Jeeves · March 30, 2003, 3:50pm

I started using Blender…yesterday, i think… And this is what I’ve come up with…

It’s a LAMP! Sort of…

First Render
Render with “Pen”

Yeah, I know it’s bad. Insult it all you want… I encourage it!

It’s modeled after the lamp that useta be on my computer stand.

[!] UPDATES [!]

[!] OSA Render [!]
[!] Pencil Crayons on Wood Table (thingy) [!]
[!] Pencil Crayons on Wood Table 2 [!]

hey very good work =D

for some future renders to get them looking even better, maybe add some indirect light, to fake ambient light in the real world, and just to lighten a nice scene up.

Also if you look near the big ‘render’ button you shouyld see a button called ‘OSA’. this will not make renders so jagged, the numbers underneath = how many samples to do, the more samples the better the render, but longer the rendertime.

Very good work for such a short time using blender, i see you to be a great blenderer =D

okay, how come everbodys’ first renders all look so much better than my first one did?

Looks good, keep up the good work!

(dreamsgate wanders off muttering, I must be a slow learner)

Jeeves!!!

So photorealistic! You’re a pro!

Carefull, thats almost too tempting!!! hehe

Well, i have to say that’s better than my first day using blender. Just make the pic a little larger and use the OSA feature on full (16) to smooth out those grainy edges!!!

Good luck with Blender, and i hope you will have as much fun learning as i did!!!

Matt

Blend on, and blend well!!!

Hey, that´s really good for a newbie! Since blender has such a unconventional GUI, it´s really hard in the beginning. Really good, keep it up!

Nice start

Welcome to blender, no tips to add, at the moment, to those already present in the tread

The camera should be a bit to the side rather than straight on, but apart from that it’s great!
That’s about the quality of my pictures and I’ve been using blender for almost 2 years now! :x

Almost anybody who says otherwise is lying :P[/quote]

especially if you’re like me, who used bryce before that, where everything was set up ready to use…

Jeeves · April 2, 2003, 6:51pm

There, in my new(er) updates I started adding to the pencil crayons… Don’t laugh at my eraser… It’s a botched attempt… I also put a plane behind the lamp so you can see the whole thing

shawnsonium · April 2, 2003, 8:31pm

Gumme? HAHAHA!

Jeeves · April 3, 2003, 2:35pm

Yes, gumme… Now, no more making fun of my eraser! Or is it spelled Gomme? Meh, i don’t care… I don’t speak French anyways…

shawnsonium · April 3, 2003, 7:59pm

Didn’t mean to make fun. Just the word “gumme” looks and sounds funny!

bmax · April 3, 2003, 9:03pm

it does!!!
