Hi AbnRanger, I agree Photoshop or After Effects will do the renders good, but I think I don't get the displacement and bumpmaps transported exactly right to Blender. Tomorrow I have spare time to spent on this and the lighting in Blender (just to get a fair comparison). I will post the results (when they are good enough). I hope you will have a look at them and give me some comment. I am new to active participating a forum so I am not sure if I should start a new topic or continue here.... Maybe you can help. Thanks and regards, Fons

Thanks Phil. I visited your website and watched your video, seems like you are in the 3d business for quite some time... I'm a bit jealous to be honest... Great work! I can't wait to get my 3D-pig into Blender the right way. The renders I made with 3dCoat look so much nicer compared to Blender renders, so I must be doing something not quite right. But I want to make this pig sing and play guitar.... so in Blender he will go. I guess I just have to study and work hard in my spare time.... Nice to 'meet' you. Regards, Fons

Hello, My name is Fons van Stijn and I live in Holland. I am using Blender to develop my 3D design capabilities. I am a graphic designer. I feel that 3d designing is becoming more and more important to me and the company I work for. Software like Blender and now 3dCoat give me the pleasure of exploring new terrain and developing myself. I made 'the Pig attachment' with 3dCoat as a first attempt in my trial period of 30 days (I hope you can see it and no it is not a self portrait). The result of this first attempt is why my expectations of 3dCoat are so high and why I hope to really master the software. I hope to learn a lot from who ever is out there... Regards, Fons
