Help With Rendering Basic Knowledge

[PushCreative]

Thanks a lot Zom-B for the quick response.

I will be making these adjustments asap!

I would not use Reinhard tone mapping, since it makes the image less dynamic, IMO. But that's a matter of taste.

So I can't seem to find the "Arch Glass" check box under the Specular Option.
I am running SkIndigo 3.6.25.5
Any Ideas?

Arch glass option isn't in SkIndigo yet, as it is quite new.

[PushCreative]

Ok, that would explain it.

Very unfortunate, any expected date that that would be available in a beta?

How do some of these pros achieve such a scene now then? When using an Exit Portal with Internal Glass in the scene?
Is it just typical to clean up the artifacts up in post processing?

Thanks

I clearly explained that you need to tick it in the Render GUI mate, by hand... then it works!

Is it just typical to clean up the artifacts up in post processing?

You can bet I denoise the hell out of my animations
Even for still images I render in 200% of final scene size needed, then denoise, and reduce size down to 100%, so I get rid of noise and keep details

[PushCreative]

Oh my bad!

I just started to re-render it with Arch Glass on and I can instantly see the difference!

Ok now we're talking! Thanks Zom-B you've been a big help

Speaking of Animations,

I posted a question on the "Skindigo animation: 'how to' explained." Topic but haven't seen any comment action on that topic.

I can't seem to actually produce an animation when exporting the scene tab animation option.
When I follow the the steps outlined by Cotty from the topic I get a folder created with two things included:
-Filename-meshes.igs
-Folder with materials

An "igq" file is not created as outlined in his steps.

When I click the .igs file I get the following error:

"Scene parsing error: Invalid root element 'scene data'"

Any Thoughts?
