All,

I know there is some mad talent on these forums with regard tophotorealistic rendering / animation. I am relatively new to thisworld - although I have been very fortunate to learn tons from RobRodriguez and, through his rendering contest, have had theopportunity to learn from others work...(Shaodun Lin - that FenderStrat freakin' rocked)

{If you are reading this message and don't know who Rob is - seehis website - www.robrodriguez.com }

So my question(s)...

- What mags do you read (online/print)?
- Where do you go for inspiration (websites, etc.)
- How do you push your skills to the next level?

I am not really talking about your basic how to stuff...althoughthat is excellent as well...I am talking about what have you readthat has really helped you take your rendering to the next level.What is it that keeps you up to date with the industry, etc.

For example...I currently reading "Digital Lighting and Rendering"by Jeremy Birn. It is excellent. I have read my signed copy of thePhotoworks Step-by-step guide and it was great as well.

Thanks - look forward to hearing...
