Simple Renderings Thread

Hey pixie,

I tried it too with the mirror-ball, but no matter what I'm doing I get blurred results.
Would you mind to share your mirror ball material, and your exact f-stop and exposure duration settings?

Thank you very much!

You have to mess with the igs itself:

Code: Select all

<aperture_radius>0.000001</aperture_radius>

This should do the trick, as for the exposure_duration tag it's relative to the amount of light your scene has, but let's say for the sake of it you start with 1, yet it's pitch black, what you have to do is in indigo to grow the EV adjust value so that you find the correct balance, then for each EV you'll double the duration:

EV: 5
exposure will be: 1 2 4 8 16 32

Ah, these are great tipps...
thank you very much; I'll try it!

Astounding textures and model overall Impulse.

Isn't the exponent to high for the leather material (too shiny) ? That didn't appear to me but in the third pic.

How about introducing a very fainted Oren-Nayar to underline bump better ? Wait, that Oren-Nayar thing is theorical

dcm: keep them coming

Very nice renderings DCM and Impulse!

Based on this free available data I tried to get a head rendered in Indigo. I used a blend of 2 phong materials, with low IOR vs high IOR. No SSS was harmed in this rendering... I give it a try with SSS at some later point. IOR & Exponent is a little to high for my taste...

EnvMap only, pure Indigo output without post processing!

don't like the guy'ss haircut.



seriously. amazing. some fo the best skins I've seen. Maybe I haven't seen enough? do you have other human skin examples to compare it to?

If you want to give sss a try you should consider modeling what's beneath dermis as rosee-ish tinted, light gray mass. If you dont it will be hard to have an accurate effect.

You can use a lower (sculpted ?) subdivision mesh with a constant negative displacement on it. If it's not too much trouble to set up it should definitly look better than without !

Thanks for the comments guys... but remember, I just threw the provided files into Indigo. Only some texture & material magic was done by me!

A so called well-arranged Haircut, easy to maintain and quite near to my actual involuntary hairstyle

The provided data has only one diffuse map, normal map, Displacement map and a DUDV map. Everybody is free to give it a try!
I had to do a map for blending 2 skins together by mixing maps in PS.
Biggest problem here is that Indigo only supports 0 to 1 displacement map, not a "centralized" -1 to +1mapping.
Afaik this could be done in ISL, I need to ask fused if he could do some Cindigo magic here with a simple checkbox

Yes, this procedure is quite some pain in the a**! Rendertimes are also hilarious... I played with this long time ago, with cubes, spheres etc. Also no diffuse colormap is usable with this dermis/epidermis model!
A one material Skin material would be the way to go here.

Anyway, there are a lot more important fixes, features etc. for Indigo then this very, very rarely used feature!
