Using 'instancing/proxies' is fun
-
Actually the render engine replaces the dummy components with the complex ones at export.
It will render those 'proxies' as if you would have placed thousands of the complex components.
Not sure if this explanation is clear... -
Ok, so its more a way of cuttign down on the number of polys in SU than cutting down the render time?
-
That's right.
Sketchup wouldn't be able to only show 1 % of that polycount.The funny thing is that even render time isn't lagging that much.
The above scene took 2 hours to get relatively noise free. -
Thats pretty cool, i was under the (wrong) impression that indigo took forever to render anything. Ive really got to and have a go with it at some point.
-
Indigo will take forever for interior scenes (as all unbiased engines do).
For exterior scenes, the render times are acceptable. -
Is that just because theres usually so many light sources?

No, all interiors take (too?) long, even without extra lights
For interior rendering, using Podium or Vray (=biased engines)is more appropriate imho unless you have all the time in the world... -
Number of light sources is not that important. Interior scenes (lit with exterior lighting)take long because there are so many light bounces for light to find it's way to the camera. Exterior scenes have far fewer bounces and therefore render much faster.

-
wow.....wow..... what about renderer app and render time?
-
and Instancing of "real simulation of vegetation" with Ivy generator?
-
Thanks.
People 'sprayed' around + Skindigo:
-
Ivy generator...good idea
In the mean time, some clay soldiers:
-
@Majid,
The images on the last 2 pages are made with (Sk)Indigo and render times vary between 1.5 and 4 hours. -
SketchyPhysics + Component Spray Tool + Skindigo:

hahaha, reminds me of the ball pit when i was young
-
Remus, at your age I still loved those ball pits!
-
True, although im always afraid of looking like a weirdo if i start playing in ball pits
-
Even after a couple of beers?
-
I dont do beer, im strictly a cider man.
