Description
This took all night to render because of the transparencies, and is a great example of a half-finished idea that would have been really nice if I had twice the machinery and twice the speed.
As it stands now, it's plain and incomplete.
Boo hoo hoo.
I didn't have any crystal shapes in my runtime (and a quick internet search didn't turn anything up), so I just used cube primitives, stretched them along the Y axis to make them taller, and positioned them around.
Then I gave them a material from an AerySoul package...sort of a transparenty hologramish material. I adjusted the transparency down in the material room editor to make them more see through.
Then I went into Photoshop and made the little SuperDuperman logo on the M4 Bodywears undies and slapped that mat on.
And that's it. 5 hours of rendering for this simple thing. Isn't that awful?

You have a lot of patience but it came out well. Very nice effect.
Excellent character and lighting here, superb setting, amazingly done! ******
bonne image!
~I think it turned out very well! I like the cyan light and transparencies...its a very balance composition! Nice work!!~
I was really proud of this when it finished and I slinked off to bed. Now that I look on it with fresh eyes, I'm not too impressed.
Awesome character and great lighting !
