thatā€™s a really cool image. I especially like your use of colors. itā€™s also refreshing that it is a non-photorealistic rendering. nice job man!

Thanks very much guys! Much appreciated!

I often like to escape from photorealism, as it gives you more freedom of expression, because you donā€™t have to follow the rules of realism. If you visit my site, youā€™ll see that at least 80 percent of my work is NPR or at least semirealistic. I love to use the environment lighting, direct lights and GI of Vray, combined with stylistic modeling and simple texturing. Thereā€™s another advantage: itā€™s fast, which is deadline-friendly! :slight_smile:

About the feeling: yep ā€¦ I havenā€™t done a backup since months now. :roll: Will have to do that real soon again!

Cheerio,

Excellent style Metin. I love it. I especially like the glow from the LCD screen on the table - nice touch.

Out of curiosity what do media do you guys use to backup? Iā€™m considering a DVD+RW (4.7GB per disk). Right now Iā€™m using 700MB CD+R but when one work folder is over 700 megs it get confusing.

yep..my comp crashed last friday and a dll got corrupted so windows couldnā€™t start up againā€¦luckily the IT guys at my firm are pretty good and got me back up and running in about 1 hour - I guess that was a warning from the ā€œpowers to beā€ to back upā€¦hehehe :smile:

yeah, Iā€™m using the same thing - plus we also use tapes for the server back up stuff. DVDs are good they just take a long time to burn and sometimes the are corrupted or canā€™t be read - there are + and - typesā€¦itā€™s kinda confusing, since there is no main type quite yetā€¦

Thanks Brim! Iā€™m thinking about buying a harddisk and installing that in the computer of a good friend. Then Iā€™m going to create a mirror of my harddisk on that one and synchronize it daily with the remote harddisk using my fast ADSL connection. Advantage: no extra harddisks or other backup peripherals over here and if my house burns down to the ground Iā€™ll still have my work at a different location.

Cheers,

Metin

By the way guys, if you like NPR with VRay, check out my topic about the comic backgrounds Iā€™ve created using VRay! Iā€™m going to post it after writing this message.
