Sponza style

Nice Solo, reall nice.....

Seeing this has jigged my memory; I wonder if you know of a style to replicate Sepia. Would like produce such images for a project coming up....

Drugged... I love it.
It immediately reminded me of a Spongebob episode where he and Patrick turned on Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy's Orb Of Confusion.

Yes I have seen every episode with my daughter... and a few without her

Utiler, I believe there is a sepia style standard with SU 6 pro, or at least a similar one in colors, if not then I would use a sepia effect in post processing.

Eric, I have two boys and we love Spongebob, I have built a full Bikini bottom model with all characters thats poseable (I have a few renders on my website in Fun section). The last one reminds me of University in the 80's.

I have seen your Spongebob renderings. I bet your boys loved that!

Nice work!

Can you post the .SKP file?

Or send it to al.hart AT renderplus DOT com?

I would like to try IRender Nxt's new indirect lighting algorithm with it.

Thanks,

solo

I sent it to your email, good luck and pls post the results.

Just a question, my image is 800x600, but seems to be cropped...see signature..??

The board is optimized for 1024 screen resolution.
This board is cropping these images while the old board exploded the style (the post was wider than the others)

What is better?

Thanks Coen

I will scale my renders accordingly in future.

Thanks for helping me find the SKP model.

I rendered it with the new IRender nXt engine, using HDRI illumination rather than the sun, and indirect lighting effects.

The one's with the plant, looks exellent. Had never seen this renders before.

I used to be a Accurender fan ( the core behind the IRender nXt ) but now i am mush disappointed about it's development. In old times it was way ahead its time ( remember Radiosty ) but now it's lacking a lot. see the above pic, how can you compare it even with podium. forget about the big brothers like Mexwell, Vray, Fryrender,KT, Indigo etc.

The point of the IRender rendering was that it was done without adding lights, etc.

Here are some more Sponza renderings of the same model created by another user:

Nxt is much improved for lighting and reflection. But its big value, especially for SketchUp users (who tend to create relatively quick 3D models of things, as opposed to, say, Rhino, which is used for much more complex models), is that it can make really good renderings with no effort - using the "High Dynamic", automatic lighting. And if you take the time to add a little reflection, it can be quite stunning.

See the nXt gallery for more samples: http://nxt.accurender.com/photos/

Also, (for the record), IRender nXt is not based on the old AccuRender engine, but on an entirely new engine, which is doing some really impressive things.
