Hi,

Here is a pic I just did. I'm pretty new to G.I and Vray so go easy on me I've been through the forum over and over and struggling with the settings so would appreciate c&c. There are a few issues I'm aware of with light leakage and some strange bleeding and spots, but no time to improve any more...

The original was 3000*3000 pixels and rendered in 13.5 hours (!) on a 1.8 GB CPU using a pre rendered IR map and Lightcache. Linear colour mapping 1.5, 1.0

Brightened a little and added small DOF from Vray Z-buffer in PS

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks for commenting, glad you liked it The reason it took so long is that my QMC multiplir was way too high and I hadn't realised that I could reduce the IR map settings as I increased resolution from my test renders. At least I got some sleep

Here is a spherical panorama of the scene. You need Java runtime from www.sun.com/java installed to view it. http://www.maestromedia.no/19/19.html

What did you do for the rug?

[Tom B]

The rug is 3d displacement.

yeah the rug is really excellent. the rug is 1 large texture that isnt tiled right?

im not sure what is going on with the lighting on the ceiling. possibly crank up the subdivisions of the direct light outside ? I'm sure if you post some screenies of your settings people will comment
