SU + blender + corona 1st render

[novena]

Hi guys,
I haven't post here for a long time... I am a maxwellian, but I been looking for a plan B for a while, so gave a try to Corona renderer with Blender and this is my first attempt...

modeled with SketchUp, rendered with Blender 2.69 and Corona renderer
render time 6 hrs at 3000x1500 pixs with a laptop I7-2630QM
grass done with make-fur-for-sketchup, trees and hedges with Arbaro

hope you like it

Beautiful image, Novena. If there is one thing I'd fault you on, it is that there isn't a reflection of the person taking the photograph in the light fixture.

[novena]

thank you Daniel, do you believe in vampires???

But the picture has sunlight streaming through the windows, and everyone knows vampires don't come out during the daytime!

[novena]

@ Bryan, thanks a lot...

@ Chedda, thanks buddy, this doesnt mean I am quitting Maxwell, it is just a pause...

@ Daniel, you caught me off guard

These are wonderful. How do you use two renderers in one image? Combined images?

Also just today I was thinking of trying a render of sunlight through chairs. It's a fascinating image!

[andybot]

very nice renderings! Hadn't heard about Corona, looks good.

[novena]

Thanks guys!

@ pbacot
The image is rendered only with corona, the sketchup model is exported to blender and then rendered in corona via an exporter blender/corona, thanks Im glad u like it

@ andybot
Corona renderer is a plugin for 3d max, but there is a guy who wrote an exporter for blender, I just started to test corona 1 week ago and im quite happy with its results, thanks for comments

Very nice renders novena, I am using corona too and I like it very easy to use and fast results and free at the moment.

Beautiful second image, V.

[novena]

Thank you guys for your comments!

@allanx
Thanks, are you using corona with 3d max? I agree with u, corona is easy, fast and great results

@Ken28875
Thanks, corona is especially a plugin for 3d max, but now there is an expoter for blender

Hi Novena,

I use both 3Dsmax and Blender plugin, 3dsmax has alot of option but I prefer Blender because its awesome and very cool.

[novena]

thank you guys!

@ Daniel
thanks, I am glad you like it!

@ Allanx
thanks Allan for your answer, I have not tried corona with 3D max. you are right, corona within blender is quite limited but working with blender is very cool...

Impressive works! Congratulations! I'm totally new to Corona, but do you think there's a way to export from sketchup directly to the Corona Standalone software, without passing through Blender? Could be a silly question, because I don't really know how the standalone works

Thanks!

Hey archbit88!
thanks for your comment, I'm affraid that it is not possible to export from SketchUp to Corona Standalone, cause it does not exist an exporter...
I use this exporter here:
