Podium V2 interior

Stinkie

Have you tested what the time would be to render correct size with higher settings (better AA, etc) in comparison? Just wondering if there is a speed advantage or a quality advantage doing it larger.

No, I haven't. AA settings are contained within Podium's render presets. I find it more convenient to render large and downsample than to open up the preset I'm using, edit it etc. Also, altering AA settings, test rendering, altering AA settings again ... can be quite time consuming, and it's a process I'm not always in the mood for.

The next version of Podium will give more control over AA via the UI, I believe. Per material AA, or something.

I had to look that one up. Ew.

nice rendering but 53 mins. is too much
now in Lumion 2 you can do it less than 53 sec

Yeah, but the quality won't be the slightest bit comparable. I can make an omelette in around 60 seconds, but I wouldn't like to eat it!

I've seen what Lumion does, I've seen what all the render engines can do. They all have their benefits and drawbacks. Lumion's main benefit is speed, its main drawback is quality. Yes, I'm pretty sure you'll disagree but you'll be wrong - certainly as far as Podium is concerned.

Yeah .. .Pretty disgusting. that would turn your very elegant modernist expression into a cheesy bachelor pad. The only thing missing would be the hot tub and the gold medallions

Patrick Nagel is 30 years too late, it may have worked in the 80's with your Chinese themed black and white shellacked room but today it's just cheesy.

Remember these 80's gems?

Looks like his rubbish

The set up explanation was interesting and the light around the corner is the clever bit, so is there a key light behind the camera that sounds like a good idea anyway.
What is the QMC setting I know it's results take ages and it looks better but is there anymore tips on this, Thanks

Tom,

I did not want to post here as this is a Podium thread, however I posted here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=43169&p=386208#p386208

Rendered the scene with Thea bsd, then knocked out the wall and threw in some glass bricks.

Do the resulting renders from a white LEM, just outside the door, and a white sketchup background differ?

Stinkie

Hm, I should do a comparison to find out.

Stinkie

Thea version (TR1). Nothing too special.

Stinkie

Rebuilt an Evermotion scene and rendered it with Podium. Needs plates and stuff.

2kemon

...you're on to something here! Very cool indeed.
Did you compare the results with LEM's outside openings VS. just a white SU background?

Stinkie

Hm, no. Wouldn't be too different, I believe, from the second image, which is lit by Podium's physical sky. The main difference would be that you have less control over your lighting.

you're really pushing podium to the next level here, stinkie..

Stinkie

Thanks, Jason. There really isn't that much to it, though.

Stinkie

Mo'.
