Some new work

[lycium]

Awesome material indeed! Thanks for your contribution

Is that displaced a little?
Thanks Bubs!

Looking at the silhouette, I'd say yes.

[bubs]

No problems! It is displaced slightly. It actually just a recoloured version of the 'wool fabric' I previously uploaded. So the displacement from this can also be used on that one!

Had another go at this with a different chair. Decided to try letting Indigo figure out the bloom / volumetrcis too rather than my heavy handed approach for the last time! Used a method explained by Zom-B here http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... 5&start=15 I also raised the contrast a bit... I think it looks a lot better now.

I've been tinkering with this model of Tadao Ando's Benesse House for a while, and finally got a bit of time to try rendering it. I wanted quite a stylized image with heavy contrast and vignette, so that's what I did! I kept the Indigo render reasonably low in contrast to give me something to work with in the start. As a side note on post I often add in some 'dirt' in PS to help with realism... in this scene that was proving extremely difficult due to the curvature of the walls, so I did a very quick 'dirt' render for the walls and used this as an overlay in PS. Never done this before but it worked pretty well!

That does indeed look awesome! Great work

Cool! I hope you're going to do more shots of this scene.

The lights along the sides look a little green to me.

[Zalevskiy]

premium quality, nice render

[bubs]

Thanks guys!

Cool! I hope you're going to do more shots of this scene.

The lights along the sides look a little green to me.

I am actually trying another shot... trying to get some reflected caustics off the water and I think you're right about the lights, I was using a different monitor than I usually do, must have been something not quite calibrated correctly. I'll fix in place above.

[bubs]

Reflected caustics didn't come out quite as strong as I hoped , but I'm still pretty happy.

[Polinalkrimizei]

Great renders.

With that strong sun, it really looks like you were painting with light.

[Oscar J]

Sweet.

What are the render times for your renders? On what hardware? They're always so clean.

[bubs]

I'm not even sure it qualifies as hardware! a really very ordinary i5 with 8gb ram and the most basic gpu known to man... But I normally find if I'm doing something at between 6-10 megapixel I just leave it overnight and it's normally fine, or at most a few spots need a quick region blast

[zeitmeister]

Very cool!
Only the bump or displacement map of the water bothers me a little bit... maybe a nicer map would produce nicer results in caustics and refraction of the bottom.


Cheers, zeiti

[bubs]

It's not a map, it's ISL shader...

Been busy so missing here for a while! Firstly let me congratulate the Glare team on IR4 (better late than never... ) Great job all round!

Unfortunately I do not currently have a computer or graphics card that can really test 4 out so I'm still languishing in world of 3.8. But I think it still holds it's own!

Ono kindly put one of my older images in the gallery recently and I kinda cringed at the vegetation in it, so I thought I'd have a crack at a different angle with better grass etc.. the second is an evening shot of a previous scene requested by Oscar (again better late than never! )

Keep up the great work guys!
