Not bad. If you’ve got the Advanced Renderer (comes with XL & Studio bundle), try this: - Make a big ground plane - Make a sphere and put it sitting on the ground - Create a Sky object - Make a new material, leave all settings as they are - Put the new material on the Ground and Sphere - Make another new material - Uncheck all the stuff on the material (eg. Color, Reflection, etc) - Check ‘Luminance’ - Put this material onto the Sky object - Open up your render settings - Under Radiosity, turn it ‘on’ - Under Options, uncheck ‘Auto Light’ - Render it! You should have a clean milky-white scene with a ball on the ground and soft shadows everywhere 🙂 I personally love that style of render. ---

lighting could be modified a bit. i like the first render:) ---

thanks for the ctrits…I have to admit that my first tries were kind of crappy. I did them just a day ago. I just did this one since I started this morning. what should I improve on ![](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f251/julius17/gatling_gin_2.jpg) ![](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f251/julius17/gatling_gin_1.jpg) its amazing what reading a few tutorials can teach you ---

Wow, not bad. You’re really gettin’ the hang of C4D. And also, welcome to the world of 3D! GBP ---

you can do so much with 3D that you cant do with 2D, I have to say that is its amazing. ![](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f251/julius17/mech_3.jpg) ---

all of them look good considering they’re your first models. that mech walker thingy is really interesting. it really looks like it’s really going somewhere. ---

Hmmyeah… That top cockpit part and the feet look kinda ‘crumpled’. You modelled them yourself, didn’t you? Try sticking a Phong tag on them, or use HyperNURBS, or clean up your modelling 😛 ---
