Lets call it "The renders I've failed to achive"...

[linea]

I think this is the thread I dared not create, but I'm glad you did. I have so many bad renders to choose from; basically every one I've ever attempted. I do read the tuts but nothing ever really goes in. It was hard to pick the finest example of my ineptitude but I think this is close. Main problem: realism in general, rendered with V-ray.

This is a good thread

Heres a few of my twisted creations:

I tried to make realistic 3D smoke in Podium with no clipmaps etc.

Needless to say "I failed to achieve"

Might try it again some time.

Now I feel bad. Your failures beat the cr** out of my successes.

David, I was sure someone will come with something like that... but I think it's really good to see that people you think of as render masters have just has much trash in the backyard than anyone else (and even more, because they've try harder to get a result...).

Actually Boofredlay, I really like your strange floating chrome sphere...

Soo, good to see that this thread meet a positive audience !

... learning Vray without any help could be a pain...when you begin to understand certain notions, you dare trying them sure that you've fully get all the secrets of the apps...

So when you try to have a nice underwater scene with a displaced gravel floor, you end up with a replica of the great canyon and a crazy cloudy sky out of an other dimension...

Great thread!

Here's my contribution. I set out to make art, and came up with an enormous visual cliché. Anybody need a print to go with the suit and the loft?

Where did you get that rock wall texture? or is that a photo background?
