      My final composition for the ant chair. Just a pass time exercise.

      No photoshop except vignette, border and levels.

      Comments welcome as usual

          You could easily fool me to believe this is a real photo...
          Well done, Oliver... ๐Ÿ‘

          I knew that you would be a true artist with TWR...

              Nice job mate!!! As always! ๐Ÿ˜„

              Something strange with the metal, I know they should be chrome but there is something wrong with the edges being so dark!

              If you are after a rough metal look I'd probably keep the metal in 0 roughness and add a very fine bump map - introducing roughness values to metals causes them normally to react as plastics.

                Richard, the legs aren't chrome. It's like a grey powder coat.....on the one I have anyway, there are also chrome ones. That's why edges are dark, more of a blurry/plastic reflection.

                I was going to make a version of this image just for you.....with intense bloom/glow effect just to rattle your cage! I decided against it haha

                    So . ..I notice that a lot of Podium Devotees have defected to TWILIGHT. .. myself included. What does this mean for Podium? and the future Podium 2?

                    Pause and Discuss

                      Do not be to quick to write off Podium, they have a few aces in their stack ๐Ÿ˜‰

                      I believe there will be a new version soon, which will sport a whole new render engine and a few new tricks, I honestly do not know more as I have been kept out of the loop. ๐Ÿ˜’

                          oh. . .I wasn't dissin' podium. I still use it. I was just wonderin' cuz of all the people who have picked up twilight. The only reason I brought it up was cuz I know you OLI do love podium so much. That's where I learned to render too. . .although not as well as you of course. Didn't mean to hijack the thread. It just occurred to me.

                          p.s. I don't know why my question got posted twice.

                              read the manual lol ๐Ÿ‘ฟ (I hate manauls too but its only small)

                              Right click on a target. can be a group or whatever...Click Twilight>Set Camera Target.....then set up your scene(it has to be in this order). Then in your twilight camera settings you will see F-number. It is default set at pinhole (i think). Change this setting....the lower the number the more intense the DOF is....if you go for a high number it is less noticeable. I used F-number 2 for this image. Then just hit render. I used a progressive setting (2800 passes) and seemed to get better effect. it takes a bit longer to render but worth it.In your camera settings you can also chnage the type of tonemapping while it renders....exposure, gamma etc give it a go...i end up with like 5 different versions of the same render hehe

                                          I am sure that if You, "the Vray Master" try Twilight, you will do some amazing render as you already done with Vray... ๐Ÿ˜‰
