bentothemax Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I wasn't sure if this fits in radiosity or showcase, so i'm putting it in both (better than neither right?) The pop-bot and that amazing render Brian Prince did, inspired me to try some radiosity of my own. I don't think it's as good as theirs . . . but it's mine 32 lights for the sun, 15000 photons, max samples, 7hrs 40 min. Odd shadow thing i noticed with the shadow of the tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakchas Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Seven hours to render? Yikes... that scares me... Is it because of radiosity? I looked at your hardware... so I'm wondering why the length of time... I remember 36 hour renders on a 486... Seems a 46 or 4700 with your Ram should be faster... But understand, I know nothing... Otherwise I like it are you talking about the "fisheye" in the leftmost shadow? Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_j_clarke Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Seven hours isn't uncommon for Radiosity... I think you've got a good thing started. The shadow in the foreground is a little distracting to my eye, and I'd love to see a red brick, or richer color for the ground to bounce up the walls...just a thought. What BPrince image were you talking about, BTW? - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentothemax Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 I can't seem to find it, but it was under the topic called "This is where i eat my hat" I will reinstate the brick texture, my computer crashed and i forgot to reinstall the simbiont AM thing. I'll rerender it soon, after my movie is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gschumsky Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Nice start Ben. 7 hours ain't too shabby. Took almost 30 to do my scene with all the VW bus balls.. (G4/733). Patrick, the BP scene was the one with the room, window and table, where Brian moved the shot and rendered it with radiosity... Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick_j_clarke Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Brian's window thread. wow. Brian kicks butt! As always very impressive. bentothemax: get that movie finished and let's see some more! - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentothemax Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Well, I've decided i can't make the deadline for the mini film contest, so i'll enter my movie in the mood shot contest. I didn't do any new renders. I was playing around with relections and refraction and such (The image turned out pretty cool) BUT i found this one PS. srry for low-res . . . I'll try to post new renders ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentothemax Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 Here is a new render I forgot to turn on multi pass . . . It took 30 hrs total (20 antialiasing ) The grass on the sidewalk is messed up, i meant to put a density map, but forgot to before i rednered. I added a little garden thing, changed the camera angle, and added global lighting ( The blue light from the atmostsphere [i think thats what its called]). I also put a brick texture on the walls, i need to change that some. But this is what i have so far . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Beautiful! Something that you might want to try is putting a little depression in the paving slabs where they meet the brick walls and some grit. You could do alot by just applying some bump maps to those areas. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 It's looking real great so far. It seems a little dark ot me, like a cloud is going by the sun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamin3d Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hey that's cool! Amazing the difference in mood between the first picture and this. Kind of a desert life to city life. Good stuff! Peace, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Nice work- beautiful imagery- thanks for sharing...those render times scare the crap out of me, I won't be trying radiosity for quite some while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentothemax Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hey guys, srry for not posting anything lately. I've been reading alot more on radiosity lately, and I'm still experimenting. I'll do some touchup work to the peice and once i get ideal radiosity settings, I'll rerender it (at 32 hrs a render i want to be pretty much satisfied before i give up my computer for a day and then some). more to come!

bentothemax Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 There is another render using only one light in the radiosity forum under 'my attempt' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentothemax Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Here is my latest. It's a low res render srry, I wanted it to be done when i got back from baseball 9 pass : 1 light : 2.3 gamma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_waters72 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I've been reading alot more on radiosity lately, and I'm still experimenting. For someone who is definitely intrigued and inspired by the results of radiosity but very much a newbie to the subject, where is: a) a good 'place' to start and valuable resoucres on the subject (A:M related and otherwise) Many thanks for the advice and the inspiration.

ypoissant Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 where is: a) a good 'place' to start and valuable resoucres on the subject (A:M related and otherwise) You might want to start with the Cornell Box tutorial that you will find in the Radiosity forum. Also check those tutorials about Photon Mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentothemax Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yes, exactly what Mr Poissant said, I've read the cornell box tut about 10 times. Also look at the tuts at His website. It also helps to just look around in the radiosity forum glad i could inspire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
