noob with problems
Hello,
Long time fan, first time poster.
I've got the hang of modeler, but rendering/lighting/surfacing is kinda complicated for me. As you can see from my picture, I kinda suck at it.
First question:
Why does the wood look all wavy on the desk? I'm using some image map that i found on the internet. I would use procedurals, but they always come out as lines going across the surface.
Second question:
Why are the shadows always really crisp? I want softer shadows but can't seem to get them.
Hmmm...scratch that first question. I opened the pic outside of lightwave and the wood doesn't have any waves. But even with the image map, it seems to always turn it into straight lines across the surface. Sorry, I'm a noob. This question has probably been answered a million times.
Thank you for any input and help.
Derek
