I'm so so so so sorry... It's Light Shader, not Light Tracer...

KITCHEN
Software used : Cinema 4D R9.5 (AR 2.5)
Render time: 7hrs 2min

Only used 1 light which is an area light, juz placed it outside the windows to represent the sunlight.
Used GI for the light rendering and it took me 7 hrs. maybe my machine is not capable for rendering such a picture.

No final gather?

Nice pic

No problem..

edit: google it but still no light shader.. can u just please point to the source?

Its look pretty grainy, its intended? And theres window at the left hand side, so lights should come out from there too.

that is cinema 4d(they don't use mental ray,instead they have thier own render). I have noise in my render because i tweaked the wrong setting. Here is another shot of the kitchen scene.


I'm now rendering that scene in 3dmax7 without any texture. Only introducing mental ray GI + FG to it.

EDIT:
OK, Finally! here you go. A rough preview on what the lightning should like before i go further.

App : 3d max 7.5 (mental ray 3.4)
Render time: 10min++

any max user here.. or vray user.. lauyah. chewxy.. help. U got any good tutorials site with a nice explanation how to control that bloody caustics?? pening lar

Im trying max now.

btw boomer86 nice render. Anyway .. the piece on the floor was meant to be a carpet or ??

lauyah. chewxy.. u all now damn terra ar.. i browse tru the thread and saw alot of nice work

What the problem? Can upload some image? Probly can discuss here.

Heres some tut:

Wah.. Set your settingslah. You need to increase sampling, dude. Sampling and your AA needs work. But then again, maybe you want to save rendertime

If you're using MR, it's easy to control those caustics. Set ray #, number of samples, etc



Lauyah : Here's a Light Shader tutorial I found using Google - http://www.cg-academy.net/pages/free_tutor...sion_shader.htm

Oh yeah, Boomer86, your dining table a bit too high, right

Been to that site before, never explain how to get it, but figure out how to do it, but wasnt possible for version 6 and below, possible in ver.8 tho. Got to use occlusion shader. However, the result wasnt as good as GI + FG, some problem with the shadow, only can be solve increasing the sample. Doesnt save too much render time neither. So will stick with GI + FG for now.

BTW, thanks, learnt something new today.



Another render of an armchair, no texture, only default shader + bump map.

thats a pretty impressive blurriness effect there. how did u achieve it? camera movement ? motion blur?

ill try some first then ill upload it.. its just that.. im tired of trial an error.. there must be a formula that we can use to achiese certain results right?

I was trying to copy the blur from that vindiesel show... chronicles of ridd***

Here my old job.....
Really lazy to continue it.....

this is some of my work. Hope you guys dont mind visiting DA.

Mostly spare time doing for fun non professionalism things. yeah, i havent started on this course yet. so things may look unrealistic.

good job. so how did u manage to get this effect?

that's an interesting question. Because that was done 3 reformats ago. (I count the age of my work based on how many times I format my computer)

I don't remember

yo can i post my sketchup 3d works here... currently practicing architecture.. so this software helps in doin my perspectives... learned 3dmax.. onli usin it for rendering 3d models from cad... dunno how to create 3dmodels from 3dmax itself... not like u guys..



so here goes..








actually this 3dmodel was done for my consultation with my lecturers.. so its just a bit sketchy... not the actual form of the building
