Simple Renderings Thread

I am working with 3DS Max. Here's another update: the fur is a lot wispier now, this one looks MUCH better.

Converting the Hair and Fur modifier to mesh is tedious though, hence the 7.5M polygon level now...

It looks awesome, I know how you feel trying to convert the hair to polys, it is painful lol - Maybe when subpixel is finished the main portion of the indigomax plugin he can try getting native max hair/fur into indigo =P

And an old test scene that was floating around lots of different forums.. New sky model

Good use of the trusty Greeble plugin, nice.

Regarding IndigoMax, it is about time that MAX got a decent exporter; Indigo being a quality renderer itself deserves it. I will keep following the IndigoMax thread for developments.

Just playing with Blender "Hair" to scatter dupli-grouped clouds and buildings on a displaced sphere. The first "Yellow" picture has multiple atmosphere layers, while the second "Blue" picture has the clouds bigger and only a single atmosphere layer.

holy patoly sweetcement, that looks heavy. And thats why I asked some time ago to a similar image from you...

@ nino
Very nice. Just needs o "cook" a little longer to remove the noise, which is really killing the floors wood texture.

@sweetcement
Very creative! I bet that rendered for a little eternity!

@ tar_gniK
The bear looks much better now. My 6 year old son liked it so "mission accomplished"

What do you mean by "cook"?
Btw, maybe I was wrong with using bumps on the floor texture.

cook - longer rendering

@ Headroom: Kids make for great critics, don't they? No holding back!

Nice fur + render!

Hey Ono, thanks for your kind words! That will give me encouragement to continue pushing!!

@ solarray -- image looks heavy...

The image is mostly dupliverted or "dupli-hair'ed" instances of maybe 35 objects -- crude buildings with maybe 50 polygons, space stations kind of the same, and clouds made from icospheres displaced by Blender's "Displace" modifier, scattered around a couple of spheres as "hair." Scene was not really all that much memory in Indigo (or Blender, as long as I tell it to not display more than a tenth or so of the instances). Looks like lots of stuff there, but it's instanced "echoes" so it does not need much memory -- maybe 2 gigs to render, if even that.

Rendered overnight in an i7 with 8 cores, 9 gigs of RAM available -- used straight path tracing, no MLT or bidirectional. Straight path tracing seems to work best with these kind of media scenes.

Also use linear tonemapping, or camera -- Reinhard sometimes leads to problems with scenes like this. And no export of EXR -- that slows it up, too, for some reason.

As an exercise, one can enhance the scene with ISL textures on the clouds, modulating SSS with an fbm function -- not really necessary, and it slows up the render quite a bit when I try it. Or one can model the whole atmosphere, clouds, blue sky and all, as one ISL function -- slow, and only shows colors under bidirectional for some reason, but it works. But the approach used to make these scenes was simpler, and much faster, and good enough.

Played with Daz (free) the other day, added max+ivy+indigo

I ended up with a lot of colour variations that I might post eventually. - 1920x1080: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/ ... 4p1h9f.png

That is wonderful Enslaver!
Love the greyscale version, very intense!

My girlfriend (photographer) would love that too.. I'll let you know
