Lighting Project
-
Just a revamp of a project.
Pretty pleased with the end result as it looks strikingly similar to the real thing.

-
BRAVO, Remus...

Could fool me to believe this is a real photo...

Indigo - I presume...?? -
Indigo indeed, and it only took 18 hours

And and before I forget, thanks once more to fred06 for his bend script. Last time I tried this I had to use FFD and it was a bit of a nightmare, with bend it was plain sailing

-
very nice remus, but render times are crazy!!
, jeje...anyway well done my friend!! -
good job!!! the new version of spider lamp ?
those times are due to the emitter material on a surface of many polygons as is the area that focus. -
Thanks. I was wondering what caused those lines.
-
Very nice remus.

18 hours! that's like watching paint dry
Seriously, though that's not a good carbon footprint. Look at all the electricity that was used just to make a 2d light bulb, look 3d.Are we all going insane?

I dont own a car (or plan to), so that sort of cancels it out.

So why did it take that long? (even Maxwell does not take that long)
- slow CPU?
- slow rendering execution?
- other?
-
In this case I think it was a combination of slowish CPU, large output size and the single light source.
Could I ask what makes you think maxwell would be faster? I would have thought the render times would have been pretty similar really.

It used to be similar until I finally got a quad core machine.

Alas i'm stuck with a mere dual core. I'm sure a render farm would fix that, though

-
nice job on the SSS... shade looks great.... i dont think maxwell would be any faster, personally.... depending on the settings for the SSS material on the shade..
-
I didnt bother with sss for the shade, kept it single face thickness and used a diffuse transmitter. Just me being too lazy to model the shade with thickness, really.
-
haha....even better

Its hard to compare resuslts, I'm just learning, and test driving V-ray for SU
It did this simple rendering in 7 min.

-
Just a mini update, heres the real thing for comparison.

-
Remus, Nice job. I like the warmth of the light. Make me want to take a nap....

Is that a missing petal? or is it a design feature?
