Pens scene :)

beta · Post by **beta** » Mon Mar 31, 2008 10:29 pm

This idea came to my head and i decided to make it... but now i feel like there' something missing...

These are two fast tests (both renderered in 1 hour moreless...):
1st)

2nd)

(Some materials where changed in 2nd scene... but i think i'll keep 1st one...)
Maybe what i want is a floor like the one here...
Maybe some DOF too?

i thought it was just a glossy+metallic+an uv texture but when i try that, colors are gone and texture looks like black and brown only... just strange... so can anyone tell me how can i achieve that effect?

What do u think?
Feel free to comment...
Thx in advance!

propably its lighting problem...try some hdri instead of sun system.....whill give3 u more reallity and good light setup......and tweak your materials a litle after the hdr light may looks very different!!

Yes, try that hdr2exr.exe they recommend in the hdr-thread to convert any hdr 2 exr

yes exr i mean im sorry...(but its almost the same)
hdris is the most common used in all other 3d software i use.....

a lil off topic....i wonter why Ono choose this format....?

Thx to all... but then... should i keep the floor and put the exr like some type of sky? and do i have to remove the sun? i think so but i'm not sure...
btw can i create my own exr images with a camera and photoshop 7 or sumthing?

i never used an exr...

Do you use blender/blendigo?
Then you have to change in the environment tab to environment map, load the exr and you can delete the sun.

Huuuu ... I can understand the frustrating thing of many viewings and no posts ...

And what about slightly modify the point of view and composition of Your scene ?

I speak from an artistic point of view ...

In the second render, the squared wood patterns follow the imaginary lines drawned by the two pens that seems to be stricly parallels.
What about rotate at last one of the pens to break this kind of parallels in aim to create a dynamic, and maybe also rotate the floor tex ?

And last ... Blender can open an .hdri image format in the UV editor, and save it to the .exr format. I did it for tests purposes.

Hope it will help a lot.

Keep posting, I don't doubt Your idea have a great potential.

What about rotate at last one of the pens
