| | | | | | (...) This is an interesting statement.. I find a lot of my beginning 3D students do not have a good idea of what their scene is supposed to look like. A lot of their renders have a "sameness" as well, as they have no real idea of composition, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
