Hi,
what du you think of this soccer ball?
The soccer ball was modelled in Wings after a tutorial from this site: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/scorpius/tut-wings-soccer.htm
After importing the model in Blender and creating the grass it was rendered in Blender.
look great !
nice that you have beveled edges !
Love the crack in the black panel… adds to the realism… obviously wasn’t just pulled off a shelf yesterday.
The greyish marks on the white panels… dunno what that is. I’d suggest going with a brown to reddish color for that… if it’s supposed to be dirt.
Overall, awesome job. 
Imp
:o AWESOME! But change the color of the dirt.
Hmm… Me wonders if there´s any way to model a soccerball/golfball in Blender.
Thanks for your comments!
Here is my second try:
very nice! much better angle on the ball as well!
i like the second one much better
a bit of dirt on the bottom of the ball perhaps
(not all over just at the bottom)
and i know its not about the socer ball but perhaps put some mud in the grass
have a skid mark or somthing
dirty up the pitch cause ive never seen grass that clean
but i think it is great
constructive critisism :o
OK, here comes the third version:
The last one looks alot better. Try making the grass around the ball lay down a little instead of going up. Like the ball rolled in. I like the texture of the scene. Looks awsome.
Looks very good! I almost think the ball’s specular highlight is too concentrated in the black patch. I recommend turning the hardness down. Then again I don’t know the lighting conditions.
looks great! the third version is looking good… what kid of grass are u using? it looks somewhat like static particles? theyre all standing strate up, blast some wind throught that patch! and if it is static particles, i recommend dupliverting some mesh grass blades, that way u can have them droop and can can sway them yourself in the modeling…
its turning out nice, maybe now some props? such as a sports cup lying next to the ball on the grass? 
The 4. version:
In this version I added a white line in the grass and tries to bend the grass a little bit. Further I blurred the background with the zblur plugin.
wonderful! now its looking very real! awesome white line addition =D
