A chance to win a Thea License
-
Yes Marian, congratulations.
You will really enjoy Thea
-
Thank you very much guys.
I can't believe I actually won something like this.
I'm looking forward to give Thea a try. That'll probably happen next week, I can't wait.

Can I see the image?
Well done BTW

It was a luck thing. No ability or talent was requiered, just the dumb luck to have your name drawn from a list.

Oh, I thought it was a render competition.
Looking forward to see that Spaceship rendered once you both decide to build different things

It's gonna look cool....maybe. -
The 7 P's , Proper, Planning, and Preperation, Prevents Piss Poor Performance, we will build something don't you worry,

There IS one now actually: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=46481 (and also welcome Christina!)
Oh, and yes, congrats, Marian!

First render using Thea.
-
That looks fantastic, how long did it take Marian?
-
It's not that fantastic...I need to learn how to get better renders.
It's was about 20 minutes of render time and 15 of setup time. -
I like the reflections, and it didn't take that long
-
If I had let it render for 40 minute or an hour it would have looked better, but it was just a test. I'm now looking at the tutorials.
-
Pretty damn fine start Marian.
The Thea forum is really responsive, one of the things I love about this software.
Kepp it up -

Kepp it upThanks, it's nothing much. I'll see if I'll be more than a lurker there. There are some pretty good artists there.

Btw, is there a way to shorten the render time by lowering the quality and not have these artifacts? Even on long renders they don't disappear completely.
-
Change to biased under Render > Presets....
Then render your image in the Darkroom.
-
Yey, thanks Rich.

You can try "Final Gathering" -preset. It works well for exterior rendering.
One reason for noise is light components or emitters that intersects with other geometry. Light components have a 'Soft Shadow (m)' parameter that represents the radius of the light bulb, keep the size small enough that component will not intersect with geometry. Also if you use infinite plane, caustics will not converge properly.
With TR1/TR2 I'd recommend to use render setting Supersampling = High, specially with any smaller resolutions. Leave it auto for Adaptive (AMC).
