He is real...

[Frederik]

Hi All,

I know many of you may believe that Fletch is just a robot and for many years I've been wondering about this myself...
How can anyone be as helpful as Fletch...?
How can anyone be as service-minded as Fletch...?
How can anyone be able to possess so much knowledge about rendering as Fletch...?
How can anyone have so much knowledge about 3D models and archviz...?
Why would anyone with all this knowledge want to spend time sharing his/her wisdom with others...?

Yes... The list of questions is long and I could go on...
I'm sure you all have been asking yourself the same questions and at times you've been wondering if Fletch is really a human being - or a clever robot...

So... To find out myself, I took my car and drove all the way from Denmark to Croatia...
After some days searching and researching, I managed to track him down...

He is REAL...!

And I can tell you, he's just as friendly, helpful etc. as he is here...

Here's some images to prove it...

Nice work. He looks really life like.
Not sure about the lighting though. Mabe a better HDR for background.
Nice job with the texture on Fletch's shirt. Was that downloaded from CG Textures?
Not sure about glass reflection, could use some work.
Maybe look at some of the glass & relection tutorials on this site.

by the way, what were you guys drinking ?

one of the many names the locals call it is "medica" which means "little honey", but is actually locally brewed Plum Schnapps (Schlivovica) aged with honey. It is a traditional aperitif of the region. i.e. they usually offer it here before your meal.
