Thank you very much Mr. Orchidface :D I see what you saying, SouthpawSid. thank you for all suggestions. Normal on rubble pile is fine btw. Just weird. I will see how to make it looks right.
Say that's nice! For a little boost you can do a second path, apply the MR AO material and overlay that onto your original render. You don't want to over do it, but some subtle AO adds a little extra awesome.
Wow! Great work there guys. The saturated colours and stylised characters work really well together. Mr Appleby's trademark tyre acroutrements making an appearance there aswell I see! Any need for any more character artists in the near future?! ;)
I find the stitch and relax tools in the unwrap window to be extremely helpful. There's also an insanely good tool that mr Chadwick showed me once called UVPaint. The downside with that though, is that it requires you to unweld all UVs and make it an editable mesh
omg sonic just tried to lay the smack down on mr. crazybump! kidding aside, i wouldn't be so quick to write off C# as only a tools language. it has its value too in game prototyping, especially combined with XNA.
hey JD nice work. Awesome model. but agree about the hair and the tattoo on the arms fixable also hes got a sharp shape poking out in his left shoulder from the image :P lets smash Mr smo on monday.

Thanks Mr Significant! To answer your question, the emissive rectangles do have lights associated with them, yes. This way it looks like the tubing is emitting light onto the floor and walls. Not sure if there is a way to get that effect without fakign it with lights, but it'd be awesome if there was.
i still dont get it, how to render "sharp" images with mental ray here a example, the Blackparted-roof is software - the rest MR I use the Maps from a simple Foto - converted through crazybump AO included. - its all on a blin shader..
