i think you should set the background settings in the igs-file, not in the mats-xml

Hi, here is a test render of my Renault. there are still some faults, like the glass
greetz elix

i gave up 3ds max and use blender for 1,5 years

alter schwede...
looks really good

Hi, are you Benjamin B. (Thora_2097)?
i remember your fantastic kitchen pic from 2005, and I'm excited about your stunning renderings. you think indigo is already on a maxwell level?

greetz

it's a very good description!

thanx

while you answered i edit the post

maybe there are different ways? i took this and it worked well: <material> <name>Spiegel</name> <specular> <normal_reflectance>300.87</normal_reflectance> <ior>5.0</ior> <transparent>false</transparent> <cauchy_b_coeff>0.0</cauchy_b_coeff> <rgb_absorptivity>0 0 0</rgb_absorptivity> </specular> </mat...

set the "ior" up to 5, i think then you get a perfekt mirror

so heres is an overnight rendering, i have to tweak more but i think i change the scene (meshes and lamp and tex)first to make it less boring

a fast test:


i changed
tonemapping: linear, scale 30000000
skylight: skygain 0.01

color of the sphere
<meshlight>: temperature to 1000, gain to 100

aaah again!
this is the place where i can change easily the color of the emitted light,
i.e. temperature down to 2000 and gain up (factor 100)gives yellow light

aaaah, thanx a lot, difficult to find, its at the end of the objekt's xml text, but is this objekt-orientated? for global changes (a few emitters with same settings)i think it is better to change only sky gain (low) and linear-scale (high) so there are different ways for tweaking the lights, and now...

thanx for replies:D i try linearmapping because i think that there is a bigger variety, maybe i'm wrong :) in the xml i can't find an emit_gain... <material> <name>Emit</name> <phong> <diffuse>0.980 0.952 0.874</diffuse> <specular>0.500 0.500 0.500</specular> <fresnel_scale>0.800</fresnel_scale> <ex...

hi, i tried this settings for example: linear tonemapping, scale up to 4 <skylight> sky-gain:200000.00, <turbidity> 3, material: emit <exponent>50000000.00 so the sun was rendered nice, but emit was black i'm only "end-user", so i'm not so fit in editing xml. the pic above is still rendering (17,5h ...
