Simple Renderings Thread

[pixie]

@Pixie:
Sorry mate: do you want the model for the materials, the scene or the simple basic 3d?
Because that is from the warehouse, maybe I could simply share the link!

I link would suffice, I would like to tweak it around.

[Pibuz]

So then: here it is!

hi, guyz!
<start of *that's my first approach indigo* stuff>
...
<end of *that's my first approach indigo* stuff>

my main goal was to make a realistic glass of water, so other stuff was added to make the scene more life-like.
but now after numerous test renders i want to hear some useful advices (especially about the composition).

[Lucidic]

Add some more colur to the scene and fix the tiles on floor and walls (the grouts should be in the corners).

danke shun!

[jarmenkell]

the funny thing about those tiles is that it is the realistic tile material from Indigo Database, but my Cinema4D made it look flat although all the dump and displacement maps are on..

but thanks for the advice anyway!

About the tiles:

A: scale the UVs so they look smaller on mesh. Their depth would look more appropriate then.
B: invert the "cube's" normal, since the camera is pointing within. Tiles are carving the surface atm.

You should create a wip thread if you are after numerous advices

It's probably due to light more then anything else.. that or wrong scales... imagine you have made your tiles with meters across where the bump is on mm you would then have a negligible bump

oh.. you're so right!.. i completely forgot about the normals.
btw, if i use that type of materials in Cinema, what type of "texture projection' should i use? when i apply Indigo mats to the models, Cinema automatically uses the "spherical" type of projection. with "tiled" mats it works not very good)

scales? i doubt that. everything is made in mm's, and Indigo's measurement units are also set to mm's. i'll check the normals)

You can use whatever projection suits you, cindigo will then convert it to UV

Everything may be done in mm, and usually the global scale is chosen accordingly, but if you set your tiles to have 1000mm we're still talking in meters. The bump are set in meters (therefore if you want to set 1 mm you would have then to set 0.001) I couldn't get Yves to change it to the the default used unit.

oh God, the attack of 1-meter tiles!! i take my words back, Pixie! thanks

Which realistic material it is btw?

Well you had just picked a procedural material, it's not like you stamp a texture into an object...

[jarmenkell]

i know that it is procedural, but i can't understand why does it looks so cool in the MatDB and why it doesn't do so in my test scene)
