    play with light

    I think there is a line between 'realistic' and 'photorealistic'. All your work, ron, is realistic to some degree. All 3d emulated illustrations are somewhat realistic. It just depends to what extent (how realistic) you want to go. It's up to the artist how far to push that envelope. For me, a...

    Ok. So tell me, how does a 8mb app run so damn slow?

    new bug

    Cool, ron. I don't mind bugs at all. What really freaks me out is spiders!? [confused] I'm a total arachnophobe, so don't get any ideas ronmatt! >:O :D

    Gaussian - The way your reply came across, I got the impression that trying to make something in Photoshop look realistic wasn't feasible, or at least a waste of time. I agree that my PS drawings aren't picture-perfect, but I posted them to illustrate that making something to look realistic...

    Yes, you said it. When I said the wine glass looked 'fake', I didn't necessarly mean that its a bad thing. It doesn't have to look photo-realistic to be good. I was simply trying to point out parts of the image I thought could be improved to make it look better. Thats all. And I do think it is...

    I disagree. Acheiving photo-realism with PS is something that I strive to do. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/patrick24/illustrations/m4a1.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/patrick24/illustrations/iPod.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/patrick24/illustrations/orb_white.jpg...

    I think its ok, but I don't like how 'flat' it looks. I guess you're not aiming towards a realistic look, but it does look kinda fake. The reflection is too soft to be glass - looks more like plasticy velvet. I like how you tried incorporate the sub-surface glow of the wine, but the rest looks...

    Lightroom links and tutorials

    Yes. I think they concentrate more on adding cool new features, but forget that the majority of us consumers don't have the latest, greatest systems/hardware to run the software. Not that I'm complaining about nice new features and beefed up software, it would just be nice if it ran a little...

    Problem with 'Most recent topics' list.

    Yes, I read this, but I guess I kinda missed the part where you said . I think I understand now, I was just wondering if something was messed up.

    Problem with 'Most recent topics' list.

    There seems to be a problem with the recent topics list at the bottom, and from the link at the top. The problem is, it seems to not show all the recent posts, or skips some in between. After the post listed at July 18, 2006, 11:46:44 AM there are some missing. I know I've posted since then and...

    Soapy Logo

    Yes. It is most definately worth the money. When I need to desing a logo its like a miracle of inspiration. The time you save thinking up ideas for logos makes up for the cost alone. As they say: time is money. And btw, I haven't looked through it yet because I forgot I lent it to a client...

    Lightroom links and tutorials

    Thanks sPECtre. I noticed from reading replies that Lightroom evidently runs slow. I have yet to download and try it out, but I was wondering if anyone around here came to similar conclusions about Lightroom's performance. \:/

    first post

    Before I even read your post I thought, "Hey, that looks like something ronmat did." Ron has his own unique style that you can recognize anywere. I think thats a good thing, and I'm glad to see learning from him. I think you've mad a great start too. I really like what you've done here. Very...

    Soapy Logo

    I have a book I always consult when I need ideas for logos. It's called "The Big Book of Logos" and I'm pretty sure you can get in on Amazon. I take a quick look though it and give some ideas.
