Oscar's rendering thread

[Oscar J]

Here's the final version of the scene + a quick test of a new one.

Nice!

Is that panorama render actually stitched post render or rendered with spherical lens?

[Oscar J]

After rendering for eight hours, I accidentally checked a setting in the materials window, and my render disappeared. Where the heck is my render? Where does Indigo autosave to?

[Oscar J]

Wait... does Indigo autosave every 60 seconds, and delete the older autosaves?

[CTZn]

saving period can be set to a larger value; indeed Indigo is writing to temp files before overwriting the image(s). I never heard of an incremental save per rendering session though it might have been requested already.

[Oscar J]

Thanks CTZn.

How stupid is that... If an unexperienced user accidentally restarts his render, he has exactly 60 seconds to find his old render in a folder that's selected by Indigo on his computer, before it's overwritten. It even keeps autosaving the new render after you have stopped rendering! Not very user friendly if you ask me, and very frustrating.

[Oscar J]

I decided not to uninstall Indigo after all ( ) and let it render overnight again.
C&C are welcome!

[Oscar J]

Yet another fast rendering for my website.

C&C welcome

I really like the muted colours in the last one, but the lens flare kinda takes too much attention from the car maybe. Anyway this is great compositing work!

[FoXar]

Really great work on the Artega and Enzo render. Looking forward to the finished Aston render.

Regarding the Aston image, I don't feel that the picture is about the car, it blends in too much (that might be a good thing too though..)

[Oscar J]

Thx guys, I'll get back to that scene. Meanwhile I'm setting up a studio for the Aston, and it's a major pain in the arse, because I've got to place the lights so that the bumps and inaccuracies in this old model of mine doesn't become too obvious.

Here's a 15 min render, C&C are welcome of course.

[OnoSendai]

Looking good. is floor bumpy/wavy?

[Oscar J]

I don't think so. Why?

[OnoSendai]

The reflection of the car looks distorted to me. Maybe it's an illusion.

[Oscar J]

I thought so at first too, but I double checked that it was flat. Still I get that feeling... I'll probably tone down the reflections slightly in the final render.
