Except it's not pillowshading and that absolutely nothing is wrong with Crow's edit. In fact it has the same exact shading as mines except it has more buffer shades.

acutally the front of the hat was bright and had a light source.

the rim had a second light source from a seperate area.

the top of the hat was dark still and thus the light source was in between you and the object.

a form of pillow shading in my book. but again you are never right when dusti is around.( here comes another giant pile of text)

The rim is lit from the exact same light source as the cylindric part of the hat, just not as drastically. The top is lit up as well, again, not as drastically. I overdid my highlights and didn't use bright enough tones on both the rim and the top part. That still doesn't make it pillow shading, and I don't even feel bad about it, because I'm not a graphics guy; I'm a coder.

I actually feel good about it, because I know more about graphics than you do, and it shows. Hooray!

the bright spot o the rim is slightly to the left= the light source is slighly to the left.

the middle part is fully centred = light source is DIRECTLY between you and the object.

the top was dark = tells me theres no source of light in the sky above the hat.

but w/e floats your boat.

just beacause the pillow shading wasnt applied EXACTLY HOW DUSTI SAIS to all surfaces doesnt mean its not pillow shaded on some surfaces that it was applied to...... -_-

Just because someone doesn't share your viewpoint doesn't mean they are being negative. Don't take everything so personally. If you opened up your mind a little bit, you might actually learn something from him.

Just because the front of the hat is lighter than the top does not mean that it the lightsource is coming from directly in front. This is where you're failing at interpreting lightsources. It simply means that the lightsource is SOMEWHERE below the 90degree mark. Also the highlight is slightly to the right of the the tophat.

A gate I made for iClassic:

Would you call that pillowshading? Because the front of the gate is lighter than the top.
