I don’t know . The boat and mountains aren’t doing it for me. How about an elevated walk out to a circular observation/ sitting area. Not to big maybe 10-12’ diameter ?

Very cool. Really like the pond and lily pads.

@Mike-Amos …. Mr Mike, keep your chin up. Boats and canoes can be a real challenge. They look pretty simple but there’s not a straight line in them and it seems no two curves are the same.

@Rich-O-Brien …. Thanks Rich. I’ll take your word on the Harry Potter reference. I’m a little clueless on that. Did the glass effect in Twilight’s Deep Material Editor.

Late night fun. Inspired by what I’ve learned from the great gif’s posted by “Box”.

@L-i-am Well you got further along than I did. Put mine on the shelf also. It was starting to hurt my brain. I’m sure I’ll circle back to mine at some point also. 🫤

Thanks Bryan.

@Mike-Amos Thanks Mike. Hope your experiments with fire go well. Curious how doing flames would translate to Rayscaper.

Inspired by Mike A’s experiments. Have rendered flames before but not in an open fireplace. Somewhat challenging to get the look I was after.

Wonderful

Looking great so far.

@Dave-R I thought I forgot to take my 3D glasses off when looking at this last image. Fantastic

P.S. I meant to say my X-ray glasses. The ones I bought from the ad in the back of my comic book.

Cool

Mike, here’s another flame .png image you might like.

Mike, The testing is far from done. Need to mess about with light placement and power some more.

@Mike-Amos Couldn’t help myself. Experiments with Twilight. Very quick test of the whole scene. On the dark side, didn’t want to mess in post pro just for a test. Included images showing placement of flame .png image, point lights and their values.

@Mike-Amos I’ve never had any luck either making the flames an emitter. Have done decent flames in the past but never in an open fireplace. Doing some testing on a model I threw together. If I get some decent results I’ll post them up. Maybe my setup might be helpful.

@Bryan-K Thanks Bryan. Haven’t seen you around the forum of late. Hope all is well.

Always great to see the work of our master furniture modeler. Bravo

I wonder if you can illuminate the flames like you would in Twilight ? i.e. Flames imported as a .png image and illuminated by a number of small point lights low and in front of the image. Not sure of the lighting available in Rayscaper.
