      Thanks for the feedback, there is full control of the lights including intensity, colour and direction. There will also be some new controls for HDR's and a new physical sky system.

      The cost is going to be $199 for the Pro version of the software, there will also be a free version.

        I don't know what it is about this chair but I love it. Maybe it's the composition of the render or the form of the chair but it's all great. Being new to the rendering world I've wanted to find a good model to test some material presets (from twilight) to get a good idea of what they will do. I want to make the relation to a painter painting simple objects to learn how to paint and study objects, but that might be a bit of a stretch. Here are some of my tests created from this wonderful model (thanks for sharing Olishea!!!) I didn't really do much other than changed the materials of each of the chairs. No post pro, just tweaks in twilight with hdri studio lighting on interior+ preset 10.

        Cheers,

        jsteacy

            jsteacy I think those are fantastic.
            A great advert for Twilight in my opinion.
            Did you use the studio setup or create your own?

              yeah they are cool! but have you unsoftened the edges of the studio backdrop? should be a smooth surface.

                        whats the density of it? dont send me the material file, i wanna learn how to achieve the effect!

                        most SSS i see are very dense, dont even look translucent, yours is perfect ๐Ÿ‘

                          Okay - had to play a little more. I think the top of the chair is looking more and more like Cousin Itt.

                              @Dylan - the render is just Olishea's model with an Hdri I downloaded, I can't remember where from though.

                              @Olishea - I didn't modify the model you posted so I don't know how it un-softened that edge like it did....

                              @Massimo - I love the look of those plastic materials.

                                Ok no material file then Oli...But it's quite hard to explain ๐Ÿ˜†

                                The "basic" material is a layered material made as a mix between a dielectric glass and a layered material made with transmitted colour and specular. By changing the percentage of the weights between the two layers as well as by changing the transmitted & specular shininess you can control the "density" of the material. The balance of that one was: dielectric glass--> 0.2 and transmitted + specular--> 0.8. The IOR used is 1.345.![scheme of the structure of the "basic" material](/uploads/imported_attachments/sIgR_schemeofthematerial.JPG "scheme of the structure of the "basic" material")

                                  This model is really funny... So here you have a "sculpture chair" ๐Ÿ˜† . An experiment with a material made with a wireframe procedural used as a clipmap.

                                    these are getting out of control, thats seriously impressive. thanks for material help by the way, Im trying to learn KT material editor. ๐Ÿ‘ how have you mapped that mesh texture so well?! im proper baffled...or does it "add" material to the lines of the geometry? โ“ ๐Ÿ˜ฒ ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                                    "wirefame procedural"? not seen these before ๐Ÿ˜ฎ i guess the clue is in the name!!

                                    cousin itt is so funny!!

                                      No maps at all. ๐Ÿ˜„
                                      It's just the mesh of the model... With that procedural you have only to choose on what edges you want to apply it and set the tickness, fadeout etc.. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                          @Olishea - Thanks for the model links, they are great. I attached a quick render of the pollen model. I didn't have the time to let in run for a while but hopefully I will soon. I only got 10 passes on it.

                                          @Massimo - cool wireframe material, I'm curious since twilight can use kerkythea materials if you can use the wireframe material in twilight. That would be really cool. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                                            I thought this would make a cool Wicker chair. Done in Max/Vray. Quadrified the SU mesh with a plugin called Wrapit for Max and then converted the quad edges to a renderable shape (spline). Quick three light studio setup.
