VRay-like interior renders with mental ray???

#281

you can use Air with Mayaman from animalLogic
But I think after so much renderer inklusive PRman (RenderMan® for Maya) building
there own “X toMaya translator” it’s just a matter of time that
sitexgraphics does the same :slight_smile: because they have to.

:thumbsup:

rendertimes rendertimes rendertimes :scream:

#283

ok ok ok

10hrs dual xeon 2.8

#284

those are excellent renders… wow :sad:

#285

why is there bugger all OPEN SOURCE! just to learn more about lighting? everyones willing to show renders, but not wanting anyone else to get the same quality by not sharing.

#286

i’ve shared 2 scenes in this thred!!
but, i think share is not an obligation!!

#287

10hrs dual xeon 2.8
ten hours for that blocky shit… it will takes 100h to get a final result !! you have time to waste. :slight_smile:

Dont take that too serious andronikos :rolleyes: , both you and maxwell did a great job. Keep it up! And keep posting your progress! :thumbsup:

#289

Yes it is possible… but you are not lucky :sad: … Myaman costs $1990 on top of AIR.
In Rhino we get Rhinoman for free. So it is more viable.

If that is all you can say about these images then it looks like the lenses of your mind are defective. You can’t even recognize reality when you see it. :rolleyes:

Maybe a certoon rendering will look more real to you ?

that’s real!
great renders!!

so neutronic, post some renders, i’m curious :wink:

#292

i saw the price on their site :cry:

i guess it´s a bit expensive just to try it out… :shrug:
i was just curious about air.

i´ll stick with mentalray for now, witch is realy great by the way…

My two cents on the chair rendering… IBL (galileo probe), dgs and finalgather (3x) only, using the technique I mentioned earlier in this thread. No lights have been used. 49min on distrib. 2x AMD ~2GHz:

PS: Sorry, this comes some days too late. I bought me a new GF6600 GT and had huge probs getting the drivers to work… literally went through hell the whole last week. :scream:

#294

if you are using maxwell just ask me something…

#295

please show me your interiors first…

thanx for the understanding. Maxwell is still alpha so rendertimes are not that good.:smiley:

#296

Hi guys! Great work.

andronikos916: your classroom scene is AMAZING, and Maxwell has a unique look.
It’s just so SO natural… if you see what I mean.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

BTW, here is my chair rendered in XSI using GI/FG.
10 min. on 3Ghz P4 / 1.5 GB

I think the quality of Maxwell renders is downright amazing, but I have to admit the render times mean everything to me. I do visual effects work, not print or architectural, and keeping the frame time down is crucial. I know Maxwell’s alpha… here’s hoping.

Look, people aren’t going to do the work for you, if you have a scene your having problems with, why don’t you post your images and I’m sure theres lots of people that will help.
We also need to know what render you are using.

cheers

#299

Go andronikos, nice looking renders. I can’t wait for the next release of Maxwell, not long now. Fingers crossed for some speed optimizations.

yes maxwell is slow, dielectrics are nearly unusable and its not flexible at all, but the brightness is not limited by rgb values so the way it simulates overexposed areas is just amazing.

I haven’t used mr extensively, so I wonder if this effect could be achieved with a mr camera?
