Cool stuff Sid, if you use an IBL and not physical sun it will render even faster and give even smoother shadows.

Hi,
i'm very interested in Thea Render, the results that i see online are truly amazing.
I think tomorrow will download the trial version.
@Solo: excuse my ignorance, but what is an IBL?

thanks
Ivan

Thanks Frederik...
Solo it is actually both IBL and sun at the same time.
Ivan, IBL stands for image based lighting, be it hdr or ldr.

Nice Sid!

Mate that is an eye catching car too, what is it? I so wish I had the time, money and mechanical ability to restore an older car with character. There is just that nice nostalgia around them. Love it!

sepo

Thanks Richard. It is Mazda...Yes it would be nice to be able to have one of these.

That's a great render Sid. That car is a LOT of fun to play with. Here is a copy in the warehouse:

You Thea people are driving me crazy!

Because of these blasted beautiful Thea renderings you keep posting
I am afraid I must find time.

Thanks a lot!

sepo

It seem out of focus... You should try the auto focus...
I'm sure supersampling set to high would help also in this scene...

sepo

Hmmm.... it does look out of focus on the forum but the image on my desktop does not.....
It had autofocus and autosampling was on auto.

Nice render sid.
Just curious, why you all testing renderers on cars? I personally find them rather ugly objects. And boring... I prefer objects that involve SSS, caustics and even more like huge amount of faces etc.

sepo

Thanks Michalis. I do not find all of them ugly ...on the contrary. The reason I play with cars at moment is simply because the scenes are quite easy to set up.

This might be better asked at the thea forum, but how do you cast shows on the "ground" of an IBL background?

boofredlay

dsarchs, this will show you how easy it is.
