thanks Jim, I am going to be posting some more views this afternoon.
as for the smoothness, do you mean in the gradients of color or in the
borders between the shapes?
one of the big ways to improve the refinement of your images is to select
"AA .03" along with your image size in the render size selector.
That means that it will render with anti-aliasing, which takes longer (not
much, but it is noticable) but the image will have less "jaggies" in it.
another thing that I like to do is zoom out a little with the camera so the
image isn't cropped *right* around the figure.
hope that helps!
cheers!
