Looking good bentleya! Keep going, you'll get there. There's a lot to learn in Kerkythea and it does take time trying different settings. How about adding some texture to your background?

bentleya, i see you're going for the studio lighting setup. When i saw your shots, it instantly reminded me of this tutorial

http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tut...tudiolighting/

maybe do a search on google for 'studio lighting tutorials' or look for tutorials from other applications like 'vray'

Could be useful.

This is an excellent lighting tutorial. I'm glad I managed to dig it out.

These are quite old but maybe useful as well.

do you guys load the .prt files into the rendering program and then edit the textures? I think I would like to work on rendering my recent waterblock designs for you all :)

What software are you using to model? Mick, bentleya and myself are using Google Sketchup to model ours...

I'm using Google SketchUp also, then exporting to Kerkythea with the Kerkythea plug-in. I've downloaded most of the textures available on the Kerkythea website which I then modify with the texture editor, if I feel it is necessary...:cool:

Good idea is to use IGES format so you can open files in almost everything (like 3ds max) without converting surfaces to meshes.

Still playing. Wish I could get this made. Too much trouble & expense at the moment...;)

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I use Solidworks 8 and UGS NX5 for my modeling because my university gives them to me and they are much better than sketchup ^^
