Hi everybody, here's one I did last evening. Can't take much credit for it: concrete textures are by BbB and the set up is heavily inspired by
this picture.
But I made the model myself
C&C are welcome.

Looks really good Kåre. Very real.
Too bad the "shell" looks "edgy" due to lack of vertices.
Funny signature by the way.

You did a better job than I at making the fabric look correct:

that's now the third or fourth egg-chair in the history of Indigo

the very first was rendered with - I think - pre0.1, either 0.1 alpha or 0.1 beta
very nice but your chair gets edgy towards the frame and somewhat peaky. I guess, this chair would cut you, every time you sit down

Nice! Like it
Reminds me of one of the first really nice Indigo renders

(was it by u3Dreal?)

Thanks for the comments

. I rerendered it with a better mesh, so it ain't that edgy.
@Kram: hehe, I wasn't aware that there've been 3 before mine, but I do think I remember the first one. Long time ago in the old days

"Reminds me of one of the first really nice Indigo renders

Yes it was, ... still can be found on
flipcode! ;o))
@Kåre
Would be cool if you could render it longer. Especially the shader on the
chair should clean up a bit more to "make" this a beautiful picture!
take care

I tried to start a new rendering last night, but this morning the indigo window was irresponsive. It had stopped after 3h and 40 min. The strange thing was that the CPU still was used 100%, so I just left it and went to work hoping that it was still rendering... Has anyone expirenced something similar? BTW I'm using Wine under Fedora 8.

It seemed that it didn't calculate anything after the window became irresponsive, but now I had two pictures I could combine, and after some denoising in GIMP it turned out quite nice I think:

looks pretty good. Nice modelling and materials.
But... from a style point, my eye has an issue with the vertical lines on the wall and horizontal on the floor. I think the lack of skirting board doesn't help - it's a very abrupt join.

lol, didn't notice that, but now, that you mentioned it, I'd say, it forces your eye, to look to the edge and then get stuck, without being able to move^^
