Why are you rendering at that high of a resolution?... are you trying to sell it on photostock or something?

Print.

For what?...

You could always just render it at a lower resolution for the site, you know.

Or if you don't feel like wasting time on that, feel free to send the scene to me.

For my wall

I'm actually rendering at 1973x3508 (A4 height @ 300dpi) but will probably get it printed at A3 size, should be plenty enough pixels for that.

First attempt at changing focus spot was too extreme so shifted back out a mm and upped the res to A4 size. It's now probably ok but I'm not entirely sure I like having the DoF effect really...in fact when it get home from work if I am not 100% happy with what I see I'm going to switch back to original point of focus and start render again

Well, the DOF worked well (I think), with my render of a diamond in the gallery, so that's what I was envisioning for your rings.

Well it was worth a try at least

So I take it you didn't like the outcome?..

Post it, at least

I'm at work...won't see the result for about 7 hours yet. Even then it will probably only be at about 1000spp by that point. Should be enough to see whether the effect is good or bad though...

Oh sorry.

Thought you meant you were already home and had stopped the render.

Just for you Zilla.

I think this is ok. It's subtle enough to keep me happy

...so I'll let it run full length. Should be done by the end of the week. There's still quite a bit of convergence required in the bump mapping yet...

Ono if you like the look of this version then I'll get the full res version to you once it's cooked.

~2000spp. Reduced by 50%.

...and indigo just crashed...so I guess I'm starting all over again :/

Now if only that auto crash recovery thing I suggested had been implemented....

Oh well it's as good an excuse as any to lower the exponent on the gold just a little bit...

Still cant help but smile when thinking about you didnt even know that was possible until I told you

There's an on old saying that applies here I think and goes a little something like this "assumption is the mother of all f***ups"

Aw, no White backdrop.

And, are you auto-saving the .igi file? you could just do that, lol.

WytRaven · Post by **WytRaven** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:43 am

If I enable auto igi saving, which I have done, I can't network render because I get crashing on frame upload. Pretty sure it's ram related and there is no mac 64bit build...which I have now requested on multiple occasions with not so much as an acknowledgement from the Glare team.

..it's like linux builds all over again
