Quick and dirty clay renders

michaliszissiou

why is 2 minutes slow? it was viewport resolution on 24 inch imac (dont forget interior is modeled too) with quality setting (biased)

normally it's quicker but soft shadows take a bit longer to render.

No, I'm just trying to say that its fast! Really fast!

Love the clarity of the clay render - it produces a "truthful" image if you understand what I mean!

That looks like a prime candidate for an exterior / interior render in the future with those big sun rooms

Ouch... I think your post has been hijecked Oli.... Sorry to see that.
Love the clarity of the renders. No nonsense, clear and very informative to the point renders.
Yeah, corbelling seems quite strange.

olishea

by strange do you mean completely unnecessary and pastiche!! I can't believe client asked for it but ah well its not my money.

thank you Sid...this is going in for planning next week so it has to be very precise and clear.

Cheers dermot....i will eventually do some proper internals.

I believe the title should say: Crisp and clean clay renders...
GREAT work, Oli...

OK podium uses KT engine and so does twilight....so I'm afraid there wouldn't be much differenceif any between the two.

I fully agree with you...

sepo

"by strange do you mean completely unnecessary and pastiche!! "

Yes and Yes.

Sorry Olli, I am to blame for the thread hijack.

But I also realise that this forum has a problem.
It has become impossible for an 'ordinary' forum member (read: without affiliation to commercial software) to share a testimonial on using a particular software.

Somehow it just triggers all the commercial people to come and 'defend' their product.
Well guys, your products were never under attack.

I seriously have had enough.
Either this is a forum or it is something else.

Users can't have opinions anymore or share experiences in good trust. A real shame!

No Chris, I only said I shouldn't - in my "position". Not even that mustn't just shouldn't.

Stinkie

Fight! Fight!

Nice renders, Oli!

kwistenbiebel

I am not blaming you csaba or other moderators. i know you try to keep your integrity.
I am not blaming the commercial people either as I can understand the jumpiness.

What I wanted to adress is the general climate that has been created on this forum that doesn't allow users to evaluate software and share an opinion in good trust anymore.

Well done SCF management!

sepo

I do not mind either way Chris...although nowdays I try not to get into who's father is stronger and viral marketing.

kwistenbiebel

I know what you mean and I don't want to get to that debate again.
But it is just sad that this is the result.
People can't even tell anymore which software they use, for crying out loud.

olishea

Don't worry about it biebel, somebody had to say it. it pisses me off too.

You can hijack my thread all day long mate I've learnt so much from your work and you don't even know about it!

I have said this before: "You can not polish a turd"

You could make any render engine produce these results but lets face it guys.....does your client ever say "wow is that vray?" haha

[edit] thanks for compliments people but you know what I didn't even add reflection to the windows haha

I'll post textured externals when I'm done

"before anyone asks and starts a render war!!"
This will be the name of my new thread

olishea

haha

here is another version with that 'toy camera' image editor (free from here : http://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/products.html)

if you download it make sure you get all the versions cos you get some cool filters. works for mac and pc.

This took about 30 seconds!

Both programs are brothers, with their mother being the Greek goddess Kerkythea, and brothers should not fight.

And I agree that you did a very neat work, Oliver. My models are a mess compared to yours.

sepo

Great mood in this one. I am thinking you do not really need any reflections...kind of raw and beautiful as they are.

michaliszissiou

I prefer the new toycamera version, its much faster but most importantly, has this zuiko lens simulator. Anyway it costs 10$, just for this small watermark, you can delete it after all...

olishea

thanks mate you are the mood man. it needs more shading devices I can imagine it getting quite uncomfortable in the summer. I think it'll help break up the brick a bit too. and sid....ive made absolutely sure they are dark grey powder coated window frames this time! thanks to you and bigstick there! any RAL you recommend?

by the way the windows are huge like this because they have an awesome view of an open valley and no houses to look in. so privacy not really an issue to this elevation.

olishea

i didn't realize the watermark was so small....anyway you know what I'll buy it I've used it enough times and they deserve at least 10 dollars for it but maybe not if they start wanting all that western union money transfer bull.
