Some of my SU + KT works

Hi all.

this is my first post in the gallery (2nd post total). i asked a question in the Extensions corner so i guess its also fair for me to contribute some of my renders rather than leech info all the time (which i have been doing everyday since i was a member sorry about that)

all renders are SU + KT with photoshop (line overlay) thanks!

Wow, these renders are top notch!

Except maybe the too much bump on the water surface - it looks a bit like a windy lake rather than a pool.

I agree with Gaieus...
Top notch (in particular the interior restaurant image)...

You should re-scale the water material and it will improve the quality signicantly...

majid

really nice renders mate. I only guess that you've used thin glass material for your tables, I offer testing dielectric glass, and as Frederick says, for sure , re-scaling the water, will improve the material

madhav

wow those are amazing.

Very nice work with the KT renders. Looks great!

Very impressive renders - you are obviously not a novice at rendering - the restaurant image is fantastic.

Hi Majid.

isnt dielectric glass mat used for mirrors? (correct me if im mistaken) whenever i use it it gives off white speckles so i often use NK Metals chrome for my clear mirrors to avoid these artifacts. i render using the photon map preset usually btw.

also the water is just from your water pack. how do i adjust the scale? im not really an advanced user, started off in podium then switched to KT as my render app. im actually thinking of switching to twilight and have tried the demo but it seems its a bit slower than KT but definitely easier to understand.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Sorry, but you are mistaken...
Please make a search at the KT Forum to understand materials and material behaviours better...

Please check page 17 in the KT Getting Started tutorial...
The only difference is, that you don't have a bitmap in the Diffuse channel...
Instead you have a bitmap in the bump-map channel, which you can adjust...

Since the Twilight Render uses the KT render engine (just like Podium v1.x is), you shouldn't notice any difference in render times - as long as you're using the same render preset...

Please note that the TWR presets have been optimized for Twilight, but you can use all the KT render presets in TWR as well...

the feel and style of these images are great. Congrats on a very good job. The interior restaurant one is my favorite
