looking for a good bar (model)

[Ernest Burden III]

Here's a WIP showing how the bottles are used. By now none of you probably care, but I will post finished renderings late tomorrow.

I'm still waiting for the explanation of why you call yourself 'white witch'....its too interesting to have you NOT explain.

 

I didn't say bad lighting was good for NPR images, I said (or meant) that the way I have been doing them laterly makes some problems with lighting look like artistic decisions, so you can get away with some things that you would have to fix on a straight raytrace render.

 

The book I wrote in 1971, so I was...lets see...8 years old. Never waste a day! No, that book was written by my father. Its a great book, even now. The process he was writing about--using a camera and models to set up renderings--is really no different than what we do with digital models and virtual cameras. I was an early adopter of computer-based perspective (I started in 1987) but when people would call it a new approach I would just say I had taken the concept from my father's work and re-applied it to a new tool.
