Hi :-)

Here's my first full render on Indigo. Sorry for the big resolution: it was meant to be used as a desktop background (1280x1024):

Any sugestions?

Cheers!

Nice work, how many mesh lights is your scene lit with? And what's the spec of your pc.

Hi!

Thanks for your comment :)

None. HDRI only.

It's a Core Duo laptop w/ 1Gb DDR 2 (LG P1 Express Dual). It was giving me about 50000 mutations p/ sec. It took 24h to render the scene.

I'll post the XML once I get home.

Any ideas for improvement?

Cheers!

Well.. you could turn dispersion on (set cauchy b coeff to something like 0.005)
But then the scene would take a week to render instead of 24 hours :)

What would be the effect of dispersion?

Light would be decomposed into a spectrum; the first iterations would be colourfull, because with dispertion 1 ray = 1 wavelenght (1 colour of the spectrum).

Nice concept, but aren't these squares artifacts of some sort ? HDRI texture maybe, or insuffisent ray depth ? Or not artifacts at all maybe...

I'm curious to see the same scene with some mesh lights, may not be interesting tho...
