Wrong kind of blender.

This is a picture I made to enter a competition on BlenderNation. Which, I am pleased to say, I won with the blender internal version. So I thought I'd have a go at rendering it with Indigo.

This is the Blender version:

And this is the Indigo version:

Hmmm....
Three things I miss:
the red-blue colour of the blender
the deep orange of Mancandy
Motion blur of the knife (which isn't your fault

)

Looks nice thought

The blender definitely has a certain something, doesn't it. Didn't translate it very well...

Maybe I'll try again.

the blender is 100% diffuse, right?

DaveC · Post by **DaveC** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 5:32 am

Nope. It's glass. I know, I know. It doesn't look like it. Weird, huh?

not reflective at all....
sure you hit "transparent" and used IOR 1.52?

DaveC · Post by **DaveC** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 5:58 am

well, ior wasn't that high. and it was glossy transparent. with a nice high exponent. so more plastic than glass. but, i'm doing it again, with glass this time... fingers crossed and thumbs held.

you should use less SSS

and try giving it a way of a yelowish tint (non uniformal SSS) use specular instead of glossy_transparent and a IOR of plexy-glass
(which is 1.4, as far as I know...)

Edit: Wikipedia says 1.492 IOR

DaveC · Post by **DaveC** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 6:04 am

Well, the SSS is only in the mancandy figure, the phong is only in the blades at the bottom, and, and, I'm trying a higher IOR. And removing the ground plane. and this was supposed to be a finished artwork! lol

Don' get, what you mean with IOR just in mancandy...
Is the wall of the blender glass/plastic or isn't it?

Phong was wrong material from my side xD
You should use specular instead of Glossy-Transp! (I Edited this in upper post)

The indirect lighting is obviously a plus in the Indigo one, but it doesn't have that kinetic look. I don't really expect it to though, like I don't expect Indigo to do cel-shading.

Congrats on the win, that was a great pose.

Everybody is talking about the renders and I can't see them...

Mom, am I different than the others?

Wrong kind of blender.
