Wow Massimo! Mate that is some seriously good stuff there mate! Not just from a rendering point, but some outstanding camera work! I'm truly IMPRESSED!

Thanks guys.

but out of curiosity, could you tell us the average time it took to render? (and of course the original resolution and rendering power of your machine)

What is the original size of the image? How long THEA rendering a single image?

The images were rendered at 1500X1043 px for 5-7 hrs each (depending on the scene) on my old i7 with 6 Gb of RAM.
Anyway you have to consider a couple of things:
-the scene is quite complex (a lot of geometry, reflective and SSS materials, lighting etc.) and there are also two omni inside the hanging lamps which shine through a frosted glass;
-I'm totally new to biased rendering settings, so I've picked the highest preset with no further tweaks. Just made some adjustment on single materials;
-the unbiased engines were almost unable to clean the scene in an acceptable time.

Yeah, I love wide angle lenses. Here I've used 14 or 20 mm.

This is probably some of the best work you've done!! Hats off! Yes camera work is truly excellent. There is something captivating with ceramics.

this is the only reason i dont switch to Thea... the unbiased engines are amazing, and now with the 1.2 final gathering, the biased ones are almost equally good

but i miss a biased preset where you can give up a little bit on quality, but get a render in 15 to 30 minutes, like you can do in VRay

even with "basic" interior preset, with no supersampling, i get 2 to 3 hour render in these kind of complex lightning scenes (my machine is even "older" than yours...)

but again, amazing images, you and Thea work very well together

Simply Stunning work.

But I shudder to think what would happen if you dropped your coffee cup, the shrapnel would be lethal.

what texture did you use for the specular massimo? Looks very real.

massimo

You mean for the ceramics?

Yes, looks like the place had a nice vacuuming before you took the photo.

massimo

Nowadays you can use one of these anyway...
