Just a little CSG fun I've been having taking the 3.6 Beta out for a spin.

This is Tonto from the Meta-barons series of comic books.  He's fully 
articulated, so there might be an animation somewhere down the line (But rusty 
need not worry!)  Next step will be to make his friend Lothar, which should be a 
bigger challenge.

Of course, comments and critiques are welcome.

Looks like a robot party! Cool!
Seems like there is something wrong with the shadows.
Is there something in this scene that shows something special about 3.6?

Cool, I recognised it at first look.
It's got some comics texturing too.

Probably because the lights are too strong, combined with the white background 
and a little radiosity.

No.

:)  That's a good sign.

Apart from an image map for the screen, he's just 50% gray.  I haven't started 
to play with a metallic texture, yet.

An area-light might help that.

There will be (a) different lights, (b) scenery around and (c) better radiosity 
settings.  Don't worry...  This is just a WIP in its infancy.  The important 
piece is the robot, not the environment (or lack thereof).
