Igor's renderings

igor · 28 Apr 2008, 19:56

shhh! im letting another one render during math class (its boring and i already know the stuff). just more reflective TINs. nothing special... almost

igor · 30 Apr 2008, 00:07

ok, i lied. the render during math didnt turn out too well (the render didnt turn out well, everything else was fine). but ive go another baking right as i type. its nothing special, just me playing around w/ extremly high poly spheres. it almost crashed my computer! just one sphere has 5000 faces!

ps. can someone pleas reply? i mean, besides me. i would like some helpful critisism. plus no one has responded to this thread for a while besides me and possibly Remus. thanks!

Oh sorry, I thought it rude to interrupt a man playing with his balls.

igor · 30 Apr 2008, 00:12

oh, ha ha.
very funny.

and its not a ball its a sphere. see the difference?

*edit: here it is! (i know, not the cleanest render in terms of noisy-nes, but still good). ha ha! bryce came out backwards! lol

here is another. i know, very basic shape that everyone has made like 5 times. but whatever.
my only complaint is that i couldnt find a way to smooth the edges, so i had to hide them instead, making a very blocky shading pattern. anyone know how to fix this?

nice renders!
i like the very first one, the car and the TIN.

igor · 30 Apr 2008, 19:33

im glad you like them, julius. ive got another one going right now (im in study hall with nothing to do). its just more reflective TINs, but with intersections added in. ie: i used "intersect with ______" along with the TINs. it looks cool, trust me.

oh, and happy birthday to me! (it my birthday)

bubbalove · 30 Apr 2008, 20:06

Happy B-day... you should try using bump maps on the floor!

Julius · 30 Apr 2008, 21:33

btw, if you can't get indigo to work, why don't you try Kerkythea?

igor · 1 May 2008, 05:36

here it its. i think it came out good. more views coming soon!

igor · 2 May 2008, 02:56

im shure Solo will reply just as soon as he's done scratching his head about how i made this.
just kidding, im sure this is childs play to him.

Julius · 2 May 2008, 12:26

how long did the last rendering take?

igor · 2 May 2008, 15:03

oh, not that long, about half an hour to forty-five minutes. ill post the SKP if someone wants it. its a pretty cool model.

igor · 7 May 2008, 19:43

here is another. done during study hall. i was bored out of my skull and SU kept on crashing on the extremely high poly count of the model i was trying to render, so went with a simple square. this is aftrer only 66 iterations out of 10000

igor · 11 May 2008, 22:08

is ANYone going to respond?!?!?!

please?

RayOchoa · 11 May 2008, 22:13

These are nice but how about downloading something from the warehouse and rendering that? That way ppl will be even MORE impressed

igor · 11 May 2008, 22:31

ray, your comment seems very ironic to me. i first started with rendering things form the warehouse, then i tought that people would get borred with the thread because i wasnt even rendering my own stuff, so i started making my own.
plus, its been a learning experience. i never would have learned what i have if i had just gotten stuff from the warehouse.

and now for something completely different: i just got indigo to work!!!!! (im sure remus is happy about this). and i mean litteraly just got it wo work, like in the last 2 minutes. im exited. as you can probably tell.

but, once podium 2.0 comes out, indigo goes out.

sorry remus.

remus · 12 May 2008, 05:34

You bviously havent had a good chance to use indigo yet (although i havent used podium 2 either )

What was the problem in the end?

I look forward to seeing some renders form you (and indigo!)

igor · 12 May 2008, 23:54

hey, thanks for the encouragement. I'm posting this from my brand spanking iPod touch! Anyway...
Remus, the problem was that i didn't copy a certain folder to the indigo folder. I feel stupid now
I've run into a problem though, when I try to make something, say a sphere, out of glass, it ends up looking opaque black in the render. Any certain procedure I have to do? Thanks!

remus · 13 May 2008, 05:42

Good choice of ipod ive got one as well

As for the glass material, are you applying it from the skindigo materials editor or in SU?

Basically you need to apply it in the skindigo materials browser, as normal transparent materials in SU are just treated as diffuse rather than clear.

To get in to the skindigo materials browser: double click on a texture in the SU materials window OR right clcik on a surface with the material applied->edit material.

If youve got any more questions dont hesitate to ask, it took me quite a while to understand what even half of the buttons/features do in skindigo and id be more than happy to pass on my accumulated knowledge (what little there is, anyway.)
