You better have a widescreen monitor

Still rendering. Imperfect, yet not bad.

Nice stuff. I like the reflections in the glass. Man, that and the sun must have slowed down your render quite a bit. Did you model the chairs in the foreground? Because if not, www.modelup.com is selling a very nice, detailed model of this chair and it only costs 99c. I bought one straight away.
One more thing: Do you think you can share this carpet texture? It's really handsome and it fits perfectly in the colour scheme of a scene I'm working on right now.

[Stinkie]

I didn't model a single thing in the scene, except for the landscape in the background, and an exit portal that surrounds everything. All the furniture comes from FormFonts - a good resource for SU components. I know I'd better had put in some high poly components, but I didn't have any - so thanks for the tip.

The carpet texture comes with a FormFonts carpet. Regrettably I can't share it, because it's copyrighted.

As for the rendering speed, I can't check right now (I'm at work), but I believe it was around 12 hrs (on an octo core). I'm gonna let it cook for 24 hrs more, I think.

looks really good, except that I think the white chair is floating a little off the ground - it's feet don't touch it's shadows

[Stinkie]

Thanks. I think you could be right there. I'll check later. Bit of an oversight.

amazing!
The plants need some different colours, though, I guess - or maybe it's 'cause they look so diffuse...

It would need hell a lot of time (maybe not that much with an 8core) but what about using dr. Bouvier Leduc's plant material? (you only need to switch the textures)

[Stinkie]

Yeah ... those plants. I'd like to use some sss on them, to put some more 'life' in the edges of the leafs, but that's a bit out of my league right now. Sss and blending - haven't got those figured out (I understand practically nothing of rendering's technical side). I'll look in to that material you mentioned. Might come in very handy.

Check this thread!

The Doctor has made very interesting experiments..

Nice image!!

There you go, that's the thread I meant

the actual interesting part with the plants starts here:

but you should still look through all of it, because there are some other very interesting mats, right at the beginning

Are you using a glass with thickness or the Thin Glass preset? Looks good!
I think the brick floor and bump is nice, no tiling. Is that a sketchup material?

[Stinkie]

I've used the thin glass preset - really useful, that one. The tiles on the floor are an Arroway texture, as are some other textures in the scene.

[Marcofly]

do you mean the glass is a plane? and what is the thin glass preset? i always thought that you needed a thickness, to make it work correctly..

Thank you..

the thin glass presetm is a blend of a high exponent phong with IoR 1.52 and a null material, of, I think, 50%
That way, the glass renders far faster, but it also looks a bit grey/dusty...

A big screen for a big space, nice an unusual ! Maybe up a jpg next time, it took several minutes to download here

SkIndigo Thin Glass:
Blend of 80% Null, 20% Phong with IOR=1000 Exp=1000000

Advantage:
Don't need volume, direction of normals does't matter, sun-light goes through glass easily, works great for windows

Disadvantage:
Fresnel reflection is neglected, not useful for glassware or curved surfaces

I might change it so that it is 20% Specular with IOR=1000 (non-transparent). I think this works, too, and the rendering speed should be even faster.
