Igor's renderings

igor · 17 May 2008, 03:29

what glass? its just the glass texture. nothing special.

remus · 17 May 2008, 06:48

Some render engines have a special glass (dielectric glass), i cant remember why they need it though or what special effects it produces

Gaieus · 17 May 2008, 07:26

Dielectric glass (as opposed to thin glass used for simple windows) refracts the light besides simple reflection (like the one above onóbviously). Each transparent material has its IOR (index of refraction) thus they are different from each other.

Nice renders, Igor!

yea what he said What did you render this with?

remus · 17 May 2008, 14:19

Ray, theres only one glass material in indigo, so i imagine that's it.

RayOchoa · 17 May 2008, 14:55

Oh well scince ive never used indigo i would have not known. I use Kerky for my rendrers

igor · 17 May 2008, 15:32

thread = jacked.

one alternative to glass, remus, is to use the "water" material.
and gaeius, do you mean that dielectric glass is quote-en-quote "solid" as oposed to being like sheets of glass? like if i made a sphere and made it with dielectric, it would act like a glass marble; and if i use just glass it looks like a glass christmas ornument. am i right?

Gaieus · 18 May 2008, 08:36

Yes, you are right (just look at your sphere above - it refracts like a solid glass sphere). That's why it's so important to give wall thickness to glass obleckts like glasses or bottles. I think the Thin glass shader in KT is just an exception (say it's a "cheat").

Normally a window glass material also has thickness but in architectural representations and renderings it's much irrelevant and using dielectric glass materials will make render time longer (the photons need to count refraction as well as bounces within the glass material).

wow, sorry i havnt posted in like 5 days. it frightens me how fast this thread sinks! ive been off the computer for a while, so nothings been rendered. new stuff soon! and thanks for all the kind words and help, everyone!

igor · 10 Jun 2008, 04:02

hey, sorry i havnt post anything in forever. my computer has been nearly filled up, so rendering anything takes forever. i will try my best on anyother computer i can, and if time permits i will do some stuff on my computer.

igor · 13 Aug 2008, 19:41

hey! guess who got a new computer?! i did!!!!! that means rendering can resume!!!

plus the new computer happens to be a dual core mac (i know i know, not the octuple core alienware monster i was hoping for).
new renderings are coming as soon as i get all settled into my new mac

Good to see you back, and looking forward to the new renders, hopefully theyll be as good as the ones that preceded them

remus · 14 Aug 2008, 21:13

Nice, its a pity there werent more segments in the chair legs

igor · 14 Aug 2008, 21:27

here is a new render!!!!! i didnt make the model, i just snatched it from the ware house because i wanted to see how fast this computer could render. and the answer is: fast.

here it is:

Hi igor

Wow, you seem to eat, live and breath SU & Podium. Do you ever do anything else but model and render?

You got some really good stuff on here. You obviously enjoy it. Are you hoping to get into the 3D biz after your studies?

Hope you have lots of fun with your new computer. My new one arrives next week and I can't wait!!

Its about time you started using bumpmaps. No excuse now with all your new technology on your desk. And it will really improve your renders.

If you haven't already then you ought to post some of your work over on the Podium forum http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/mb/supodiumforum
