Hello all,
I've been a member for some time now, quietly lurking about the forums in an effort to learn as much as I can. Well, at least enough to be able to create the project that I have in my head and get to a point where I can start asking questions that will actually make sense lol. My endeavor is to make an animated short film involving a character who goes flying through various worlds. I won't bore you with more details but I thought I would finally post a few of my test renders and other projects I've done along the long road of learning just to see if I'm on the right track or if I need to go back to the "books"
I've most recently been playing with the use of image maps, not just for texture but as masks as well. This render is a world that seems to be getting a little too close to its star. Its still a work in progress and I am more than open for suggestions and tips.
