The hypershot was render with HDR and the others very differently with Sun + Physical Sky. I think that made the big difference and an unfair comparison IMHO.

CE,
I couldn't resist playing with the twilight version just a little while on lunch break here @ work. Just some minor tweaks (3-4 minutes total) to the materials and a quick run through easy #7 setting get's you here. I don't like the water, but I think this clearly shows that just a little playing with the materials in twilight gives the image (no pp like yours) much better definition and depth.

Nice job, Bytor....I also used Twilight - I used a HDR from the Twilight team, mostly materials from the generic templates, and rendered with Medium+ in less than 4 mins with my sloooow laptop
I added some grass in Photoshop for the 2nd image.---10 min material setup, 4 min render, 5 min PP---

A quick render with Vue (6m 34s), setup about 10 minutes, no post processing

Kerkythea, MLT/BPT with provided textures unchanged and not adjusted. Added sky.

Pete,
The "growies" in Vue are jsut outstanding!

Outstanding!

Good day everybody,
Here is my render with VRAY.
The "Size Multiplier" parameter (in GI (Skylight)) has been increased to 10 to get softer shadows.
-
Wow! Everyone!
I wasn't expecting such a response from all.
Solo, you are my inspiratoin, and I was sincerly hoping you would give an example from Vue, truely outstanding.I thought I would try it myself too. Thing is though that I couldn't seem to get the ambient lighting working very well. Any suggestions? Today is the first day I've had a play with it, so unless it's simple to fix, don't bother even trying to explain to me :S
-
Okay, here is my "quick and dirty" test (I can make "dirty" renderings only anyway). The choice of the sky was probably a bit of a mistake (too bright, too blue) and I have obviously screwed the shrub on the right.
Otherwise (except for Majid's water and the warped thin glass which is "shipped" with Twilight) everything is the original in the model and I only used the pre-set templates to quickly adjust the materials.

Go into atmosphere editor, in the 'Light' tab select 'GR' that will make the atmosphere Global radiosity (make sure both options below it is also checked)
-
OK, another try with some further tweaks (modified shadows for instance to get some more exciting variations of hard(er) and soft shadows - changed plants, added something behind the camera so that the window can reflect it...)

Maxwell, noisy!! Only 40min on my crap top! All mats straight from crazy's file but grass, glass brick and gal steel. 5 min PP
-
Nice ...Richard. How long would take Maxwell to clear that noise as it is quite noisy?

Mate as mentioned it was rendered on a 2.4g dual thread, not dual core even! Plus I added a lot of geo in plants, about twenty clipped trees and an internal emitter. So it's probaly not a good example. Though 2-3 hours at that res would clean it up well, done with 1.7.1 - V2 by all accounts is much faster and if I had taken the time to open it in studio you have the option to save out your physical sky as HDRI. You can then just plug that straight back in and it would rip through again much quicker!!
I'd say if I had an i7 and used HDRI it would render clean and twice the res in an hour!
You have to say though that Maxwell's lighting is hard to beat!
-
Yeah the lighting is nice but that noise is problem for me. It is like watching paint to dry.
-
I do know what you mean mate! Though one has to balance that up against the ease of setup! Leaving the puter running whilst I do other stuff is a fair trade off for me when I can just set the camera export and do something else!
-
I supose we all develop liking for particular workflow. If it works for you than great,
It could be me but I prefer biased render solution. -
Sometimes I wonder what the Pixar guys think of this forum and about our renders... if they visit this place at all. After all, they're kinda the fathers of today's computer graphics.
So far I'm really liking Pete's image. Vue totally rocks for vegetation.
