I'd not heard of Sironi before, I must admit.
Really? You will love his work.
Agree about De Chirico's later work. -
looking good
! -
Thanks, Jeff.
This is another test -no global illumination. I like the previous one better, but this one rendered roughly 50% faster. Which is kinda interesting.
-
This is erm ... something.
-
Great stuff Tom!
-
Thanks, Tina.
Doodling ... I wonder, can anyone guess which renderer I used? (Trying to determine whether this is going in the direction I'd like.)
-
I think I'll go with Indigo Renderer!
-
Podium?
-
@ Filippo: Wrong, but thanks. I must be doing something right.
@ Tina: No -I'd have a hard time pulling this off with Podium, I think.It's weird how you chose apps from the opposite ends of the rendering spectrum.

Thea
or POV-Ray

Thanks, Oliver. And ... you're wrong. It's Modo. I guess I've reached a point where I can make any renderer looks as crap as any other.
Presto ... hmm, let's see how 1.3 handles this.
-
The renderer doesn't matter, as long as people can't immediately identify what it is then I believe you've hit your goal. It's just what's best for you in terms of render speed and setup speed. If it's a two click operation then even better, but rare of course! Yeah the new thea is supposed to be a massive improvement but I've not had any time to play with it. I need a new computer too, seems mobile phones are more powerful than my mac now!!

....I find it very cute crap (especially the last pic)

Yup. As for speed, setup etc: Modo isn't the fastest in either respect (although it isn't slow either), BUT: its renderer is very flexible, and then there's the added bonus of sub-ds, psubs, texture painting etc.

I take it upgrading parts isn't an option? I tried doing that with my old Mac Pro some time back. Long story short: couldn't get the parts. I bought a PC instead. Mac: nay! PC: yay!

No, it's an imac and all I could do was upgrade ram which I've done. I love simplicity of mac and the fact I've had this for 6 years without many issues. It just works. I looked at building a PC and it works out £2000 for a sweet 6 core setup versus £2500 for a quad core imac. On paper the PC is much better pound for pound but the mac is simple, easy and clutter-free. Decisions, decisions.
Sorry to go off-topic, I will have to make another thread when I come to decide which direction to take. Thanks for your input and keep it up!
-
I like the direction on the style is going, but some odd internal refractions are visible, maybe interior is solid glass? Use "thin glass" with windows? Maybe a bit too much AO shadows below it or is it just how model is illuminated...
-
Yep, needs more work. In all sorts of manners.

Quite allright, really. My two cents: yes, Macs, 'just work'. They're sleek and they're cool -I like 'em. They're also overpriced. Which, in my opinion, is especially problematic with regards to workstations. Because those need upgrading, once in a while. More RAM, new GPU, et cetera. If you want to buy a new part for your Mac workstation, you're going to pay through the nose -whilst there's far less choice than for the PC. Certainly when your Mac's a few years old.
I got a PC and an iMac. PC's for work, iMac's for entertainment. Best of both worlds, as far as I'm concerned.
