Such a fantastic feature.

Pane is textured diffuse_transmitter, leaves are 28% diffuse_transmitter 72% phong. Cropped 2x100px left and right.

Mixed pane with 33% null material. Rendering time was around 1h for first image and 40mn for the second (both MLT, sampling x2).

The dancing Bamboo (movie: 4s@12fps, 720x576/2 ~5mn30/200spp/frame).

Eat more Apples!

WoW they look really good but...the light reflections on the apples looks off to me. I'm thinking the exponent might be too low.

the fruit bowl is lit by a EnvMap + 5 studio lights. a light bump Map + a exponentMap with b @ 200 and IOR of 1.85.... maybe I should simply raise c by 20 and raise the IOR a little...
camera Tonemapping could enhance the reflections too... I'll keep on trying!

I think it all depends wether they were washed, varnished sometimes (with a thin edible wax layer) or just natural. I think they look perfect as natural, water washed but now dry, apples

exponent B seems already too high for the rough surface of natural apples, and C too low btw

So that really depends on how you want to qualify those apples, Zom-B, to me they are fine !

Great texturing job ZomB. Very nice!

Ok, here the final image...

Tweaked bump Map + Exponent Map and also some settings to get some nice polished waxy apples

Camera tonemapping used with a sharp MN Filter with Ring = 0.5 and Blur = 0.

A little color correction in PS, also some denoising for the BG a slightly sharpen filter and enhanced vignetting plus some glow.

I call this one final!

very nice rendering!

apples are a bit too shiny for my taste, but i guess it depends...

Posted: **Wed Dec 17, 2008 9:04 pm**

apples that shiny are usually a bit deeper and richer in color. The lighter colored ones don't usually have such a rough specular effect. Or possibly I've never seen waxed apples. Just a little more color richness.

Whatever, you would peel and eat it the same way

Less waxy ftw!
