Hi fellas,

Thanks for all your help in thefactory. Here he is, the finished beast. There are parts of him I'm not 100% happy with, but I had to meet the deadline. I only got tme to pose him, maybe someday soon I'll revisit him for some cool animations ! Hope you like him.

Neat man, looks great. I'm not a huge fan of the raytraced shadows, but it's probably just because there is no environment. Does he have no pupils?

You think that high res shadow maps would be better? I've never used them before, I always assumed ray traced shadows were superior, but the I've never been taught this stuff . At least not yet anyway.

Hey mate...I think you did a good job texturing the creature, although your lighting still isn't doing it justice.

As for the shadows outdoors, the problem you're getting now is extreme crispness...it's not that raytraced shadows are bad, it's that you need to use a form of raytraced shadows that support distance blur Area shadows would be a better choice of raytraced shadows imo.
