My only experience with Kinko's was $50 each for 16 x 16 mounted on gatorboard with clear laminate surface.
As for output from SU - render a jpg (best quality setting in the options dialog) as big as you can (max. is 9999 pixels) WITHOUT ANTIALIASING, then import into Pshop and resize down with bicubic resampling. Pshop will do the antialising much better than SU and almost instantaneously (and SU will tend to freeze with AA output above 3000 pixels, not to mention taking forever).
Well im getting kind of bored of waiting, so i'll tell you what the difference is.
The first one is done as a normal mirror is, a piece of glass with shiny metal sprayed ontot the back, and the second one is just a straight shiny surface. Looking at them again after a few dyas, i reckon the first one is beter, but it needs a bit more tweaking, the thickness of the 'glass' needs to come down a bit, i reckon, ad it needs to be a bit more transparent.
I like the first and third one. The third one is the best. I like not seeing the edge of the underlying tin. the morphing strips can become the focal point and the background stays less noticeable but when we see the edge of the larger object then we perceive it as an object and it competes for attention with the squiggly streamers and their shadows.
It scares the crap out of me.... I mean really, I've seen this ghost before, when I was young and hooking a summer night at my then girlfriends granddads disintegrating old house.
This specter appeared just as your so very cool and frightening apparition here -- all plasma, and weird veins popping out.
A bit like that artist Alex Grey... You into that dudes action? I like his paintings a lot, but here is a little video inspired by his work:
I'll ponder this ghost again. Not sue when I shared about seeing this prankster, but thanks for remembering it, and doing such a great job of realizing my recollections.
Hi Shoreline, nice work and I agree with Remus, just tone it
down ever so little as I think the brightness of the render
suits this kind of shop.
BTW, I'm playing with Podium in Parellels and having great fun.
It is a gem of a program to work with and even a total render novice
like me can get half decent results.
Hopefully the Mac version will be available soon to ease the
workflow π
In America, French door used to refer to a pair of fully glazed doors (according to 1974 Architecture Dictionary), whereas nowadays it's used to denote a single door, too. We usually refer to a glazed door without muntins as a full-lite door, though.
