This time Thea

I have to confess...speed and quality .....nothing beats Thea....It took only couple of minutes on my laptop (IR) and no pp apart from frame , signature and reduction of size.

Looking GREAT, Sid...
Although the Shaderlight render also looked good, I feel the lightning in this looks better...

Cool stuff Sid, if you use an IBL and not physical sun it will render even faster and give even smoother shadows.

Hi,
i'm very interested in Thea Render, the results that i see online are truly amazing.
I think tomorrow will download the trial version.
@Solo: excuse my ignorance, but what is an IBL?

thanks
Ivan

ok, i found the answer myself, is that correct?

HDR Labs

Thanks Frederik...
Solo it is actually both IBL and sun at the same time.
Ivan, IBL stands for image based lighting, be it hdr or ldr.

Nice Sid!

Mate that is an eye catching car too, what is it? I so wish I had the time, money and mechanical ability to restore an older car with character. There is just that nice nostalgia around them. Love it!

sepo · 7 Oct 2010, 22:06

Thanks Richard. It is Mazda...Yes it would be nice to be able to have one of these.

Well that very much surprized me! Such great lines and that rear screen WHOA!

That's a great render Sid. That car is a LOT of fun to play with. Here is a copy in the warehouse:

Great stuff,

You Thea people are driving me crazy!

I do not have time to learn another rendering application!
Because of these blasted beautiful Thea renderings you keep posting
I am afraid I must find time.

Thanks a lot!

sepo · 10 Oct 2010, 07:52

Paul, try Thea . It is one fine piece of software.

sepo · 19 Oct 2010, 17:31

another try IBL and CRF... thea is so powerfull....

sepo · 19 Oct 2010, 17:35

Maybe should have left it longer to cook ....impatient...

It seem out of focus... You should try the auto focus...
I'm sure supersampling set to high would help also in this scene...

sepo · 19 Oct 2010, 19:51

Hmmm.... it does look out of focus on the forum but the image on my desktop does not.....
It had autofocus and autosampling was on auto.

michaliszissiou · 19 Oct 2010, 20:23

Nice render sid.
Just curious, why you all testing renderers on cars? I personally find them rather ugly objects. And boring... I prefer objects that involve SSS, caustics and even more like huge amount of faces etc.

sepo · 19 Oct 2010, 20:38

Thanks Michalis. I do not find all of them ugly ...on the contrary. The reason I play with cars at moment is simply because the scenes are quite easy to set up.
