[WIP] Reconstruction of my favorite disco Palladium New York

jo-ke

what do you mean by "sorting"? At the moment the beams doesn't work anymore. I added some other lights to the scene, I don't know what happend but the "fogbeams" doesn't render anymore.

I mean making sure the rest of the lighting works before you play with beams.

With a fog material the camera must be outside the" fog box" or it won't render (for bias) and the camera must be inside the fog box for unbias (progressive presets)

I was using preset low and the camera was definitely outside the fogbeams.

I have an older version and the render in the same position still works, but not at the new verson.

here's another one without beam (but with preset 11, so I expected no beams)

a small render after 4 and a half hours with preset low.

I think I make the big one, when I'm out...

I'd say you've captured the nightclub look perfectly. Which is not an easy thing to do with so many lights and odd shadows.

yesterday I rebuild the famous stairs with the lights. I rendered the scene again in twilight with preset low for 12 hours. I don't know what happend but the beams weren't rendered right to the end.

same scene, preset 10 for 6 houres without volumetrics

at the moment I'm working on an update of this old project:

a panorama of that old project.

I still haven't found a way to render that project in preset low to preserve the lightbeams. So I've lost the nice beams but it's a nice render anyway.
