Give us an update.

hi all! sorry it took a while for this update. was working on some glass materials, and lighting, have added a simple background to the scene. have to work-out a faster way to render, currently it takes 22 hrs to render the entire scene with all the glass objects! :cry:

what i was doing is leaving my machine on the whole day while i was at work, but for the past week because of Divali, there have been power cuts during the day(my ups only lasts 1/2 hr

) anyway, managed a render over the weekend. so here it is.

22 hrs for rendering which renderer are you using and what's your systems specs ?

by **chaitanyak** » 23 Oct 2006, 14:12

using the regular scanline renderer( with light tracing) on max 8( any one tried max9 yet?) will try mental ray later.

sys specs as follows:

1gb ram
amd athlon 64 3200 (2ghz)
xp pro sp2( my xp 64 edition expired

)
nvidia geforce FX 5200 (128 mb ram)

i think the prob might just be the glass material, coz i have never had the problem before

ok, and heres the background elements ive added

Hi Chaitanak, your updates is great.

by **veeray** » 23 Oct 2006, 18:49

Yes, it does look pretty good. My only question that I'm pondering is that for the theme "garden", is there enough vegetation showing? I mean, maybe creating a location, such as inside a lab or a room, where there would be less reflection, so you could see more vegetation through the glass...?

by **chaitanyak** » 24 Oct 2006, 05:11

valid point... about th theme... hmm..
have an idea how to get more plants to show.. will update shortly

by **warpv** » 24 Oct 2006, 17:35

Yeah, the glass is a little too reflective...might want to tone that down a little, so that we can see the plants better...but other than that, it looks great! Keep it up!

ok iv'e switched to mental ray now, and for glass am using the "phyysics phenomena " glass material. render time with gi and without caustics is now 1:30 hrs only.! yippee!

am rethinking my layout a bit and adding more plants(not encased in glass) so the scene has a more "garden" feel... will post soon

by **chaitanyak** » 30 Oct 2006, 00:51

have to workout the light levels, so they match the earlier renders ...

by **XAN_the_almighty** » 30 Oct 2006, 14:37

Man i think you have to work out the super samling for the glass.

by **ashras99** » 30 Oct 2006, 16:40

i agree with Xan

by **chaitanyak** » 14 Nov 2006, 12:25

am running out of time, and this glass material and mental ray are giving me hell! (guess its my fault for using stuff i have no experience with)

ok heres whats happening, :

i'm getting these specks in the glass when i render, doesn't happen when i render with just a couple of objects, happens when i populate the scene with everything. am attaching images so far...

somebody help! if you know how to fix this, let me know please

by **ashras99** » 14 Nov 2006, 13:54

These are looking like a reflection. Please try to render with one side of glass and other pipes and all. To figure out the problem you have to check with some objects and then increasing slowly.

Dont render full image every time, just render a small part for exact idea of problem.

by **chaitanyak** » 15 Nov 2006, 03:45

will try that
