Hiya Chaos guys,

Maybe you like to know that one of my VRay-rendered images has won the 3rd prize in the category Professional/Still - Creatures at the Animago Awards this year.

Thanks guys!

Paul, the lighting is some planar VRay lights to simulate direct light from a window in the room and an indoor HDRI environment image (from the Sachform HDRIbase collection). Furthermore a lot of tweaked GI settings, caustics, glossy reflections, multiple refractions, the whole lot. Oh yeah, and a whole lot of rendertime too, on my P4 2.5 GHz with 1 GB RAM (1280 x 1280 pixels).

Cheers!

Congratulations but the link dosn't work. I went to the site but can't find the artists names. Which one's yours?

I've edited my initial message and the link should work again now. Please let me know if it doesn't again.

My entry is the image called "Unpleasant Company". I've posted it on this board as well, a couple of months ago.

Thanks and cheers,

Metin

Thanks guys! Rendering a few minutes of animation on my PC with the current heavy scene setup would probably enable me to go on a world trip for a couple of months.

Thanks Dave. I really appreciate the kind comments of y'all. I sometimes feel a little guilty posting such news here, because it feels like I want to grow my ego here, while I mainly wanted to inform the Vlado, Peter and Tedi of the prize because they might want to use it for VRay promotion.

Thanks again!

Cheerio,

Metin
