Nice roof tiles and roofs. Isn't that a LOT of work to lay them out?

david57 · 5 Jul 2009, 17:39

No, I think its easy, the hard part is cutting them and takes long.
In real life you have to do this in the hot sun and takes days.

To cut down the time just use the mover tool. Copy and move.

This take forever to render and its unfinished.

Sir · 9 Jul 2009, 08:29

what renderer are you using? and on what settings? its a very simple scene it shoudln't take too long

david57 · 9 Jul 2009, 13:55

Using Kerkythea and rendering this last one with BiPT.
Others Kerkythea and rendered using MLT.

Sir · 9 Jul 2009, 15:12

ill wait for a kerky expert to pop by then, but does each tree have a separate leaf?

If this is an outdoor scene lit only by the sun you should try the Progressive Path Tracing setting. See if that speeds things up.

It also looks like a healthy amount of geometry with the modelled roof tiles and trees. That is probably contributing to the speed.

Yes, PPT, using that now. I have to remove also lots of twigs, stems not seen and unnecessary geometry. Will also try reducing translucency on all trees. I tryed pseudo translucency and doesn't look right.

Palm tree and small plant from Gooogle Warehouse.

david57 · 11 Jul 2009, 23:18

To Mat B: Yes, All trees are using the same leaf.

Here's a front view with the palm. PPT render. I need bushes. Dont like the plant and will check warehouse to see what else they have, there.

david57 · 12 Jul 2009, 06:03

Couldn't find one but I tried one called Cycas Palm from: http://blender-archi.tuxfamily.org/Greenhouse#European_Oak

Something went wrong and plant looks like it growing something.

david57 · 12 Jul 2009, 23:01

Palm next to the rocks also from Google warehouse.

david57 · 18 Jul 2009, 07:02

Trying out the light green one to the left and also from google warehouse.

david57 · 20 Jul 2009, 05:05

Not satisfied, i still feel that i need to do more work on it.

david57 · 21 Jul 2009, 02:25

I over did it.
