neo, i have noticed the biggest issue with alot of your renders is composition and lighting, focus yo, get nice and close so as to actually observe your subject matter, also im not sure what light source you are using, im guessing a skydome exr but try to copy suv's studio setup, it will give you sexier babies guaranteed. and scale your renders down dude... dont like loading 2 megs.

HALP!

Those colours are gorgeous matsta. For such a "simple" image it's composition has has a striking effect on the veiwer, right down to the text in the bottom right. Well done!

Sterzhni-zamedliteli grafitovye. :) Cool indeed. With less noise would be even better.

SATtva_
Thanx.
Noise - I just have no CPU power and time for lot of studio setup tests and clean render.

...ops, you are from Russia

Suvakas's studio looks great.

The only reason why I sometimes don't use studio lighting is that you often end up with reflections (of the light sources themselves) in your objects.. I actually tried a simple lighting studio earlier and then switched to an EXR after that..

Sorry neo0. that's just funny ! You know why ice cubes are ending up into drinks ? Coz they're cold !

People usually expect specular highlight (aka: reflections of the light sources themselves) on the objects to underline their shape. As soon as you are talking about a studio setup for reflective objects that's what you want, 9 times on 10 I bet.

Take the site banner featuring a car as an example, remove the white stripes on it (it's black paint and chrome)... then what ?

the man speaks the truth

I guess a screen shot would have helped. Its basically the same thing as a movie accidently having a reflection of something that was used during filming.. like the camera..

CTZn · Post by **CTZn** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:50 am

Yup. For that matter put the emiters somewhere else than behind the camera, that will not look that wrong

I mean, so wrong

Sticking to the idea of underlining shapes, you rather want get highlights closer to the side of the glasses than in their middle.

Still heavy for a jpg but... that's a jpg !

Does that count as "studio setup"?
For me it's just "lighting and mesh smoothing phail"...

mwuhahaha he has begun the learning process. my internetz cap thankz him

copy suv's light setup word for word. take the number of glasses down to 1, perhaps use the tunmbler and not the wine glasses. all those extra ones are just upping the render time, and your vast background is taking its tiem to come to fruition. once you grasp the idea of a studio setup (by copying suv) you will understand how to create your own and make it work for you alot better.

PureSpider : It's the same thing as my other render. I just used mesh lights and didn't let it cook as long. As you can see, my other render has few or zero black areas.

It seems like, in suv's studio, one key difference is that the emitters are bigger than the actual objects..

CTZn · Post by **CTZn** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 5:41 am

It seems that experience is different from what it seems neo0. But that's quite right, those longer emiters are the "lines", as in "underlining"...
that's where, for kind of the third time, you want to remember what a line is neo0. damnit
