haha, whoa, coool image! Fun shader, though I see some lines on the elephants back…Maybe a bad shadow buffer?
ABout the shader. If your susing color ramps to achieve the fakey SSS, then maybe pull the light color closer to the drak, it gets a little too bunched up on the umbilicle(sp?) cord. Like, bad looking AA or something.
If you got it with nodes, pretty much the same fix.
Also(IMO) I think The pic would maybe feel a little better if you made the space more enclosed…its kind of big and open right now…
On another note, what is this contest exactly. I checked out the page, is there any theme? or an age limit? It dosnt look like it, but Im a little lost
And Id love to enter…
Peace
Drew
EDIT: Jus checked out the rules, crap! Im one year below highschool…
Well, that just ruined my day…
I agree free-ality, thanks!
I do want to close the space up for sure, and I will crank up the samples on the shadow buffer a bit. Thanks!
Wow! you are that young? I started doing 3D when I was about 9. It’s great to see other young’ns doing good graphics!
