Hi All,

Been working on this on and off since December last year. All modeling in Blender, rendering in Blender Internal and more recently Indigo (of course!).

WIP thread for the progress so far is located at Blenderartists.org.




The black headlights is a resolved issue, and a new render is in the works. After just over an hour it's at 130 samples/pixel, so I think it's going to be left overnight and possibly for half of tomorrow.

Comments and Criticism appreciated.

black glass-materials sound like inversed normals

[Nitronic755]

Normals were fine, problem was the emitters turned black behind specular glass due to bidirectional being enabled. Problem was initally posted at http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/fo ... 2740#62740.

Oh, ok

Great modelling, btw And quite a long term project O.o

Update:

[Kram1032]

as-is, the lights also are good
Oh, btw. The settings I gave you, are for use @ night, only... If you want to see the light @ sun light or with a standard HDR (not from a night scene), you'll need to use far higher wattage, even if it's incorrect.
(Blackbody temperature can stay the same, it doesn't matter)
The lights get black at bright day because the dynamic range of the image is too limited to show the glow... Where our eyes with far wider dynamic range still see the light

Thanks for the heads up...

Quick update, some close shots of the lamps.

great though, shouldn't the "walls" of the "lightchamber" (I hope it's clear what I mean) be reflective, rather than diffuse?

[Nitronic755]

In reality they're carbon fiber, which is quite dull, but I haven't textured it properly yet.

Oh, carbon fiber? I see
