Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi guys,
this is my contest entry on a german C4d board, topic was to show sth really small.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to submit Indigo version on technical issues (my fault) so i had to submit a vray rendered version as final.
Images look quite similar but i definetly prefer the Indigo version: so here it is!

Hope you like it, any kind of tips and tricks are welcome!
best regards

Took a lot of rendering! The final came out really nicely, top work mate

It's turtles, all the way down! Congrats, that's a nice render you've got here.

That looks great! How long did it take to render (and on what)?

I left it to render most of a weekend on two spare i7s at the Glare office; the strong DOF was pretty difficult to render clean, especially with the specular water bubbles.

Straight BiDir I'm guessing?

Nope, bidir with much improved experimental MLT.

Ooh! When are we getting it?

After Indigo 3.6 Stable release. It's working well but needs some raw speed optimisation to finish the job

Sweet. MLT seems to be a very universal method for rendering complex scenes. Happy to see it getting improvements.

same here, it's a nice initiative !

great! how did you model this? looks like a mandelbrot set

I tried to manage to create the shape with mograph turtle system first, but unfortunately i didn't manage to create it in a spherical or custom shape. In the end it worked out really well with xfrog plugin wich offers a solution for spherical phyllotaxis.
