Sup guys. I've been modeling for a little while now. But I decided To take up rendering on the side, because its loads of fun. (and really hard, for me at least) and here is some of the stuff I came up with, The models in these are mostly primatives and low-poly stuff but I think I'm making progress
I guess this topic might serve as a look into an aspiring renderer/modeler's life and progress, if one day I become famous you can say, "Hey, I knew this kid when he was just starting!" Because everyone knows that cg artists get famous all the time -_-
I made a few versions of this picture but I think I like this one best. If I felt like rendering it again I would make it much brighter, but hey, I'll just make my next ones better.

I made this one but I don't think that it turned out right (The render that is, I like the model) The global Illumination isn't powerful enough but it's nice and accurate, you can see the light bouncing off the one of the rear legs and hitting the floor. For those who don't know, global illumination sort of traces light waves and their color and lets it bouce around affecting different surfaces

Here is what that first render looks like like without global illumination, This is an earlier test render of it though, so one of the models is different.

Here is the final one of the day, I like the red circle in the back

I've still got a while to go untill my stuff starts looking photo-realistic, but I am proud of what I have made
