Very nice, I love the "imperfect" stickers.

Ok, I wondered if that was the problem, but figured you should know about the crashing.

Umm... it just crashed on me when trying to do a displacement test. It got to "Doing subdivision level 0" and crashed ("indigo.exe has encountered a problem, blah blah"). Works fine in 1.1.1 though. The scene is just a UV sphere, with max num subdiv set to 2, and an FBM displace (I don't think it'll...

Dude..... that's sick.

Awesome render.

Yes, though I think BiDir can be on. That just affects how the path tracing/MLT works.

MLT on/off chooses between path tracing and MLT.
Hybrid on/off chooses between (path/MLT, whatever you chose) and a path/MLT mixture.
Bidir on/off just changes the behavior of the above-mentioned modes.

That's one insane render. Very nice.

If you're gonna try a different material, you might as well make it a processor's nightmare and do SSS.

That's a good point. Alpha mapping won't help at all with reflective/refractive materials.

For a gradient/alien landscape/etc. BG you could just use alpha rendering.... add in the background afterwards.

Seriously, the best way (for me) to find the right values for things is to just change it a bit, do a preview render, then repeat as necessary.

Watch out for scene scale though! It can mess you up if you forget about it/change it later!

Because, you know, we rock.

I just have a general dislike towards those kinds of hosting sites. I suppose they're not that bad, but they always have little annoyances (I suppose that's the trade-off for being "free"). Rapidshare has a new "captcha" system that I've never seen before, and to be honest, I had to try twice before...

Hey, BbB, I just went looking for that hdr map you said you couldn't find. Google search for "NVIDIA Adrianne Night" exr OR hdr came up with 1 result. That result is on our very own Indigo website. :P Here 's the links page that refers to it, and here 's the link to the file itself. It's hosted on R...

Just installed it. Sweet game. One of the nicest handling racing games I've played.

Ah, I see what you mean now.

I'm assuming that those have the same efficacy rating no matter what the wattage is (dunno exactly tho).
