Light Study and Gamma

[jow]

nice, the vray ones are loads better looking....

[dimo]

Any info on the rendertimes? How many minutes did VRay render and how many days maxwell?

render times...
well for flash render it was 5 min on dr, but that would be 50 min on single node
as to gi one, its qmc/lc with dome light at 100 subdivisions for noisless shadow, so it was 10 hours on dr, do the math your selves :P
however maxwell one wasnt any better. Maxwell has rendered similar image in 40 hours and it looked like it needed another 60 so...here you go

[dimo]

Hmm,

if I'm doing the math right the image rendered 100 h in Vray?

[Morbid Angel]

indeed this is however is equivalent to ppt...so such result is not a surprise. However a part of the slow down in my first plastic - 1 shader which was made of 3 shellacs a big nono...I think if i translate this scene into normal vray mat which is plastic - 2 in my lib, then it will be a ton faster.

Hi Morbid, first of all: WOW, great renders... surely better than MW.

About that warm feeling, i bet it's the wooden parquet that do the trick moslty

Pls check your pm, i'm really interested in your "in depth" with Vlado

[dimo]

I'm still shocked with the rendertimes. If I would send out a frame this size that needed 100 computer hours to render someone here would probably slice me up and sell my meat in a plastic bag in canada...

well I can tell you that I only allow such render time for a study. In production this is unacceptable, but unlike maxwell vray can do other things to render it faster, one of which would be irmap, the other bake. So if I actually had to render this in animation I would do a different approach

[jacksc02]

go on morbid, do the tweaks and render it nice n fast!

Here is the image that maxwell has rendered after 40 hours.


as you can see, it needs another 40 to get there


And here is also a study that I did to compare maxwell and vray. I have taken a scene from treddi forum where noob users tried to compare vray to maxwell and misurably failed...It is possible to get similar results in vray and maxwell.

[jacksc02]

whats the setup like in the for the vray example?

[Morbid Angel]

well the scene was quite specific, no sun/sky approach, rather plane sky color and emitter for sun. So I just manually matched the emitter intensity and rgb value for sky, used gamma 2.2 and ppt...thats all.

here is a peak on maxwell vray shader conversion hack.

Dmitry.....Swish!!!!

Very interesting.

I had a play with that scene awhile ago.. never got around to doing anything serious with it.

Im glad someone did
