      That dragon is not UV-mapped... It would definitely be a challenge just to do that... ๐Ÿ˜‰

      For these, I did a quick one with SketchUV...

          I'm experimenting in recreating still life set-ups taken from real life. Here is one, I've also attached a schematic setting of the scene for those who are interested.

            Thanks for this masimo. Just before you posted it I was thinking about contacting a professional photographer I know to get some tips on studio photography in the real world. Many of the contributors to this thread, including myself, took an easy route, using easily accessible render features without spending a lot if time trying to achieve a more profound studio effect.

            Woukd you mind if i included your schematic and rendering in another article I am writing about basic rendering concepts. I will be glad to credit you your contribution.

            Did you actually use a model like the schematic, and if so, where dud the eye go?

                That's indeed time consuming, but you have a lot more control on the effects and, at the end, indeed a "more profound effect" as you said.

                No problem. Anyway I took the basic set-up from here. It's in italian, but you have a lot of images to look at.

                Yes, what I've posted is the Thea's workspace view from above.

                Sorry, not sure to understand this. You mean where is placed the camera?

                      As far as I know Lightup can't do SSS so I used some liquid material settings instead because the glass didn't look nice. Rendering time 2 minutes 30 seconds. Maybe Adam himself has a trick for making it look more like glass?

                            Rich - is that Blender cycles?

                            Ah, guessing from the animation, I presume it is Blender...

                                      Ok, these are real photos, if you couldn't tell. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I scaled the model down to 2" long and printed it on my little Solidoodle 3D printer. My printer needs some calibration, as you can tell from the stringy bits and uneven layers, but at least the photos can be used as reference for real world lighting conditions.
