Neon Chair
-
After seeing Eric Lay's inspiring "Electric chair" I decided to try and make a variation on the same theme.
The chair material is a simple color with Twilight's "Emitter" template applied to it.
The walls and the floors are just SketchUp materials with some bump and a Polished Stone template applied to them, respectively. Now that I think about it, I should have inverted the bump in the floor.
Rendered with Preset 09. After taking my cat to the pet wash and meeting some family members at the airport, I came back and stopped it at 1 hour 56 minutes. I guess I should be asking my family how was their trip instead of being online...Here's the SU file:
-
Pretty cool Miguel. Not to good for sitting though.
-
Great, nice and toasty.
-
thats sweet man.
but please, you take your cat to a cat wash?!!
-
Cool render.
Agree about the inverted bump - would probably look better.
And actually ~2 hs is not even bad concerning how many emitting facets you have in there (this is supposed to boost rendering time so whenever is possible, use "fake" emitters instead - of course here it would "kill" the very point). -
Well, I did render a 22-minute "biased" version with a low-poly invisible emitter and a high-poly fake emitter, but the reflection in the stone wasn't looking too cool and I was too lazy to hack the preset file to up the fuzzy reflection setting, so I deleted the invisible emitter and just rendered in a unbiased preset. According to Frederik, in unbiased mode it doesn't matter how many faces your emitters have.
However, I'm pretty sure the render looked clean way before the two-hour mark. I'll do a test of how it looks after 30 minutes.And this is my cat. She's white and looks grey when dirty, that's why she needs a regular bath. But as she's kind of wild, I leave that task to the professionals.

awesome your cat has one blue eye and one brown eye. feral

Ok, here's a 30-minute test, with the correct bump:
Bear in mind that I have an ancient Core 2 Duo E6300 Allendale. According to Tomshardware.com's charts, the Core i7 920 should be 3.5x faster for 3D rendering, so you should be able to achieve the same result in around 9 minutes:

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-q3-2008/Cinema-4D-Release-10,835.htmlUnfortunately I had already deleted the versions of this file with the low-poly invisible emitter and the biased tests. I guess I'll have to do my tests with another model.
