I haven't had much time to play lately, but when I do I'll give this a try. Thanks

That is excellent. I've not been able to get that kind of result from Twilight. Will have to have another go at it. Do you mind showing your lighting setup?

Does the orange dragon have an eyepatch?

edmund · 16 Nov 2009, 20:45

of course

It was an accident that my light bulb size(radius) was at 50.8
I also used a HDR lighting for the sky probe. Oli posted the link to said hdr images a little while ago.
Thanks Oli.

and you did spot my eyepatch... haha

50.8 is millimeter equivalent of 2 inches, the default light size.

edmund · 16 Nov 2009, 21:22

thank god. I was looking at it like "really?" thats what I made the light bulb size.
thanks for clarification

Thanks Dale

Those looked really good, Edmund.

Now, they say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, so I hope Remus doesn't mind my try to achieve a similar look to his blue rubber dragon:

ok, been putting it of, but here is my V-ray attempt.

i used a preset as a guide and made this material, not sure what it is!
its has some mega harsh shadows which i have no idea how to get rid of as i am still learing V-ray.
Rendered in less than 40s which i was mega impressed by!
