gls123 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Back to vray. And some ps editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gls123 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nice Corona shots! Corona will not be free anymore by March or April. I am able to get similar results with Vray if I use vrayphysicalcamera but render time increases significantly. This one took about 3 minutes. Nice materials, lighting and render time Chiefer.

gls123 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Okay, back to Corona. Stopped both renders at the 2 minute mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Wow! care to share your settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gls123 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wow! care to share your settings? Sure. It really depends on the scene and lighting. For some interior scenes I bring the "Max sample intensity" down anywhere from 1.0 - 5.0. I get a low noise image in 2-3 minutes on my i5core laptop. For exterior scenes I have tried switching over to the bucket renderer and have gotten impressive results. I'll post examples and settings soon.

Chiefer Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks! I read somewhere that lowering the default 20 MSI to zero or in your case 1 to 5 works wonder. I'll try your settings. Thanks once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Just a suggestion that on some renders you should do post processing more in Photoshop. What I like to do is massively lighten up a picture on 1 layer, and then lightly erase back out sections that ended up too washed out with the original darker photo on the later below. Just messing with yours for 2 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My renders never turn out that great, but hey at least I try. LOL Here are a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 RayTrace with line drawing overlay. Be mindful that the OOB color for the line drawing is not actually black. I kept getting gray lines after the overlay until I realized that the black looking color was not black. The deep black allows you to adjust the opacity of the overlay layer a bit to finesse the image. P.S. How do you get the images to show larger than the thumbnails?

CJSpud Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Alan: Very nice. Ross: Your SS appliances look nice. How many passes to get your results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Curt, I believe around 18-20. I normally set them up and let them cook... While I cook. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Alan: If I click on your thumbnail, it expands to a nice sized photo on my monitor. Is that what you are asking? Ross: As you can see from these ray traces, I have never mastered them. Some different materials colors may have improved the image. This 1st one was done in 50 passes in about 12 minutes. The light I put near the floor behind the island is a litte to bright. I changed the angle of the 2nd image and it was done in 20 passes in under 6 minutes. The SS on the frig is definitely grainier the the 1st image. This image has a spotlight behind the camera brightening the scene as evident by the pendants' shades.

ragetoca Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Have you guys seen the rendering engine inside Envisioneer? Program it self is pretty lame but its rendering engine reminds me of Maxwell....very nice results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_Gavin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 A lot of good looking renders/ray traces look so good because of the overall design and composition. No matter what program you use you are not going to have impressive renders with 30" wall cabinets with space above, no crown molding, no refrigerator end panels, no tile splash, no pendant lights (where applicable) etc. I think good design (layout out, textures, materials, complete scenes) i.e. composition are more important to get prior to developing ray trace expertise. IF you are just doing simplistic scenes to experiment with ray tracing I can understand to some degree but I think better designed scenes will give more feed back as to what ray tracing can do. If you look back through some of the images in this thread the ones that pop all have those elements. My .02. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithhe Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Johnny, Another thread, see post 119 in this thread >>>> https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/3058-the-jon-caffee-post-production-workshop-in-january/page-6 All three are good, but the specific question you asked is the first download link in post 119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Johnny, that image uses the base ray trace with a line art layer and a composition of both, processed for vignette and bokeh in AlienSkin Exposure 7. Layer 1 (RT) blend is normal Layer 2 (Line) blend is Multiply w/42% Fill Layer 3 (Comp) blend is Overlay w/100% Opacity and Fill hope that helps. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 P.S. How do you get the images to show larger than the thumbnails? Alan, one way is through Photobucket. If you don't mind navigating through some adds and popups the free version will let you upload your images to your own "bucket". From there you can select the image and the following screen will let you create links to the image. For the forum I use the bottom one. Just click on it and it will copy the link, then when in the forum you hit the Paste Icon and the link is pasted into your post (the image won't show until you hit preview post or add reply buttons).

Rich_Winsor Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 As you can probably tell by now I have been amusing myself by having a play with tessellations and applying them as materials. I really like the way this particular one wraps the corners of the building. I can see this as a mosaic in Morocco or perhaps Santorini. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
