      The chair I designed for the previous speed modeling challenge, wanted to render it for a while now!

      some info:

      2000x2000pixels
      Studio HDRI lighting
      Ceramic material applied to backdrop (with noisemap for bump, I don't like it too clean)
      Satin plastic material to chairs, shininess 40. I used a seamless asphalt bumpmap for the surface texture lol, 0.4 bump strength
      Interior+ preset left to cook overnight
      DOF added in photoshop with depth render

      WHY NOT TRY A RENDER YOURSELF? HAVE SOME FUN! HERE IS MODEL: http://www.box.net/shared/pkpi2ca8z1

        Nice render, you waited for this all night. πŸ‘
        But this kind of visualization doesn't need GI exactly. Direct lighting with some tricks could produce even better results and no noise. It could take 10-60 sec too, blurred reflections included. What are you trying to do here Oli? πŸ˜„

            I just couldn't be bothered setting lights up so i used hdri! took 2 minutes to setup.

            mate i wouldn't get 10-60 second 2000x2000 render on my dual core! i dont want the surface to be too clean, it doesn't look right.

            i like a bit of noise!

                      Used SimLabs Composer 2.1 as it imports .skp(and many more) and has it's own UV Mapping feature which is easy to use. Still getting to grips with it but so far i'm happy. Not as flexible as Twilight but still effective

                        rclub: your UV tests....is it just projection? or you on another app? look very funky indeed!!

                        Thanks alex, i wanted a nice subtle plastic texture! injection moulded plastic is never clean....always got little bumps in it.

                        yeah feel free to download the model and do what you like with it (its in the competition thread) I'm still waiting for one to finish rendering haha!!

                        by the way I specced up a mac pro computer on apple website (for a laugh)....I chose all the best options, screens, hard drives etc......Β£12,000 lol lol lol ($18,350

                        Just a little joke:

                                      Just for amusements sake - this is the 3 chairs with those polygons modo tags as 'coplanar' removed.
                                      Kind of a cool image.

                                            Care to share those TWR settings? Especially the reflection value. I presume that's the brushed metal you shared awhile back?
