Sculptures and weird materials.

[SimonLarsen]

Just playing around with different sss-settings and the Sculpture Generator.
Nothing special. (:


(Yes, i know it could use some subsurf. )

[Kram1032]

those are just GREAT
may you post the materials?

[SimonLarsen]

Sure.

First sculpture:

Code: Select all

	<medium>
		<name>SSS_sculpture</name>
		<precedence>10</precedence>
		<basic>
			<ior>1.5</ior>
			<cauchy_b_coeff>0</cauchy_b_coeff>
			<absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
				<rgb>
					<rgb>20 20 0</rgb>
				</rgb>
			</absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
			<subsurface_scattering>
				<scattering_coefficient_spectrum>
					<rgb>
						<rgb>130 0 0</rgb>
					</rgb>
				</scattering_coefficient_spectrum>
				<phase_function>
					<henyey_greenstein>
						<g_spectrum>
							<uniform>
								<value>0.05</value>
							</uniform>
						</g_spectrum>
					</henyey_greenstein>
				</phase_function>
			</subsurface_scattering>
		</basic>
	</medium>
	<material>
		<name>SSS_sculpture</name>
		<specular>
			<transparent>true</transparent>
			<internal_medium_name>SSS_sculpture</internal_medium_name>
		</specular>
	</material>

Second sculpture:

Code: Select all

	<medium>

		<precedence>10</precedence>
		<basic>
			<ior>3</ior>
			<cauchy_b_coeff>0</cauchy_b_coeff>
			<absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
				<rgb>
					<rgb>0 50 50</rgb>

						<rgb>0 0 300</rgb>
					</rgb>
				</scattering_coefficient_spectrum>
				<phase_function>
					<uniform/>
				</phase_function>
			</subsurface_scattering>
		</basic>
	</medium>
	<material>

			<internal_medium_name>SSS_sculpture</internal_medium_name>
		</specular>
	</material>

first mat:
"baby"
second mat:
"red syrup"
What do you think?

I dont get the baby part?

But the second one was in the beginning something like "mix of jam, quicksilver and... something blue"

[daniel_nieto]

baby might be like the colors fabricants use to make its toys, for babies, i think.... looks very niiiiiiiice btw!

[Kram1032]

light blue
light(ish) pink....

male baby
female baby

ok.... the pink is sort of a hot pink...
It was a quick association.

[SimonLarsen]

Oh, now i get it.

Btw, thanks daniel_nieto.

WOW very nice work Simon
Send your pictures at Carlo is pleased nevertheless. Email: sequin@cs.berkeley.edu

PS:
If you create something beautiful and decide to show/publish/sell your results,
you should provide a reference to the program:

fantastic materials... just one question though - how tall/thick are your sculptures ?

[Marcofly]

mmmmh!!!! lovely baby material!!

[rluiten]

Lovely materials.
Just curious what size is the main object is it around 6 units high [meters in indigo anyway] ?

I was tinkering with http://www2.indigorenderer.com/joomla/f ... =8824#8824 the scene from this. No matter what I did I could not get the scene as dark as the shown image. Yes i realise it is with older version of exporter and Indigo.
If you happen to be using the same scene which looks like it did you try with getting a darker picture ?

About 95 cm high and 30 cm thick.

@rluiten

I haven't really studied his scene but it looks pretty much the same, yes.

It just gray diffuse walls, the "box" the sculpture is standing on is a gray phong and there's white emitter plane above the sculpture.

I might do a rerender to see if i can get a darker background.

I don't get where the granular aspect of the second one comes from, is that a bump or something ? Blooming maybe, and the threshold catches some rays through the material... Interesting.

There's no bump and no bloom, but the high IOR is making it look strange.
And the odd blue sss that you cant see but still affects it a lot.

Very, very strange material.
