Many thanks guys, much appreciated.

For the metallic figures I used the Maxwell renderer, which is as close as you can get to taking a photograph of your 3D scene so far.

Is it freeware? What version do you use?

Still WIP, but am I on the right track?

Maxwell is a stand-alone high-end renderer you can connect to your favourite 3D package and I believe it costs about $900 these days.

I use Maxwell professionally, so I paid the price, but if you just like to play around with rendering I believe there is a freeware renderer that comes fairly close to the light simulation techniques that are used in Maxwell. Just enter "non-biased renderer" in Google.

Visit Maxwellrender.com for more info and a jaw-dropping image gallery.

An attempt to blend my two passions: 3D graphics and 2D pixel art:

Any of you guys remember "The Oregon Trail"?

Everyone gets their 10 seconds of fame I guess.  :D
I didn't do much of the actual pixel work on this one, I just supervised. It was still a wicked fun project to work on though and it's cool to get a little bit of press  ;)

Just an msPaint doodle, testing out my new Wacom Bamboo   ;D


And this.

Photoshop is hard to use, even WITH a tablet. At least for me.  I'm going to need to do some extensive practice, figuring out custom brushes and sorts.

Thank you too, great to read that the image is convincing. If you really want to buy something that has materialized from my 3D work, I'm happy to invite you to the Sheep Shop.

Nice. I like the highlights. I always love it when people embellish sketches.  :)

I gotta get back into studying arm anatomy, it's so fun to play with proportion and work with all of the muscles involved.
