Post your experimental renders here!

11 Sep 2005this is a plaec where you can post test renders, simple renders, simple models, etc. i guess i'll start it off:
-
12 Sep 2005Well....lighting-wise I think it looks cool! About as realistic as 2 teapots in a pink box can get
You can do better though!
*edit....just realized this is a "simple renders" (for everyone) thread....so I'll forgive ya
-
13 Sep 2005DUH i can do better! this is just a lighting test, and to see how cool pink rooms look and they do look very cool
-
13 Sep 2005I know I know
It's just that I mean you can do better for this forum....I realize the point of this thread....but I think we're all better than teapots at this point! (even if it is just a lighting test)
Now....if they were purple dragons in a dimly lit dungeon.... -
13 Sep 2005teapots are fun, dont be dissin' the teapots. and on that note, here's a stupid test sine i just got 3ds max 7 this morning @_@ horray mental ray SSS.
-
13 Sep 2005See...there ya go
...this last one is much more practical -
13 Sep 2005i dont know what you're talkin about, that's a teapot if i ever saw one
edit: what if i used the teapot i actually made? oh yes quite right i made my own teapot and it kicks arse, i'll give a link as soon as i can find it. -
13 Sep 2005No I mean like...doing things like SSS tests on simple objects is a more advanced way of practicing "the basics"
Doing reflective teapots is something I'd expect from ideziojr over at the3dstudio -
13 Sep 2005what about a refletive shpere on an infinite checkerboard plane?
-
13 Sep 2005yes! ....YES!

Im not sure he knows how to do a teapot, or how to make a nice reflection. And if it was reflective it would probaly have no real world light physics on it such as how we use a falloff map with frensel...
and just because we are on teapots here are some cool things about teapots

13 Sep 2005*slap* i already know all about the teapots thank you very much.
maxwell render: 30 mins

14 Sep 2005@ g3org3:
Well I'm just saying, this isn't a forum where one should post things like default teapots with reflection....if you don't know how to make such a thing, then travel to http://www.the3dstudio.com, threedy.com or any other number of places where you can learn how to make reflective teapots and cubes and whatever else. This is a forum meant for advanced work (and experimentation if you wish) and not for incredibly simple stuff
THAT being said...the SSS test he posted, and the metal material test he posted are acceptable because some work actually seems to have gone into them (whether for properly lighting or material settings).
I don't want to have to rule with an iron fist or anything here, but as long as we keep the work posted here up to a standard of quality, we won't have many of the same problems that other forums (like the3dstudio) had/have.

15 Sep 2005Guys for maxwell, use a program called Neat image afterwards, it can save ALOT of time.
It reduces grain on images imensly, you can get a trial on the site, at the moment i dont have link but just search Neat image in google im sure ya find it easy. -
15 Sep 2005ah thats a good idea, usually i use neat image to remove grain from photos, but it does work with those maxwell renders, until they make a fastar version :p

Ya i will have to agree with that. I was just refering how idezjor never would advance in his work so he couldn't even post something that good..
An idea is to have just a thread dedicated to shaders and materials and stuff. -

that's more-or-less what this thread has become. why not make a sticky where u can post 'experiments' and things. like trying out new software, new rendering techniques, new materials, etc. -
15 Sep 2005Done.

30 Sep 2005my first attempt at greeble(not that it's hard or anything
):

-
olli96 30 posts30 Sep 2005i was gonna post a screenshot but wmp won't let me cap
*cough* get the latest vlc player, plays everything and allows you to make screenshots of the movie

01 Oct 2005Yeah, I think we've all done a blue skylight greeble shot just the same somewhere down the track.
-
02 Oct 2005yeah, well i hadnt
-
18 Oct 2005first time using mental ray. yeah i think i finally got it and yeah tyson i know i only used a sphere but i didnt have time to mdoel anything.
-
18 Oct 2005Don't worry...I made this thread for that kinda stuff.
You're forgiven -
18 Oct 2005you mean I made this thread!

18 Oct 2005NNnnnnoooooooo!!!!!
*tdot prances off into distant sunset -
22 Oct 2005bloom effect from a tut i got at 3dtotal.com very nice effect it produces. had always wondered how to do it after seeing it in lightwave renders constantly.

01 Nov 2005reflection study, wanted to see how exact mc escher was.
escher's original:

01 Nov 2005furry teapot

01 Nov 2005THe hair and fur world space modifier is cool...
did you find the hair styler yet? -
01 Nov 2005yeah i found it, but its a little laggy to work with so much hair, i'll make one with like 2000 hairs tomorrow and style the crap out of it.
-
01 Nov 2005another thing that bugs mw is that cause its a WSM you can isollate it to a certain part of your model... i have had to make 1 part export it, and then import it into a different scene
-
01 Nov 2005why does that bug you? i dont understand
-
01 Nov 2005it takes alot longer , it would be esaier if you could select the polygons you want to affect and then have the modifier applied only to them.
-
01 Nov 2005you can though. in the wsm you can select the polygons u want the hair to be on and then hit apply.
-
03 Nov 2005How ?
I really Cant Doi that -
03 Nov 2005That fur looks awesome
-
03 Nov 2005http://media.putfile.com/gretrsdfg oooh field animation only 2 minutes of render time per frame!
-
04 Nov 2005really bad box model of a sky line... man i suck
-
04 Nov 2005
playin with effects.. lol
boredom rules -
04 Nov 2005Hey thats really cool, what you do to create that?
-
04 Nov 2005yeah i'm interested to know as well i dont know my way around the effects very well.
-
04 Nov 2005wow, people like that
, may have to write a tutorial on how to make it...
ppl on my site like it aswel....
wow.. playing is goooood
but basically its, a geosphere, with a few bevels for the spikes, then noise, then sqeeze it till it turns inside out, then twist... i have the .max if you wanna have a play.
