Thank you. I guess you can still learn something new every day.

However, Appel's stlye doesn't look quite the same as Chris's random colors:

I had taken "doctrine of complete freedom of colour", "paintings with brilliant color", "experiment"

Another shot with different lighting, testing a wood floor texture i've just made. This is a raw Kerkythea output.

Would certainly make Darth Vader happy!

Couldn't resist Artlantis render + some PS.

But wait, it's a Snowspeeder...
Speed: check
Snow: arg, mission failed.

We've all had a lot of fun with this Lego Model, Want to try another Rendering Challenge?

(I know space ships are more fun - but lets see what we can do with something else)

Bath Room Sink Rendering Challenge

If this catches on, I'll pick something childish next week.

Also, other people could suggest things.

What I had in mind for this was that we would take existing models, and show what we could do to them, A lot of rendering contests run by vendors (us included), are often influenced by a really neat model. It will be interesting to see what we can do if we all start with the same model, and apply different techniques. This is not a contest to see who has the best rendering engine - but rather to see who knows how to use the one they have the best - including SketchUp itself, Photoshop, etc.

It just has to be required that you crazy render people tell us non-render people what you are using to render!! Of course some other vitals would be nice too: render time, biased/unbiased (when it's an option), textured in renderer or in sketchup, etc.

I desperately want to make the plunge, but with so many options, a thread like this gives a good comparison.
