Thanks, it's a cool model but always struggled with using as main subject in an image

Congrats! You did it this time (and you did it really, really good

Appreciated

Thanks, you're dead right. I have quite a few old "What the hell can I do with this?" assets that I'm trying to make something with

Thanks

Interesting maybe Birdman and petipet are the same or both used a common source?

This is the actual product I used although I had to tweak all the textures to play nice in Vue

Ooo. The Irony of missed opportunity: Birdman rendered the image in Vue. Naw. I say petipet's version is the better bet. Birdman's raster meshes are generated from native Rhino, which I suspect is nurbs-based, and therefore generated by algorithm, which is a disaster of over-defined surfaces, redundant vertices and so on. I know: I have cleaned up several Birdman meshes. Usually takes weeks.

That's great background info which makes my settings seem more rational - thanks. It's weird cos the product page was telling me grotty urban steampunk but the model was saying a Wild Wild West vibe which is where I went with the 2 recent images and an earlier one I want to redo.
