Here is the screenshot for the table cloth texture settings in blendigo

Ok, sorry but Im still struggling to do the material thing even after all the help, still cant save an igm file, and having xml problems, sorry about that, so here's the two jpegs I used, one as an albedo map (pooltablecloth.jpg) and the other as a bump map (pooltablecloth bump 1,jpg) which I made i...

Thanks WytRaven, that makes sense, will check that out. As for the material, I am blocked from posting an xml file, and when I click on save in the blendigo script, I am prompted to select an igm file, and Im not sure what that means, or how to generate the required pigm file that I can then upload

Hey whaat, im not sure how to upload the material to the database, can you instruct me please? As for the scene, I tried implementing DOF, but it seems I was limited to a smallest selection value of 1.4 for FStop, which left me with not much of a difference from the original image, and when I use a ...

Thanks Doug, I will give that a try

Yes i think i need an env map. I cant seem to find a decent one on the net for free though. I would need to find one of an interior, or else, I could perhaps put this into an interior scene? Also, I wanted to apply a DOF effect, but I have no idea how to do that, can anyone tell me how to go about d...

Hi everyone, its been a really long time since I made anything at all, been so busy with studies, but here's something I churned out yesterday, a very very simple scene that took no time at all to construct, but lots of time to get the render to look right, its a simple pool ball scene, just did a d...

here's a rendering done using exit portals, seems to work for reducing noise levels. There were some errors in the meshes making up the walls which I touched up a bit in Photoshop, but not enough. Im leaving the scene as it is now, going to move onto another project, either a bathroom or a car.

thanks a million ZomB. That clears it up alot, I will start experimenting with it then.

hey ZomB, Im trying to implement exit portals because it sounds like a fantastic idea, but Im having trouble understanding how to do so properly. do I just place mesh boxes behind the windows (outside the room) and surrounding the balcony area? Really need help with this. Thanks.

thanks ViennaLinux and ZomB, I will give those ideas a try

yes i think ur right, will implement the loop cuts. Hey I was wondering, How do I put meshlights in the same scene as sunsky? that way I could brighten up the scene, possibly decreasing the render time? Wish I had a computer like yours!

wow, i really love this image, its so crisp and clean, excellent!

here's a new render, unfortunately the image is still very noisy after almost 13 hours of rendering, this is due to my slow computer, a celeron 2ghz, 512MB ram. But as you can see I've made a few improvements, the rug still needs some work flattening it out though.

ok dont know why that image got posted 1 and a half times, sorry
