Nice thread As Tesla observed, space is just an attribute... it can't be bent. Medium can. Space/distance/volume is without anything else. Even within nothing there's infinitely wast space. From nothing to nothing is immeasurable eternity of nothing. Don't know how but this seems to me perfect logic...

Rendering Glints on High-Resolution Normal-Mapped Specular Surfaces

this would be more than helpful here

Nice work. Can look at latest images (couple of days ago) from Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera: http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/ To me it's simple: water IOR + roughness caused by waves (which is never constant, so much noise) ... so as long as it feels 'real' Like in this 'closer' image: http://i.imgu...

no fireflies... nice clean caustics ... aaamaziiingly great you are

That would make sense. By reversed descriptive geometry have calculated ~3m distant light from ceiling portal (no mirrors, euclidean space). So mirrored space above with all the installation & materials (2-3 ray bounces, depends on where light is positioned) roughly makes it ~1 m high. Would like to...

Long time no use, but here's my test-try... on materials
Coating on copper - house
coating on exhaust - moto
double-sided thin - apple tree leaves

No post. Camera FCICD.

Thanks and great you all...

nice work

what are times on those renders & VRay GI settings on 3,4

here IBL is possible only on phong shader with exr or tiff image in emitter channel set to blackbody (btw you can open hdr & save exr with c4d picture viewer)... & question is: Is this process correct?
'cause whatever i do i can't influence the IBL strength

Light as you see it.

Don't render - simulate.
