Hi,

Sorry, I don't find it that interesting. The unlit one looks like a field of black with some white glows. The lit one reveals some cones and balls.

Is there more to read into this?

Make sure your options are set correctly, you're in your regular browser and you're logged in. Also: I would like your picture more if you zoomed out just that we could see the upper and lower corner of the object user added image

Aww...I actually think it is not that bad Billy_Cat! user added image I probably could not do something like that in 2 minutes! user added image The best I could probably do is texture a sphere in 2 minutes... :bored: Anyway, I kind of like the effect...I prefer the more lit-up one myself though. user added image

I find it d'rather interessting work! don't be fooled by what other people like mr. wonderful says... there are allways people that won't understand some artwork... I do must say that I like the second render more...

I wonder tho how you got that metallic look on those objects... donwloaded material or composed by yourself ?

Keep you head up! ...You don't need to put all of your quickwork at sm but if you think it's worthy than go for it...try some new things...maybe spent some more time...in the end you will learn alot from it user added image
