@Muzza123 Thanks for your design! Yes, I can tell how you've incorporated a variation of the same colour scheme. @BRADDERS64 Thanks! It's noteworthy that you have also used texture (the rock cracks) and expression to convey the character type. @dustinbrown Thank you. This article was extremely useful and highlighted some…
If your lights cast shadows setting them up correctly will speed up your render times. 1. Try not to cast shadows using omni lights; they are equivalent to placing 6 spotlights with a 90 degree field of view. 2. If youre rendering a scene with a lot of lights dont try and set them up all at once. Use Tools>Light Lister…

The Photomerge tool in Photoshop is great for normal panoramas, but it cannot stitch fully spherical panoramas. (This will be added in CS4). Don't even spend time on the mirror ball technique, it's a lot of work and the results are not very good. You are very limited by the resolution of your camera, so at best you'll get…
