Eric2575 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hah, anyone can go into a Catherdal and take a picture of some gemstones. I can see a reflection of you holding a camera in one of the gems. Seriously, I am speechless. Absolutely beautiful!!! You gonna let us know a few, no, lots more details on how you did that? Wireframe too please.

Uzzbay Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 That's awesome! This is not a critique as much as a "I am having a similar dilemma" type thing. I am working on some large stone slabs as well. In using the stone texture on them, I notice that the edge close to my camera looks a bit irregular where the other edges look crisp. I have been toying with the idea of making my stone mesh a bit irregular so the "away" edges seem more like the "front" edge but i seriuosly don't want to add more detail to my mesh and slow my render times down anymore. Here with yours..it appears that a good use "scaling" the texture and the "perceived" size of the object makes for a good combination. If that is indeed what you did. If so, hope you don't mind me borrowing the concept Nice work, thanks for sharing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomike Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I've just nearly finished a still for the image contest, and after viewing your wallpaper, I realize how much I truly suck. The awesomeness of your image is stupifying. Apparently knowing how to use those acronym-type things you mentioned is quite worthwhile.

Paul Forwood Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 That is beautiful, Xtaz! The little specular flecks of light on the wire stands give the impression of tooled metal. Is that intentional or is that the result of IBL? I would love to know the rendertime, patch count and light settings? Thanks for posting! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Thanks, Xtaz! I need to go and read the IBL and HDRI threads before attempting something like this but I was just curious about the environment image. Is it mapped onto a sphere or a box?

Xtaz Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 hi Paul : i used a projection map on sphere to reflect in objects .. and i used a flat patch as background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterS Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Just trying to get the sphere with Projection map to appear right. This is what I get, a big ugly seam as seen in the reflection orb. Made a material with HDRI image, had to flip it in HDRIShop in order to be right side up. Properties: Projection map, Method: Spherical, Type: Color, Repeats: 1,1. Seamless option does not seem to make a difference either way. Is there an ugly seam in your image too, just hidden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWBradbury Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I've been perfecting this technique for quite a while. What seems to be the problem? Could you post any images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
