[Render] Night Elf Druid

[Rayuski]

Hey, I just did my first render(ever OMG) and I'd like some constructive criticism on it. All I used was the Polygon Tool(If anyone has a tut on something else I could use to make it look better please tell me about it) But yeah, first one. So here it is.

Virgin Picture(Untouched by me)

Yes, his fingers are deformed. Was hard to work around that orb of his.

1. Very small image.
2. Badly cut.
3. Use Pen Tool.
4. The render could of been cut out just with the magic wand.

Press Z and zoom in very close too the pixels and you will do a better job on the edges. Keep practicing though!!

[Rayuski]

Thanks both of you, I did try the Magic Wand. But then it cut off the ear, but as I said.. First render still learning, just thought I get some help from others Thanks again for the input.

I wonder why nobody has pointed out that he saved this as JPG instead of PNG (which he should of).
:S

[Rayuski]

Oh ****. Woops, went completely blank on that, and I knew I was meant to that haha.. Thanks for pointing that out too

It should look somewhat like that:

(I couldn't get rid of the white border >_<)

But for your first pretty good.

[Rayuski]

Woah, that is epic compared to mine. Hopefully one day I'll get as good as that.

[Erase]

Lol. he used a soft brush eraser tool. -______-

[Rayuski]

So many tools being thrown around .. Which one would be easier to start off with? Soft Brush Eraser or the Pen Tool?

[Erase]

Easiest imo is Pen Tool. Also looks best. But it takes way longer time. Also, if you were to use the eraser tool, use a hard brush.

[Rayuski]

I tried using the pen tool, but it tests my patience a little to much :S I will try using the eraser tool, see how I go with it

[d3rrial]

I always use the Polygonal Lasso tool with Feather of 1px and Anti Aliasing On.

[Rayuski]

Yea, that's what I did on that one. But with a Feather of 0 px.. Tomorrow after my soccer match I'm just going to practice with different tools and stuff.. I'll get good one day(Hopefully) :P

I was thinking about creating a rendering tutorial but there are so many out there, and they are all the same. Check the planetrenders forums
