    Found another way to speed up renders- maybe. I seem to remember that using Progressive Render can lower the effects of displacement but I used it in this render of Winterland. It only took about 14 minutes at 2300x1125. Without using it my render at 20 minutes was only a square in the middle about 100x100 pixels. (I use the spiral bucket order)

    Did you apply any sort of a bloom effect in post? The light looks so soft.

    Here is another effort. Not much innovation I'm sorry to say. Only invisible boxes on the water lanters. I think I used Harvest Moon for the lighting.

     

    The scene actually rendered out very light. Much too light for what I wanted. I may have over compensated. Then again I really did not like the way the woman turned out, so I emphasised the shadows on her.

    Bike is lit by the plane only. Emissives were used on the bikes lights and the cyborg eyes, as well as the trafic light and streetlights..

    Very nice! Does the bike have a low setting emissive, or is it lit only by the plane?

    Yes, I should have mentioned I used LDP-R again. Also I used some layering and masking tricks to darken the image overall but keep the lights, and highlight areas, bright. Nothing too fancy - I try to let Studio do most of the work :)

    wait you are usually not using progressive? I get way better results with progressive rendering in anythign that renders in 3delight

  • MarshianMarshian Posts: 1,462

    Oh My and Wow! I stopped using it because (long time ago) when I was rendering Stonemasons Winter Terrains in Progressive there were big holes opening in the mesh. I suppose maybe it was a bug in 3DL or something with those models in particular.

    Nice development of the viking boat dawnblade and I like those lantersn very much Joe!.

    Here is a portrait with the aim for a realistic view,  I used the day/ brown ground, this got rather reduced amounts of refelctive light and I out in a lighter gray for the reflective light.

    This is as it came out of the renderer, I made some colour adjustments in postwork which can be seen in my thread

    probably a different problem with the mesh that only became visible in the progressive.. but all my renders are progressive so I don't get much trouble with that and as far as I know its pretty much the standard by now.

    Some stuff doesn't render properly with progressive. Some stuff looks way better.

    Nice hacsart, that aqua glow- the new Stonemason set in the background? 

    I found another render, a still life of the curious tea props. I used the interior preset with spotlights pointed straight down. This provided some tasty bounce light off the table.

  • hacsarthacsart Posts: 2,025

    Now that's a nice one, Marshian!.. yes the new Urban Future 5 - saw it and promptly blew my DAz budget for a few months...

    Wow this makes me want to use that tea set.  Love the point of view, its really beautiful!

    Used KindredArts new space HDRIs for Iray with RR3 plus some emissives for the only light.  It needs some more light and a better skydome/environment to show the backgrounds.

    Latest one using the emissive shaders... Really a useful product!

    I just use the Portrait Light set - this has now become my favorite 3DL portrait lighting!

    I used V4's Warrior Maiden Okami texture on G2F, and had to fight with the surfaces to get it to look good, and then had to fight again to find the right lighting.  Thanks Marshian!

    Dracorn, your efforts were well spent, excellent render!

  • dracorndracorn Posts: 2,345

    Thanks FirePro9!   I meant it when I had to fight to get this one.  The V4 to G2F converter (for Poser materials) doesn't always include the maps and sets the skin to plastic.  I had to fiddle around with the subsurfaces quite a bit.  The lighting gave me fits too.  But the Reflective Radience portait settings were a breeze to customize.

    I dont know what happened but I stopped getting notices that new posts were going up.  What a treat to see the activity here!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Where is the thread for your new one? I'll get it as soon as May brings new money.. I love MC Esher works soe that is pure genious and I want to know how it works

    I'll wager its posed grouped primitives with captive cameras....  wink

    Yes, the cameras and props for Impossible Objects are specifically intertwingled.wink 

  • hacsarthacsart Posts: 2,025

    Yep.. I can see how that works.. took me a long time to work out the angles on this - three cubes lined up just so, with the proper camera angle.. I can really appreciate al the work you muts have put into that new set..

    Nice one, did you use the reflective radiance emissive shader for that one hascart? I was wondering if it will work in 3delight

  • hacsarthacsart Posts: 2,025

    Yep.. Reflective Radiance "Night" preset with an emissive shader on the cube object.. Set the emissiive strength  to 200% and the reflective light bounce strength to 180. UE2 light at 75% intensity, and shading rate of .10 Rendered fairly quickly in 3dl...
