Made using my first 3d render ever (woot). I used this tutorial: http://forums.gfxvoid.com/t-3427.htm


This is my first time trying to incorporate this type of render into a sig, so I made 4 versions:

No brushing.


No brushing. Duplicated render, applied 3px gaussian blur, changed blending to soft light, and merged the two layers.


Brushing layer set on overlay with 100% opacity.


Brushing layer set on normal 50% opacity.




C&C please. Which version is better? Is there something else I should have tried? Do I need to fix anything else?
