Hello,

I'm new to Maxwell and this is my try. It's a byzantine cross. I hope you like it and suggestions are always welcome.

Note: in the byzantine era (667 BC to 1453), gemstones were not cut as we do now. You can find more information about the Byzantine Empire on Wikipedia. Also, I don't know how to increase the SL level so .ior files gave me noise results so I created the gems myself. It's the best I could do.

I have problems posting the image, this link should do. Hey! How do you put images in the forum?

Paste your image path, highlight it, then push the Img button.

Edit: Seems to be a problem.

Yeah, there's a problem. I just tried with a 134KB jpg file and the same issue appears.

Nicely done! Maybe try lighting it without using skydome or physical sky this will immediately improve your materials and contrast levels! :wink:

:D Thanks Tea Bag! Bubbaloo and me couldn't link it... that's strange.

I'll try using no skydone/physical sky. I was happy with the result, but there's surely room to improve. Thank you!
