Kamagoi:
I saw the video and I immediately thought of Dr. Octavius or Doctor Octopus from spiderman. Pretty cool how you show the process. I can't figure out how to use special effects, its harder than it looks.

floyd86:
Looks nice davdud. I just saw your youtube clip.
One thing with reflections and working with background to achieve those reflections: Have you ever heard or tried HDRI shooting?
In this method you use a 100% reflective sphere (like a silver ball you put in your christmastree--> the bigger the better) and mkae photo's of it in you scene you will later composite. This way you get the best looking reflections. More about that here: http://www.pointzero.nl/dump/mirrorball_theory/

Also: try using a AO-layer in your composite: It will make you 3d objects look more realistic because of the fine shadows.

@floyd86: Wow floyd, a lot going on in your reply. I'll give the HDRI shooting a try, but I need to study it a bit first. Also, what exactly does 'AO' mean, and when can I find more information about it?

@Kamagoi: My bro said the same thing. I kind of got my inspiration from Doc Ock.

floyd86:
@davdud: AO mean Ambient Occlusion. It's a render pass which creates realistic light bounces and shadows. It will make tight places, places when normally light doesn't reach so good, darker. This will give a more realistic lighting.
ie -->image

Same goes voor HDRI reflections: they will make you reflections more realistic. It the tiny details that will make you composite realistic.

davdud101:
Man, floyd, I understand just what you're saying (now that you've explained it and I began researching it), but I don't see any way I coan render just an AO pass in Anim8or. You know how? I'll find out what I can.
