TIP: i projected the whale from top, using top material first , in SU . here the result was projected texture to side parts of model ( and needed some retouches) .then exported left view result as 2d . using PS add more details and then re import to su and retextured some parts..(side parts only , where the textures where stretched whit firs texturing). i guess its a good tip for texturing ( easy and poerfull). i hope you try this tip too . waiting for your render.
here is the material

thanks dear solo , and how did you made rhe reflection effect using podium? or its post pro ? what kind of material setting did u used?

i tried wings 3d to make rough models of the whales , then textured and modified using su , finally KT render , and here is the result .

it toke me 136 passes and the current 40 ( 1h 38 min)

another glass test

i did it usin pull/push + line tool + 3 hours of tight work!!!! . so there must be a shortcut that i dont know or something wrong whit me.

i was modeling a harp and had some problem during modeling . does your ruby can help me ? or is there any ruby/solution for this kind of forms ( a tight one)?

here is wider view ( and a bit difference in camera location/fokus point ).

i must thank you and other kt team members , because of good tutorials .

this is another render whit different light setting. it feels like early morning..
DO YOU KNOW , I CALLED IT KT CHURCH BECAUSE WHEN I DO RENDER AND THEN SEE THE REALITY HAT GOSH HAS MADE I RESPECT HIM AND SPRITUALLY WORSHIP . SO KT IS MY CHURCH

thanx . yes it is kerky . i've used sky( cloudy 0.56) + a vertical plane that emmites blue color over the model . i didnt put on kt site because it takes long time to be uploaded on my pc!!!

here is my church , simple and pure
as always i like simple scene , by special lights ,

thanks Solo . i used Abbe (10 i think) . 10 hr of rendering to do no post pro , yes!!!

HI all .here is my latest work , on kt ( model using SU ). I like the KT light simulation ability .10 hr rendering (bi mlt. the ior of glass is false to reach this rainbow effect)

oh Ithil ... your works are improving my sight and overcome my boundries!! great work , thanks

thanks Mike

nice render and idea! question: which render app did u use?

thanks Fbartels for yr tut . as i said i made it using WINGS3D + Sketchup . and i need the face to be curved and holes on it . i tried zorro , looks great . !!! thanks all

i had some problem to model this idea using SU. at last i used wings3d+SU . and today i found "joint pull/push" .amazing tool! . any other su pure (or plugin ) way?

thanx PKast . maybe because I am a painter (kidding) . BTW thanx for your words
