Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi to all!
Here my test with sun light:
10 hours


I would like have same shadows but with .exr map to have some clouds in the sky and mirrored by glasses... With .exr (I tried differents) I have only very soft shadow. Do you know some tricks?

i think there is no way to mix sunlight and exr.....but if its possible this its a wonderfull idea.....nick...?

Is it possible mix sun light and .exr??
Maybe texturizer "spec" glasses with .exr??
I'll try!

no man there is no way to mix exr with sun....but for reflections to your glass may try some plane with your map to reflect to the glass...

Thanks, I'll test!!!

Well, it looks pretty CGI. The wall and the floor look as they're lacking bump and the green material could use a workover. Make sure your window glass is double sided with an IOR of 1.5, it looks a little thin as of now.

Hi Skypa!
What does it meen "workover"?

Glasses are double sided, but on the left I put IOR=3.5 and rgb=1 because I wanted matte-glass effect (not completly transparent)!

For the bump I'll try to increase bump value!
Thanks!

For matte glass, I recommend applying a low-gain noise bump map to the second window layer, it'll look like matte, frosted glass. Play around with the gain value, its going to look a lot better.
(I assume you're looking for something similar to this?)
The green material ain't reflective enough, but isn't diffuse enough either for my taste. I'd say turn up a slider in one direction or the other, but this is completely subjective.
It's hard to see, but it seems that the stone bench strongly needs beveled edges, edges are never that sharp in reallife.
Oh, and a last one. Give it a little more contrast to the image in post-pro, it's a little washed out.

Keep it up, this can look nicely.

Thanks skypa for matte-glass. I try!!!
Me too I see this render like CGI and not real... but I didn't understand why... now I can do some changes and test!!!
Maybe I must move to "workinprogress".

last version...

evening version

afternoon version

I like but they don't seem a photos!!!
Any ideas??

The new ones are much much better imo.
...
but bevel your edges!

broken edges in postpro ...
and here the result

You can mix sun with exr, but you must render twice. Then you can combine the exr files (or png, but you will lose quality) .

Render once with sun, once with exr.

Good idea IanC!!
Thanks. I'll test and post!!
