      Cool! Though I'd love to see a great reflection in the ball. Anyone got a good x-mas hdri?...

                  Mate I didn't know what I was going to see when opening this thread!

                  "Blue Balls" obviously doesn't have the same meaning as here is OZ!

                              that is really terrific Eric. Because of renders like this and seeing what wizards like you were doing in Boulder with it (Pete et al) , I am getting Thea render for Christmas. 😍

                              side note. . .isn't it interesting how many hits a thread will get if it has the word B*lls in it! πŸ’š

                                Eric, so well done as always πŸ˜„ I really need to jump into Thea Render and start having some fun. At the moment I'm designing some Polynesian themed kiosks and the Fur plugin is doing such a nice job in creating thatch, I'm really loving that plugin πŸ˜„

                                        Nice rendering Pete. You sure do have a lot of balls. Mine are 3'-9" in diameter however. How big are your balls?
