Time to reflect.

Yeah, It was a corny title, but what can you do. You simply can not win them all.
Lets play with the lights a little longer.

Quick Render > Lighting

no Caustics, FG, GI, AO, EIEIO yet .. Quick render

Picture one : Quick render
Picture two: Green = approved areas
Red = crap
Need to add another edge between each edge of the wine casks to make them rounder.
brighten the image.
lets go.

Wine_Cellar_Lighting

The guys at blogger are pretty cool.. They give me 1024 megs of free space to do whatever I wish with, as long as it doesn't hurt children or walruses. Good show.

Bar Stool Concepts

Before we get into the three sentence rant, let me state, I am referring to CHAIRS. That is all.

I need a stool... Not just any stool... It has to fit by a bar... .. So what I need would in fact be a Bar Stool..

Now, this stool has to fit in a wine cellar, by a dark hard wood dining table... They have to fit together in the same room and look /natural/ ,,, we'll probably go with the miniature barrel stool..

Cellar Progress

Well, my Zbrush has gone screwy on me, slowing some progress... Which makes me frown.
Sooo if anyone has suggestions on this problem, have at er :

I've got the issue out to three separate fourms,, hopefully some E-genius will hear my cries of dismay.

As for updates in modeling, I give to you one image of progress:

I realize that both the chair and table have but one leg each, don't worry... XSI doesn't have gravity if I don't want it to. ...

I'll add them later.

I have nothing to say to you, large open text window.
