This is very interesting, thanks for sharing. If all those renderers are CPU-only, why is there still a tendency to develop GPU renderers? After all these years, and SDKs like CUDA being mature enough, shouldn't GPU renderers make a difference? What about hybrid renderers? I like the fact of CPU ren...

Hi guys, This would be a request, a simple one. As with many other programs that need online authorization/verification, Indigo should be allowed to be run/authorized on up to 2 machines used non simultaneously. People usually have a desktop and a laptop machine or a home and an office environment t...

You sure did! :D Yup, Alvaro is my name, you remembered it perfectly! Thanks a lot for the comments and all the feedback. I feel honored to get such criticism from someone with your experience. And yup, you're right in all of your observations, I shall put them into practice ;) About the wood textur...

Thank you Zeitmeister!

I'm "getting there" with the help of all of you guys

OK, here's some progress, but first I want to thank you all for all the tips and recommendations. Changes: -Added the ies lights (though the spots are barely visible on the floor) -Added the desk lamp in the reference -Added the bonsai in the reference And I tried some color grading following Oscar'...

I had totally forgotten about that option!!!!!! yesssssss! I'm going to try that out.

I'll post my progress soon.

Fantastic! Thanks a lot for your time and dedication to share knowledge. It's great to hear you still use blender, I started this image on this thread: http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13792 Vasco gave some ideas on how to implement ies lighting with the mesh emitters but I ha...

woooohooooo! thanks a lot for the links Oscar J! I'm gonna read them right away.
Here's a version with the agfapan 400, I just had to decrease the red channel a bit in postpro.

Thanks for commenting and for all the help.

Question: Oscar, what modeling application do you use?

I'm not familiar with the addon, but have you tried converting the curves to mesh (Alt+C) "mesh from curve" and once you got your branches as meshes unwrap/uvmap them?

I'm using Agfacolor Ultra 050 CD, which indeed makes the image greener. I'm going to try the agfapan 400cd. What is the difference between the "cd" and the "scd" version (besides the "s" that is, lol!) ;) Where do you find info on which camera models are better for interior/exterior rendering? thank...

Thanks for commenting Oscar :) Nope, It's camera tonemapping, Reinhard makes it too reddish, and yup, I'm trying to learn about better tonemapping but it's no easy task. ;) cheers! Alvaro Edit: I just played with the image a bit in PS and it shifts it a bit towards a violet tone when "white balancin...

Here's another one:

trying to replicate this scene:

OK, here's some more progress: -I used the reference image in blender's viewport to improve the framing of the scene. -Checked up all proportions -Added the AC grate and the outlet. Pending: -Adding the bonsai -Adding the desk lamp -Getting ies lighting to work. I'm going to post it in the simple re...

@Vasco: could you please share your blend file (the one from your screenshot), no matter what I do I can't get it to work

thanks!

OK, I just changed it from blackbody to RGB and assigned the emitter to a separate light layer, and cranked its power to 1500, however, It's still not visible since the lighting in the other light layer is dimming it out. I tried setting the environment light layer to zero and then I can see the lam...
