Simple Renderings Thread

[dakiru]

Little byproduct for a next LED lighting project. Not quite 100% accurate (yet) but good enough for some lighting simulations and the SIMPLE Renderings Thread .

Cool tech stuff. Can't wait for those "SIMPLE" simulation renders

A gigantic one if you think about the size of the floor tiles

Yes, you are right, I hoped that no one will notice it
OR: I used a special bonsai wood for the floor tiles

Thats what I'll ask in such a case from now on, awesome

Um.. Nothing real fancy here, just an interior with a snake in it :3



I can never seem to do any sort of interior render without some reptile in the image.
It's my friend's royal/ball python "Julius Squeasar" ^^ (Using a photo of his snake as my avatar)
Though the texture is more like a Burmese texture, but I don't have any royal python textures.

22 hours and 30 minutes rendering, and next sampling update expected in another 22 hours? *huffs* I really wish I could have my desktop working on this instead of my laptop but I've only got one license!

Indigo RT, and only a single Sunlight. Aperture Diffraction enabled, which was in hindsight probably unneeded and a bad idea


Hm.... Would adding a second light to the scene help grain clear up faster? I've never really had any luck with multiple lights in a sunlit scene. No matter what intensity or light type I set the other lights to, they never show up *shrugs*
Oh well, still learning I am =)

What render mode are you using? Try BiDir with exit portals, it should be much faster. I like your scene, although the table looks a little over-saturated, and the snake could use some kind of bump map.

For that image it was Pathtracing with BiDir.
The snake is using a bump map, and in an earlier render of mine that was dimly lit it showed up... But I was using a different diffuse texture then. ^^ It's harder to see the bump on this one. I upped it from 0.013 to 0.023 for the next render.
I also added in the Exit Portals and changed to MLT with BiDir to see what happens.
As for the table... I dunno. I guess I could change the texture, or reduce the saturation a bit... The texture I was using was quite saturated to begin with.


I'll attach an image once I let it render for a bit. Thanks for the feedback ^_^

*edit* Well here it is with light portals and MLT BiDir rendering.
I can't see the fence I had outside the window anymore though. I lost the camera I was using before so had to pick a new angle. Added a plant with the new Two-Sided Thin material, and adjusted the snake's pose a bit (His tail was intersecting with the couch in the background before). Also reduced the saturation on the wood material by 10%

45 minutes of rendering time.

*edit 2* Second image is the result of five hours of rendering.

Nice image and concept Rezca

But your Snake would defenetly be happy about some bump, normal or displacement map! Exponent map and/or fresnel skale map would help to to give the scales a more natural look

I can't see the fence I had outside the window anymore though.

Meshes behind ExitPortals don't get rendered anymore!

Thanks ^^

I disabled the color and rendered it for a while and the bump really isn't showing up very well at all. I thought it was the texture at first, since I had gotten a nice bump to show up with the bumpmap I'm using in a different render... Hm.

I'll have to look into that, though I wouldn't know the best way to go about making one ^^

Ah yes, only a few hours after I started rendering I read about that.



Also two more simple renders~
One I was in the mood for glowy things in a dark room, the other was an attempt at caustics.
23 minutes rendering and seven hours rendering. Technically I felt it had cleared up enough at one hour, but I let it continue polishing away while I went to bed.

First scene is definitely simple! One plane object, some extruded primitive objects with a blackbody emission texture on the inside, and some splines in a sweep object. Simple! But I had fun making it.

Sweet atmosphere in that image.
Some more work on the materials and that can become quite a beauty #

P.S. voting for some ugly aliens floating in the tanks instead of palmtrees

nicecity ?
