@dagon1978:

Thank you for posting the scene but where can I find the ‘DGS_fresnel’ material? Sorry to bother you again.

:thumbsup:
great website!!

edit:
mouser u can use DGS for the chair… the difference is a metal chair or a plastic chair, nothing else :wink:

#264

yep bmcaff is a really nice guy:thumbsup:

#265

Thank you Popol. After adding another missing one (ReflectionUtility 1.3), I finally managed to produce a similar result. Thanks for all your kind help.

Sunny day: Render time 4min 05sec

#267

in case you have not seen my chair…

#268

andronikos916 good looking render.
In the specular reflections of the light, the reflections look pretty jaggy, are they polys showing up, not smoothing in the reflections ?

#269

Yup, I’ve seen it over in the Maxwell forum.

That is a very good image. I like those reflections and it is noise free.
How long was the render ?

Maxwell is awesome (can’t wait for Pablo to do the Rhino port).

P.S. If you don’t mind posting the model, I can try it with AIR. I think it may be possible in about 3min or less.

#270

can you share the chair to render it with maxwell???

Andronikos,

Sorry, I uploaded to my server, then I got distracted and forgot to post the link.

Here is the model: TestChair.7z
(It is a 7zip file. You can unzip it using PowerArchiver)

Sorry guys…a little off subject

The green chair on page 17 created by dagon1978…how is the reflection utility conected
to the shader or is it connected somewhere else? vbmenu_register(“postmenu_1923712”, true);

#272

nice fast render… but what about quality?
it seems a beautiful soft occlusion render :thumbsup:

#273

i think isn’t too important what shader do u use for this render
i’ve simply used a dgs_fresnel to make a plastic-like shader, nothing else :wink:

#274

yea, you could use a simple phong shader, but the advantage of using the DGS is speed of render.Ive heard something that with the Maya 6.5 things are faster specially with MR
:buttrock:

#275

have u tried maya6.5?? with mr3.4???

:applause: :buttrock:

#276

Hi dagon1978,

Yes this is an occlusion render.
Still learning the package. I am sure there is a way to improve color bleeding on the image.

So far I am really impressed by the occlusion speed of AIR. The images can come ultra smooth and with high antialiasing and tight sampling rates and they are still fast.

Hey Thomas, check your private messages.
cheers

Dont suppose theres any chance of anyone releasing some open source files for 3dmax? We see thousands of great renders but very little in the way of open source. Lot of settings isnt a great help when most settings are missed off that make a huge difference. It would be nice to see some open source lighting of high quality. If anyone knows of any please let me know.

#279

Does anybody know if air can be used with maya?
It would be nice to try it out. :slight_smile:

#280

some more renderings with maxwell that I did… not finished yet…but you can understand the overall illumination.
