Exterior : vizdepot model [update page 3]

Jackson

Apart from the nude and the diamond shaped leaves in the foreground I MUCH prefer the VRay image- everything about it, the lighting, the reflections and oh that water! :esurp: Really fantastic work- I've concentrated on VRays interior capabilities, but you have proven that it can produce top-notch exteriors.

Did you set up the water yourself in VRay's material editor using just a bump map or is there a displacement map too? The two things I've found very troublesome in VRay are the bump and reflection mapping- sometimes adding a bump map makes the diffuse map disappear i.e. the texture loses it's texture- it just becomes a flat colour. And reflection mapping has been a complete disaster for me- at best it gives very unpredictable results and at worst it seems to have the inverse effect i.e. dark areas become very reflective and lighter areas less reflective. When I combine bump and reflection maps the results are unpredictable.

Jackson,
I know you are a Vray guy, but just to annoy you I went back to Podium and re-rendered it using the 'noisy settings'

I color balanced the 'greens' to a more autumn like color (rusty).

Podium: foggy

Vray again

The last one is just amazing!!

Phew! that takes some beating.

Best SU-vray rendering yet.

kwistenbiebel

Thanks

This next one is rendered using Fryrender:

very nice!!

How long did render take

kwistenbiebel

It rendered for about 1 hour.

Great rendering..

easy to do ?
i mean comparing with other renders.

kwistenbiebel

Fry is buggy for the moment and it took me a while to know the workarounds to avoid the hassles.
The software is still beta, so hopefully things get fixed soon.

kwistenbiebel

Different light, different colors:

alexander

really clear (bright) renders.
well done again biebel..
(i'm still waiting to see a render off the most famous belgium man.)

Alexander is right, that is a very clear and crisp rendering.

What is the price of Fryrender (I could not find it on thier website)

One observation: the Ford logo is mirrored.

alexander

About 800 euro's per unit.

did you already try a interior render Biebel ?

kwistenbiebel

I did render some interiors with Fry, but just like Maxwell, it takes way too long and thus not really usable...
For interiors I prefer to use Podium or Vray.

I bought Fryrender at half price in 'pre-order' phase.
Current price (800 bucks) is very high, definitely when you consider the product is still in beta and you can't be sure where it is heading.

@Alexander,
Who would that most famous Belgian be?
