Wait, what? The image you just posted says quite the opposite: cutting just above/below the knee is "green" (which I was refering to as "medium shot" - from the knee to the head), cutting at the ankles or cutting off the toes if "red".
Since the chart lacks a bit of accuracy, what they are trying to show is that cutting off below the knee should be at the thirds, 1/3 down from knee to ankle or 2/3 down from knee to ankle, not just below the knee or heaven forbid right through the knee. Look at the example picture for clarification.

I'm really enjoying most of the art posted here -- keep it going. You guys have some amazing talent!

I do have one request though, because it's driving me crazy:
Please, please do not cut off the feet all the time!

No, I don't have a foot-fetish (although, I fancy some nice shoes/boots/heels), I just think it's a bad frame choice. There's something called a "medium shot" or "medium full shot", which basically covers "knees to head" (example #1 #2 #3 #4 #5), and then there's a "full shot" which covers the "full" body (toes to head, I don't think you need examples for those).

I'm seeing this in so many renders, and also in so many games, and I really don't know why this happens so often. When I was young, my father told me an important rule when taking photographs: do not cut of feet or heads. And I think still should still be valid as of today. But maybe it's just me...
Interesting advice, I'll keep this in mind the next time I create something.

Part of what I loved about her was how she seems to be a widow with deep feelings for her long lost husband. I loved her and understood her character even more than I wanted to after I lost my wife last year. I had this idea for a render on my mind for a while. Not exactly "sexy", but just to tell something about her...

Whelp. No more renders from me for a while. I spent the night trying to start a new one, only to have my laptop crash and reboot every single time with a 'driver power failure'. So until I fix that somehow, I can't do much...

And I had feets and toes in that one too :(
That's why we don't even try to render feet... don't need our systems crashing! :cool:
