Well, here’s my first contribution to the Elysiun forums… I thought I’d never do this, although I’ve always wanted to contrib. :slight_smile:

It’s not much, but I am a complete n00b, so give me SOME credit, eh? :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, crits are welcome, although there isn’t much to crit on… :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT - I made the material harder, little less reflective, touched up the light and shadows. :slight_smile:

Peace.

Ahh…yes…some…stuff… >_>

Well, it looks ok, yes the shadows should be softened (don’t ask me how) and engravings would look wicked cool! Well, now that you have the .blend file, you can do as you wish (and tell me how you did it ;p).

Peace.

Dig the material :). Try more sub-d. You can soften the shadows by increaseing the ‘Soft’ setting in the lamp settings.

ah, error. The holy grale was supposedly of wood, but your grale’s bottom edge looks like its made out of thin metal or smth. Make the edge round , woodish. or smth… :smiley:

Then soften the edges of the shadow and it’ll be great. Maybe a drop of Jesus’s blood :slight_smile: Love the material btw

I was about to say the exact same thing. :slight_smile: Mabey you could make it look like gold leaf on wood. Just a thought.
