Yea, solo . Nice work! Fantastic mastery of textures. You need some wrestlers in the scene now;)
How long have you been using Thea? I thought you used Vray as well?

Excellent work, Sensei

I can hear the click of bamboo shinai on steel face masks. And the smell a lot of sweat.

Great render as ever!

I'd say about two years if not longer, I was involved with the beta from the first beta version.

I did, I never owned Vray (think struggling freelancer) but learned from the trial version and was part of beta testing also,then the beta testing changed and one needed a license to continue which I never had so that was the end of my Vray days.

Excellent render-modelling peter!!!
Always practical solutions, expected from you. A great lesson.

[dale]

FotoSketcher on steroids... or Photoshop without the confusion

Hi Solo!
Very nice renders you have here.
Just have a little doubt about the ground texture in the first picture. I think that, a little less reflection on the wood floor sould improve the ambience.

Jajajaja But it is half part of the fight!
Good idea to make a simple Potosop

[sepo]

Lighting is sublime...like it a lot.

[AdamB]

Beautiful. You really are getting the hang of this modelling thing, aren't you.

Pete, what does Glare actually do? Its a blending function, or a lighting function?

[sepo]

Glare is related to lighting .... but in Thea it is postprocess.

[solo]

Adam,

I guess the best way to describe it would be as a post render lighting effect in Thea, you have two options, first there is the Radial which is very like a bloom effect and the other is the Blade method which is like light flare effect, both are very customisable with parameters to set amount and size.
