Well, if back will be at least half as good as the front head, it will surely be impressive even then

The shots already look extremely realistic. Can't wait to see more

Good start Wiz- perservere and you'll do a great job I'm sure.

**Wiz** · 06-09-2008, 01:13 PM

Thanks guys, I am both really excited about doing Threepio and completely terrified, but will see how I get on

The shots themselves have no physical lights in there, as the materials are either reflective or self illuminating (the eyes) I have just used an enviorment map (HDRI) mixed with the (improved) exposure controls and voila

Nice, looking forward to updates

If you want your glossy reflections to be smoother without increasing the samples, have a look at this blog entry (I can also recommend all the other entries): zap's mental ray tips: More Hidden Gems: mia_envblur - glossy reflections of Environments

I often visit his blog, also of course Jeff Patton's, both excellent sources for knowledge, hints and tips

Will give this a go later on

Ta,

Wow, thanks guys, great to get this kind of support

will help me through the dark days (which are to come I am sure)...

Anyhoo, only a little update (will try and get more to show later today), started on the back of the head, detailed the bolt and now moving onto the main shape... so away I go, back soon (I hope)!
