[JeffPatton]

Some great stuff here. Nice job!

[hot chip]

hey nice picture ;)

here ist a test rendering from my second tutorial V2 " physcial correct atmosphere a oben room. What you can good see, is that we have no atmosphere outside from the room. Now you can simulate a camera animation from outside to inside.

Hello,
here are some more testrenders. I'm currenty working on a underwater scene. Animating displaced waves that cast volumetric caustic into murky water using the parti_volume, parti_photon shaders.

TO: Hot Chip

Hi!! I am MR user from Taiwan

When I found the German Mental ray forum from your post,

I was surprised to all the amazing topics that never found in
Taiwan.

But coz the language problem, I can't easily enjoy in all what you chat about..../_\


By the way...

Could u translate ur tut to English version or make some short outline of your tut u post above??

and I will find some 'translator sites' to make me able to join your forum ...^^


P.S. Sorry about my bad English...

[hot chip]

hi pingupingu,

thanks for the comment. In the next time we have a update Forum V2. In this update can you switch from german to english layout. Ask & answer can you write in english on the forum when you whant. The user Carlos (programmer from Blendal) write only in english on the german mental ray forum. Why not... ;)

and ....

This is at this time my privat project: Sea Orbiter http://forum.german-mentalray-wiki.info/viewtopic.php?t=89&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Hot chip > looks good!
mentalBoy > nice volumetrics! but isnt it too time expensive? maybe some post work can do the thing?

[mentalBoy]

Hot chip > looks good!
mentalBoy > nice volumetrics! but isnt it too time expensive? maybe some post work can do the thing?

the underwater scene that im gonna use for animation now takes 7 mins/frame in HD720 without passes. with passes it takes a few minutes more..

the cornell box was harder on the cpu. about 1 hour. but that includes Final gather and global Illumination.

[nisus]

Yeah, the german forum seems to be very good. Language might be a prob though... gonna learn german!

Hi

Here is my current WIP project, playing with lights and test of ambient occlusion pass render, mixed in photosop

[Tkaos]

Nice stuff everybody, I'll try to post some mines asap.
Hey, hot chip, what kinf of material did you apply on your chair ? is it a velvet shader ? or did you use the new mia shader ?

I like it :)

[hot chip]

hi tkaos,

thanks for this comment, the shader from the chair is the mia_architectual (archi&design). I have use the leather preset from the archi&design material from Max.

same presets for maya download: http://www.4shared.com/file/8212053/26d8948f/archmat.html

same presets as mi-file format for XSI or Blender, can you download here: http://forum.german-mentalray-wiki.info/viewtopic.php?t=243
(for visibility downloads on the gmrf, you must registered)

[Tkaos]

Thank you Hot Chip, presets seems to be good :)
Anyway nice image toaster :p what kind of light ? GI ? or FG multibounces ?

[Dodgeas3d]

Vorek > great scene! this gonna rock !

Toaster > this one looks smooth, nice mats and lighting.

[Toaster]

Thanks for comments. I used 2 lights area light scaled to match the window and a light behind the camera to match the window behind camera. FG only 2 bounces. This was done before the arch mats so I would like to try this again using them. Someday:D

[pingupingu]

Hot Chip> thanks a lot for all your information!
