Candle render Challenge (all render engines)

solo · 6 May 2009, 22:55

Another animation render (last one I promise) to see how the flame works at different angles.

Really nice Pete! Is that an animated .gif used on an alpha plane?

solo · 6 May 2009, 23:16

I used a cropped .avi on an alpha plane.

EarthMover · 6 May 2009, 23:19

Could you supplement the .avi with a small omni light as it doesn't appear to have any light casting quality?

solo · 6 May 2009, 23:50

I have a small omni present, I could bump up the multiplier for more glow.

This dancing flame is really cool

I'd love to enter this challenge; but darnit, my windows PC took a dump yesterday(watch out for the latest nVidia system drivers, at least on the 780i) due to corrupted USB drivers and I can't get into the comp at all thanks to only having USB mouse and keyboard.

Not to mention my monitor picked today to die.

Complaints, I has them! Don't close the challenge yet ! That is, unless there's a way to get Sketchup working on my Linux laptop!

Anyone know the solution?

did you model the flame in vue with a volumetric material?

Majid your candle looks very realistic too

[Displacement activities.. you gotta love em]

Here's a candle model I found on 3dwarehouse just now. Just added the flame and made the base shiny metal.

The flame is animated in realtime but I can't upload the .mov file so I've put a 320x240 on Vimeo

Is that animation LightUp, Adam?
(I gotta try it once - I even have the "project" for it...)

Sure is.

The all new, all dancing v1.5 is hopefully out tomorrow too.
(Which is the version that has all this color/texture animation support)

Is there also objects animation included. I seem too recall seeing that as well. Sure it looks very promissing.

Don't rush, Adam, don't rush. Make it perfect instead
(Unfortunately I have no time to try it ATM and it would only be a teaser )

Majid,

Your wax material is really great, would you share your settings ? KT's Sss is not the most documented topic...
