my first FFXI render ^^

[dabadking]

okay...after seeing this done for what seems like forever, I decided to have fun and make wallpapers..then I got picky and wanted to make rendered ones lol. so, I asked a few questions and somewhat got the hang of it now...still dunno how to actually add shadows or adjust lighting on the models yet...but heres what I got on my first try

I think it looks okay. I posted the pic in the topic I was asking how to do it on, but figured this is actually where it would technically belong since its a finished picture, and I dont need help on it anymore.

(picture quality was butchered since it was originally 1280x1024, and well over 1MB in size).

(now less than 200kb in comparison)

lol thats why i said i dunno how to add shadows or adjust the lighting on the chars yet...I COULD go into photoshop and fake the shadows by adding the -oh so famous- blobs underneath lol...but..I'd rather add real shadows, when i figure it out.

Yeah, the ninja in the tree kind of just looks like he's floating, but it's really not a bad start at all.

lol yeah well about the ninja >.>....in the one that I have thats like ...almost 2MB the branch hes standing on is clearly visible. as for the chars all being the same race...yeah, I threw it together in about 10 minutes so I didnt even think about the different races at the time except for the whm which i though of going taru but then was like bah too late now lol. I put the ninja up there for 2 reasons actually...1, I wanted him to seem like he was gonna jump down and kill something, and 2....there wasnt much room for anything else really...I wanted to add mobs in the front and 2 more in the back but..with the sizes I went with there just wasnt room for them and I didnt want to make them smaller because they lost enough quality in the models as it is.
