Oli, it is vignetting.

teofas · 18 May 2009, 16:57

nice done sepo, i like the second image the architecture is good i like it!

Richard · 18 May 2009, 16:59

Hope you keep us posted with updates mate!

BTW can you get a bit more light out of the images straight from rendering?

sepo · 18 May 2009, 17:00

Thanks Teo. I will have to try it in Vray as well.

Richard I think your screen is wee dark . I was looking your very nice Maxwell render in the forum but to me looks brightness is bit too strong and not enough contrast. Saying that you are in sunny Ozz and I am in UK.
The LightUp image will depend on HDR image you are using. The Second Podium I like the strong contrast. Mind you it maybe not be to everyone taste.

Mate I think in part you are a bit right! I edited that on my Laptop and just cant seem to get the brightness to match my desktop monitor! Well I can get part of it to match but as soon as you lift or lower your eyeline it is either over or under exposed! Dam HP crap screens!!!

LightUp 1.5 WIP...Great improvemnet to 1.4

sepo · 20 May 2009, 20:16

No post process

Man I'm impressed!

Question - in the last images is the HDRI the only lighting? Pretty good if it is!

Well done mate!

sepo · 21 May 2009, 07:25

Thanks Richard. It is AO and HDR only lighting . I am very impressed with LightUp as well.Simple to setup and you can create animations, move in rendered environment in real time regardless how big is the SU file and also extract number of images. Here is just another image trying bumps and specular(Onyx tree). LightUp handles transparent .png well and no need for alpha to have correct shadows.

looks really nice....hdr lighting looks convincing [edit]got my trial downloaded....its freaky moving round a rendered model, kinda like playing xbox lol

Thinksssssss

More play with LightUp... Have not really moved the project so need to do a lot of work this week... Still need to do water...plants etc.

olishea · 13 Jun 2009, 17:01

im guessing its hdr lighting again? i saw another image on lightup website that u made using hdr to the same scheme, beautiful. this is what podium is missing IMO.

very nice work btw, cant wait to see it with all the water and plants etc. have u tried using the animated textures to water?

do u mind sharing grass texture?

sepo · 13 Jun 2009, 18:21

Thanks Oli. Yes it is HDRI lighting.I will play with water later on, once everything is in place. At moment the file is getting big and I am not sure if I am going to postprocess plants or have them rendered. I can share the grass no probs...let me know how.

sepo · 13 Jun 2009, 23:36

Here is Podium version.

pilou · 13 Jun 2009, 23:51

It's not so bad too

troyhome · 14 Jun 2009, 01:02

say, care to share the skp of those lilly pads?
I'm actually surprised at how nice LU looks... i still think i'll stick to podium or vray, but not bad.
