an almost ambient lighting effect)With those commands running in the render, my system is VERY slow, but always worth the results.

Hi Blayd, sorry for the delay getting back to you.

Yes please, could you go ahead with the zip or the hi-res picture in a high quality jpeg (90%+) ? I think you have me email – if not then please p.m. me and I will send it to you.

This looks fantastic!…very nice render and POV
