The Patio

I tested the 0.7 test 7 with a scene I already tried to render without success, I'm quite satisfied with the result. I had to render it twice, once with Bidir and once without otherwise the curtains on the left side were very dark with Bidir (I used SSS on them).

Edit : Rendering took about 7h (Bidir version), I used neat image to remove the noise

C&C are welcome

BiDir doesn't work with sss???

Nice scene! Very mixed architecture. Is it a render of an existing building, a architectural visualization of things to come or did you just think of it?

very, very nice picture enricocerica - but you know that

one thing that bothers me is the noise. if you saved an igi you could resume
the render and let it cook some hours more.

I wouldn't like to be the glass cleaner in your house, but it's a nice picture !

The curtains are odd by the way, maybe too transparent ?

yes, much glass

Looks great!
SSS should work with BiDir, as long as you're using 0.7.6 or 0.7.7

nice interior! it would be nice to see a bit of the exterior urban landscape instead of a void though.
looks like the even lighting is a result of using daylight and artificial lighting at the same time. the daylight naturally is a much more diffuse light.
try rendering the same scene, except with a black background. might be more along the lines of what Radiance is talking about.

Thanks to all,

@mrCarnivore: It's not a existing architecture, just something I imagined.

@Manitwo: I will start a new render and I'll try saving in igi to resume it later.

@Kram1032: You are right, SSS and Bidir seem to work with the 0.7.7 I used but the result is very dark and I can't achieve the translucent result I whould like.

@Radiance: Yeah, I used your technic for the lamp over the table. I will extend it to the spots and render the scen without sun light.

@StompinTom: You are right, this is a daylight scene and the combination with the spots does not provide a nice lighting fx. I should probably render it with sun or with spots but not with both.

you have to use very low SSScoefficients....
0.01 or so

Hi,

I updated the post with a new day version and a night one.

@kram1032 : I used 0.01 without success

I finally postprocessed it with Gimp.

Night version is fantastic enricocerica!
And day version looks better I think (bit less noisy?)
