POST YOUR RENDERS NR.2: WAREHOUSE

EarthMover · 2 Feb 2009, 12:00

Actually this warehouse is the fist thing I've rendered since I updated, and I've experienced zero parsing times. Could be that there are only 5 or so materials in the whole model. The 1.5 I was using before this was really bad. It's good to do quick test renders while texturing to find out what is slowing down parsing. It's usually due to materials placed on or in nested components.

We should have this kind of "challenge" at least once at week. What do you guys think?

Sounds like a great i dea Competition will push my skill even further

Guys I have to disagree there, as making it competitive or a challenge will take the free flow fun out of it and force us to judge instead of enjoy.
Secondly I am opposed to judging render apps against each other as that is what it will end up as being.

Lets keep it fun.

I fired up Artlantis R version 1 after about a year of no renders. This is what I got with no tweaking of materials at all. I will have to brush up my skills, but the model is so well textured that I am actually quite pleased already. Render time 48 seconds. Setup time 2-3 minutes.

I've downloaded the .skp but I seem to have a dark grey stripe top and bottom and I can't get rid of it

Does anyone know whats causing it?

Kev if you have not fixed it already it can be corrected with a Rick Wilson ruby from smustard FixAspectRatio

I solved the problem by pasting the warehouse into a new model. Thanks for your advice though

nomeradona · 3 Feb 2009, 15:52

here is my another try. this time with additional model from the warehouse

Adding some more Warehouse stuff

Then warehouse models were refined to show details. created some bump textures and added them to the diffuse map. So here is the my render image (no post process). more than 12 minutes with my quad core.

Post process image to add grunges.
my steps using photoshop: 1. created a copy of the image and add filter high pass.. play on the opacity
2. add a new layer, then use gradient tool of two colors (one light brown and one dark brown) blending mode is overlay
3. add noise to this gradient map
4. add mask and use textured map (35%) to removed slightly some grunge effect

great job with the bump maps nomeradomna..that container looks great.

here's my quick 15 minute maxwell setup..think it rendered for like 8 hours or so... didnt really adjust any of the materials, aside from the emitters..

and via multilight, here is a a daytime version

nomeradona · 4 Feb 2009, 01:44

mark, thnaks for that. i noticed you said your render is about 8 hours, thats really long. Mine was just 12 minutes. Is it becasue of the emitters?..How about the daytime version?

marked001 · 4 Feb 2009, 02:37

maxwell is slow slow slow... it probably could've been shorter though, but i went out and left it running. the night and day images are created from the same render.. maxwell has a feature where you can adjust the output of each individual emitter, as well as the environment..
