Simple bulb

On SubdivisionModeling forum there is a little rendering challange: a bulb.

I downloaded the model provided, imported in Cinema4D and exported in Indigo format. Rendertime = 4 hours with 3 networked PC. As you can see there's a little geometry error... pardon

Here's the image, mrmoose

This, one could easily be mistaken for a photo. If you hadn't mentioned the error, I wouldn't have noticed it. Fantastic! (You entered it in the challenge, right? And it won first place, right?

@mrmoose

Maybe this will help you a bit to get the DOF right. ;o))

One thing to remember when reading about DOF is that Indigo does not use the same format for aperture as a camera does. For a camera when you set an aperture of f/4 this means that "the aperture opening has a diameter of the focal length divided by 4". Indigo uses radius, not diameter so the conversion between camera and Indigo aperture becomes:

indigo_aperture_radius = sensor_lens_dist / camera_aperture / 2

Really great render mrmoose. Terrific.

Can you tell me which hdr you used in the scene?
I'd like to try to replicate the look myself.
