- 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. very good hint for beeing a "n00b" Psycho :wink:. But just to keep this one accurate: max of 80% in R, G and B for your white color, its around ...

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.

Double post.

I just switched up to blender 2.46 and indigo 1.15, and I'm getting this error:

Please help, thanks.

I wanted to be more descriptive in the title, but I couldn't do this game justice with only a few words. This game, while needs a lot of work to make it deeper and whatnot, is amazing. From the website: "Dyson is an ambient real-time strategy game with abstract visuals. Remotely command semi-autonom...

I'm not exactly sure if this thread belongs in this forum, but oh well. I have been experimenting trying to make a shadowy club, and I've found that all lighing is completely comparison based; If you have one light, it doesn't matter what you do to the settings for it, it just stays the same. Anyway...

Utteraly amazing realism, but... I dunno, I guess I think that sometimes you should go for "better than real". What I mean is that for a picture like this, you should have skin that looks more appealing than it would in real life, just because you can.

To BbB; no I don't have any 64-bit computers.

To Wedge and ZomB; I'll try those out, I really should read some documentation on streamlining renders.

Also, why does it crash? Is'nt the whole point of region rendering so you can break up a large render into bite sized peices?

Well, I am trying to render a scene that is 2700x3150, and as you may imagine, indigo crashes. So, I rendered a 900x1050 of that same image, and it worked. So, I tried to region render 9 peices of the 2700x3150 version at 900x1050 each, but it still crashed, I have no idea why it does, but it does. ...

Yeah, I guess I'll end up doing that, I just thought there might be a in-blender fix.

Not sure I see any difference. But I've noticed something like that in the past, mainly for very extreme lens width like very wide angle or very long lens. Woo! Nice model by the way If you look at the edges, you can see in the indigo render, the edges of the object is closer to the edge of the pic...

Well, I guess I've never heard of that before; mind telling me how to smooth normals?

Smooth your normals! The chair back, monitor stand and your desk legs spoil the "realism" (I know some other elements are not "real" as such, but the non-smooth surfaces don't fit the scene feelas a whole). Also, I would add a small skirting board too, as the differentiation between the floor and w...
