Quick and Dirty WIP...very raw + V2

michaliszissiou

An excellent render here.
This gave me an idea BTW. Thanks sid.

Thanks Troyhome and James

Modeling took much longer than that. Rendered in Podium under 4minutes . PP in Photoshop. Curves, colour contrast, high pass.....blending....+ SU monochrome no shadows export twice the resolution 20% multiply blend... vignette...frame...merge layers...save

Second one has different colour mapping + extra vignette.

twice the res? i'll have to try that- probably gives a more crisp image...

sepo

OK...forgot to mention there is blended sky gradient as well.

Thanks Tomsdesk and Michalis. I really enjoy this combo I call "No fuss presentation"

sepo

Here is same render with Podium V2 Beta. PP only vignette and reduced size. I did not do anything to the model but point and shoot. Will explore later new material editor.

I love them, really a nice mood, I just don't get it how you could see that as a sketch hehe
I would love to achieve such quality in NPR!

Btw, do you have more info to share about Podium 2.0..? Sounds very interesting ^^

sepo

Thanks FoXar. Podium V2 is hitting beta shortly and I mean it. Podium has new render engine under the hood. Love the clarity and colour depth which we have with new version.

FoXar

Wow great that's nice to know, is it the new Thea engine btw? Sure it's looking nice, warm and vibrance colours, great contrast,
looking forward to test, damn so many renew (and great) rendering apps coming out this year, Thea, Podium, Twilight, Vue, Vray,.. and I'm sure I've forgot
to add some to the list.
Btw, will I have the need to have a key for testing?

Greetings

sepo

No it is not Thea. It is brand new render engine nothing to do With Kerky or Thea. When we move into Public Beta (very soon) than existing owners of Podium will have access to test V2....so you need to own V1.x in order to test V2.

And yes love the crispness of the renders. Still simple to use, really nothing around this simple.

FoXar

Sure it's awesome, the crispness can be compared to higher end renderers like Vray and such, looking forward to test the trial, as I don't have any key
Great work on the software anyways!

sepo

I think the quality is there as you say, with big guys. It took us a long time but we are there I at last. It is not as easy to have render quality such as Vray and have simplictity that beginers can grasp in no time.
There are still small issues to be sorted but those will be solved during beta.

FoXar

It's very nice you all managed that then, what I was just wondering, are there any plans on a refreshed website?

Cheers!

sepo

not sure what you mean.

FoXar

Oh my bad, I was saying that you made nice work on the software, and second I was wondering if you might give the website a new
appearance because of the new Podium version

sepo

Donno...we did not plan to do as such.

FoXar

Ok thanks to let me know.

Ps; I've just sent you a PM

Nice work, Sepo..... looking forward to V2 next year!!!

Yes we are shortly moving into public beta. We will release public beta around Xmas time.
So you will be able to test it soon.

Thanks.... I love the output. It looks great without even messing with materials.
