Congrats Marian!!!

dale

Yes Marian, congratulations.
You will really enjoy Thea

Marian

Thank you very much guys.
I can't believe I actually won something like this.
I'm looking forward to give Thea a try. That'll probably happen next week, I can't wait.

It was a luck thing. No ability or talent was requiered, just the dumb luck to have your name drawn from a list.

Oh, I thought it was a render competition.

Looking forward to see that Spaceship rendered once you both decide to build different things

Thank you Gaieus.

First render using Thea.

iichiversii

That looks fantastic, how long did it take Marian?

Marian

It's not that fantastic...I need to learn how to get better renders.
It's was about 20 minutes of render time and 15 of setup time.

iichiversii

I like the reflections, and it didn't take that long

Marian

If I had let it render for 40 minute or an hour it would have looked better, but it was just a test. I'm now looking at the tutorials.

Pretty damn fine start Marian.
The Thea forum is really responsive, one of the things I love about this software.
Kepp it up

Thanks, it's nothing much. I'll see if I'll be more than a lurker there. There are some pretty good artists there.

Marian

Btw, is there a way to shorten the render time by lowering the quality and not have these artifacts? Even on long renders they don't disappear completely.

Rich O Brien

Change to biased under Render > Presets....

Then render your image in the Darkroom.
