Interior of shiny, clean, high tech room.
Well, here is a render of what I got so far;
By ryandaniels
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Especially lighting and camera postion, as I want the details of my ojects to show.
Also, some of the objects are low poly, but that is just because I turned some down to lower render time for this early pic.

My advice:
* If you're using Blendigo, you might want to set a few of your objects as smooth, and make sure you're not exporting the meshes separately, since, due to the XML, I don't think there's a way to make an imported .obj scene smooth, for some reason.
* Render at a smaller resolution-- this will help make your muts/px better, and clear out the fuzz, or at least size it down before you upload-- as a courtesy to us.

I didn't make the poly high so it didn't take as long to render, and the grain is from me stopping the render too quick.CryptoQuick wrote:My advice:

Hi ryandaniels,
I'm very, very much a noob, but I have some observations that might help (something I stumbled into by reading many posts around this forum):
- maybe some of your objects, like the chair, are RGB 256 (i.e. pure white), which should be avoided to "help" the render. You can use like 80%-90% white.
- an IES profile for the light could help giving the light a more realistic shape?
Concernign the smoothing, this has always caused my headaches: I never understood if the right was to smooth is to "subsurf" or to to "set smooth". The other replies shed a little light on this, but I would really like to know more on how the correct smoothing of objects should be done. Can anyone say something more comprehensive?
Any comments on all this are welcome!

Thanks for the help, I didn't know about those first two things. As for the last, I was very new to rendering back then, and didn't have a very good understanding of the uses of normal smoothing. Luckily though, I learned from that rather large mistake.Psychotron80 wrote:Hi ryandaniels,

Thanks for the reply!
very good hint for beeing a "n00b" Psycho . But just to keep this one accurate: max of 80% in R, G and B for your white color, its around 204!Psychotron80 wrote:- maybe some of your objects, like the chair, are RGB 256 (i.e. pure white), which should be avoided to "help" the render.

Hey ryandaniels, you can throw as much polys at Indigo as your RAM can hold! You won't see any speed differences.... better lower the resolution of your image and keep supersampling at 1 for testrenders.ryandaniels wrote:I didn't make the poly high so it didn't take as long to render, and the grain is from me stopping the render too quick.

Yeah, thanks again everyone, and no offense to anyone here, but this thread is from the beginning of the year, so this doesn't represent my current knowledge level, and I don't need any advice on this picture since I'm not messing with it anymore.ZomB wrote:very good hint for beeing a "n00b" Psycho .

For some reason this post comes off sounding defensive and hostile. I really do enjoy constructive criticism, but this thread is so old I'd like for people to just let it die.
