Piano with Rayscaper

[Gus R]

@Rich-O-Brien Very nice. I've been using that tile pattern a lot lately to set up some UV's in Sketchup for D5 Render. Have you watched the documentary "The Making of a Steinway Piano" yet?

@Rich-O-Brien Very nice Rich.

Now tell me how you get that pattern.

[pixelcruncher]

Wow, that's a fantastic render. Love the realism, and the great use of depth-of-field.

The Making of a Steinway Piano

No, but I just did. AI can't do what those folks can. There's a lot to be said talented craftspeople. Such a nice job too.

I couldn't get SketchUp to make the black keys properly so I just horsed in basic stuff. I hoped the high DOF would hide the shortcuts.

I did the famous Robatto Piano render in Blender so I could help Thomas start to dial in some stuff for RayScaper. I actually saw the original image on X and thought it was a good excerise for lighting and camera position.

RayScaper still does need some work regarding normals and light/dof values but its still impressive and fun to use. Fast too

It's the Checkerboard material SketchUp ships with under Patterns

Thanks Rich. I should have thought of that. Duh! 🤪

@ntxdave I’m convinced F1 is broken on your keyboard.

Rich,

Where is this famous Robatto Piano render?

Edit: wait a minute. I just noticed my name on the piano. I'm getting old!

Well you have to be using your keyboard and SketchUp to get that result. 🤪

Not following, what's the backstory behind the name Robatto?

[Rich O Brien]

@pixelcruncher Just some cranky guy that makes very detailed models and yummy renders

Me? Cranky?

[pixelcruncher]

@Gus-R don’t know about your mood but the renders are yummy indeed!

How do I share this file so others with RayScaper can test render times etc?

Extensions > RayScaper > Create Archive

Will that allow someone to open the SKP file and RayScaper will load the materials and HDR?

@Rich-O-Brien wunderbar!

@Rich-O-Brien

Top notch.

@Rich-O-Brien Nice

Most excellent ! Always like these “non standard” views in renders.
