Average meaning i'm not good at modeling, don't even have modeler now.. Have Mac G5 1.8Gzh 2GB RAM single processor, don't have any otther computers to help in Rendering network...so my renders if i make em full quality will last a long time. But anyways, i've made a couple of pictures that look more like basic COMPUTER graphics and not realistic so how is it Other people can make things that look real? I recently made a house.. it looks good,, however when i render textures and everything seems like cheap computer graphics.. on the other hand, using the same program other people's work i've seen in galleries, or in e-onsoftware's website, look realistic . What exactly do you need to make your images look realistic? is it probably the fact that i'm rendering everything in the lowerst quality possible due to the fact my computer is not fast enough for the others, or maybe i need to learn some special techniques?
