better rendering

hi everyone!
I have a bit of a problem with my rendering…:frowning:
because my render looks more like this http://www.blender.org/cms/New_Render_features.774.0.html last picture with the head ( not that there’s anything wrong with the picture b.t.w.:stuck_out_tongue: ! only that you can still see an unsmooth effect where the model stops) and i want it to look more like this: http://www.blender.org/cms/Changes_since_2_42.771.0.html (picture with the bird-head creature)
sorry if there are already more threads of this, but please help me if you can. already thanks :slight_smile:

They’re done with two completely different things. One is normal maps. The other is the new sculpt mode in RC2. /:stuck_out_tongue:

thanks alot. thats really helping me out here :slight_smile:
