I don't think there is a reasonable answer to this question and it's probably not the right place to ask. It's the image sharing section.
Since there is no "cool render"-button in TG (not yet! ;)), you'll get as many different answers as there are people willing to answer.

Image 1 and 2 are good as they are I think. As far as rendering Hannes is of course right.

Even if you just take your images here, to me they look like great cartoon scenes for an animated film. But to me they dont work at all as "photo real". So just in that regard you have two ways to go, photo or animation look. I think if you wanted a really good cartoon look, or even game look, they you did really well!

Regardless of if you got exactly what you wanted, I think these images have a really nice feel to them. And I like that there are some heavy shadows being used. The shadows really add lots of depth, though I think they could be worked on a bit more.

Cheers.

I can't see them in Chrome either. If you click on the icon it takes you to a page that has what looks like maybe Arabic writing. ???

Thank you for the comments
sometimes I wanted to push the limits to get a maximum of the precision
but I find myself limited grrrrr

may be there are some setting to get more quality
but this is true in some raison this is an acceptable result with about 30 to 50 min rendering

by the way
What's the difference between  TIF, BMP and JPEG picture
why in TG we can't save it with Jpeg for example, i think with jpeg we can reduce the size ?



for example after render i save this image with TIF format (size  = 2 Mo )

(http://im52.gulfup.com/QMqjfQ.tif) (http://www.gulfup.com/?jK1Pcv)


but with jpeg format its take only 137 ko

(http://im52.gulfup.com/xXSdR0.jpg) (http://www.gulfup.com/?PEBixR)

and I don't  think there is loss of quality
So why not give directly the Jpeg format in TG ?

Sorry about my questions

Nacer you are linking the pictures in some way to another site that is problematic to see
as it looks in Firefox,Crome and Opera browsers.
Only Explorer(from my side at least) seams to open them right.
Would be nice if you take a look how to link them better for most of us.
Or basically upload them directly here instead of an url.

For example from your last post i can see only 1 picture here in Firefox.

If you save an image directly in an lossy image format like a JPG image you are destroying data in it to get a smaller file size.
So if you are working with images it is always better to use a lossless image format like Tif,PNG etc.
You can then convert it to another format if you want to and will have the original still for later use.

For example if you want to make a video the video codec will compress your images ones more.
So you will get more data loss.
You can use it if you want or have to. But the best is to use lossless images.

I can see all of them in safari. No idea why though.

His renders are getting better and much more complex.

The Badger when you sais : you have two ways to go, photo or animation, you are right
me i prefer the animation, my be iam not patiant ggrrrr

this is my  animation





with one picture its easy to get a movie animation
like this

we can also add some sound effect
