The gold medals(bling) looks realy good

[Camox]

A little retro shoot. I will be at the scene even more work.
rt: 4h indigo 1.1.18

[Pibuz]

Pretty cool!
I see a little diffraction, is that correct?
How did you apply that?

[Peterchen]

Thanks for the replies!

The first two are awesome What was the fluid sim done with?

It was done in Blender 2.48. Each of the small pics were rendered in 1440x900, I didn't want to explode this forum but in the attachment is my favourite. It shows a drop getting hit by a drop, it was a pain to get the timing right. It could look a lot better with more fiddling and more fluid-sim-resolution, my water bassin is not deep enough so the first drop doesn't jump that hight.

@pibuz: it is water.igm from the material database. I forgot what genious created it, but it uses tabulated spectrums for absorption coefficient and scattering coefficient. cauchy b is 0.003.

@ camox: Awesome picture and FANTASTIC carpet!!! looks so cool and fluffy! how did you do that? great angle and great mood. My only criticism is that the stones in the background look a little flat, that might be because of the low resolution also.

@peterchen
Thx, i have the carpet with a hair plugin for cinema made. The stones in the background have a displacement map. Do the settings again revised. I am still working on it.

Hmm...donuts..

[Borgleader]

The first one is great...the reason i dont like the second one so much is that the texture has a seam in the center and it bugs me XD

But nice work anyway

[Phr0stByte]

I like the first one too - looks like candy.

[suvakas]

Haha, thanks... nevermind the seam..it's just the random crap I'm constantly producing while testing Maxigo code. Just picking maps randomly. The 2nd donut has like 4 different blend materials and 2 different UV channels. The most important thing is, that it works. Blends inside blends are working. Yay !!

Can we have an idea of what you blended with what?

[suvakas]

Sure..checked it out extra for you.. There are actually 6 blends, the base material is the same as for 1st donut...so..

Blend 1 = Orange + Green using a gradient map
Blend 2 = Blend 1 + Blue using a gradient map
Blend 3 = Phong + Null
Blend 4 = Blend 2 + Blend 3 using a checker map
Blend 5 = Blend 2 + Blend 4 using a checker map
Blend 6 = Blend 4 + White using Indigo Logo

I hope I got everything right

[Borgleader]

Why phong + null? I mean if i got it right the phong + null blend is where you get the transparent of your mesh from and...the checker map is used to determing the trasparent and colored parts.

Why not use transparent specular instead of phong + null? (or did you mean to test the combo)

[suvakas]

It renders faster than true specular. Phong is for reflections. Null is for transparency. If you look closer, then you can see the reflections on the "transparent" part.

[edit]
I edited the Blend list. There are actually 6 blends. Phong is blended with null and those 2 are blended with others using a checker. I missed that before.

It renders faster than true specular. Phong is for reflections. Null is for transparency. If you look closer, then you can see the reflections on the "transparent" part.

Oh well thats a neat trick...I didnt know that phong/null renderer faster ^.^
