A good start would be to use an hdr for the background, this should give your renders a bit more context.

Another thing that will make a big improvement is adding bumpmaps to the walls and pavement. Might also be worth toning down the white a bit while your at it.

tanks for your answer, but I refer to the quality of the image, in the gallery I see very good images (quality... no grain, no blur, etc)

Ahhhh, i get you now.

Well to do this you jsut need ot leave it running for longer. It would also help to tone down the whites a bit as well, as pure white gives you long render times.

about the blur: That's related to DoF and Filter settings....

Else, I'd say... Change your whitepoint to get a warmer appearance and further: Inform yourself (Forum Search !!) ("!!!!") (!) about which setting does what.

Many tanks, i put another color, not white.
Sorry for not doing much specific and for my english.
Some of the images have at least 7-14 hrs, but I not see the difference.

Thanks again

I try to search which settings are best, but don't find any settings

I find this in the manual.....I think??

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<config>
<renderer_settings>
<metropolis>false</metropolis>
<bidirectional>true</bidirectional>

<downsize_filter>

<mn_cubic>
<ring>0.2</ring>
<blur>0.6</blur>
</mn_cubic>


</downsize_filter>

<super_sample_factor>2</super_sample_factor>

<aperture_diffraction>true</aperture_diffraction>
<post_process_diffraction>true</post_process_diffraction>
</renderer_settings>
</config>

But I don't what is the best value

Thanks for your response

Well Indigo takes a lot of time to produce clean image 7-14 hrs is pretty much normal for that scenes i you dont want that noise just remove it in an image editor.

Hi rodrigo!
To enhance quality i suggest you select (as someone else has told you already) a white point different from E: i often use C or D65 to get a warmer effect. Another thing i often do is to change the turbidity value, randomly (but taking care of not to reach the top value). Then, adding a touch of environment objects like trees, benches etc would be good. Instancing can be SO useful! BTW good start!

Hi Rodrigonotor,
Are you using any SSS materials, or dispersive specular materials?
I'm asking because there is some unusual colour noise in the renders.

Thanks Pibuz, I really don`t know nothing about the white point, I try to search what means C or D65 or E, but don`t find. I make a test with this settings.
About the enviroment I try to put a background image and make a error. I try to post the window message error.

This are my first renders with Indigo and SKindigo, I new with this.

Wow, very nice progress.
The light already is nice.
As Pibuz suggested....the rest is more texturing and populating your scene with things like vegetation.

Keep it up.

Regards,

Hi OnoSendai,

Glass: specular
grass: diffuse
floor: Phong

I think what is the mistake, the walls don`t have any material, only the color by default of SU. When I try to edit the materials of the walls, don`t have options.

I post the images
