Hi all! Hope I don't steal the thunder of the great image rcossoli has rendered: I had a look at Mahjid's model and, given the beauty of the scene, I decided to give it a try with Indigo Renderer. It is only a wip but I'd be glad if you guys could point me in the right directions..

very good picture, maybe we have to fix a little the tone of the lighting in photoshop, so that there is so lit areas and other somewhat obscure, but very good job, congratulations

I think you will be happy about the progresses I did - WITHOUT knowing your opinions - last night. I worked a little on the glass material on the left (which I still don't like a lot), I adjusted some materials and tried the lighting with HDR only (maybe not the right choice, but one has got to try). This is the result after 9hours of calculations and a little postpro.

exellent the glass in the left, congrats...
save it renders in the gallery of work I like and I see on the web

wow i missed these!! hdri lighting looks very natural yet intense . but it can leave resultant image a little noisy from time to time (higher quality hdri don't do this.....as much)

did you use hdri AND sunlight for the first image? cos the lighting looks very good for just sunlight!

stunning work!

Hi Oli! thank you for your reply: I'm always curious when you post a new work of yours, they're really excellent, very inspiring.
My images are only two, actually: the first one of this topic, which I suppose to be lit by sun/sky only btw, is Rcossoli's. The second and the third images in this topic are mine: the last image is only HDR (indigo is astonishing sensible concerning EXR maps!), the previous was sun/sky only, since sun/sky+environment mapping are still not supported by Indigo Renderer. They're working on it, though..

keep up the great work

Hi pibuz, I think you did a awesome job with unbiased render.
What render preset would you choose? MLT, PT, BPT..etc?
And how much samples would you shoot to achieve such quality?

pibuz

thanks again Oli!

Dspace: I don't recall the spp value at the moment. It rendered something like a night and half-a-day, maybe reaching something about 1000s/px. But I could easily be wrong.
