I love VRay... sometimes

[n6]

Thanks for all your advises but I have previously tested ALL the thinks you say and I had very bad results.

I dont know it yet but maybe I will release my scene for download for render test purpose.

The problem I think is comming from the self illumated meshes I use and also non-interpolated glossy reflection / 7 bounces and non-interplated glossy refraction.


Anyway this project was @###[@-# and the customer... too
but it is now finished :P


Guess what...just after finishing the whole work my main PC died (at least the motherboard)

Ill bet the customer was VERY happy It's only anal-retentive perfectionists artists like us that will be the last one to be happy and satisfied with our work

Are you using photon map with photometric lights?

Gonçalo

nope but it would have probably help.

As I have said, I previously used Lightscape and even if you dont use with it photometric lights, Lightscape allways gives excellent results for interiors lighted by the exterior and/or by luminaires.

Maybe VRay will have photometric light... one day

vray good!

20 hours seems WAY too excessive for such a scene. Unless you were rendering it at 4000X3000 pixels. our office finished a similar scene like that last year using the old 1.08.04 biuld. On a dual PIII 1 GHz it rendered at 800X600 in 1h45m~ . you can check it out at www.screampoint.com . the project is project 101 - Mandarin Oriental. dunno what you're doing that off, except that you're depth (bounces) is way too high, we usually go with 3-5.

I agree that my rendering times were a bit high.
But with lower seettings the result wasn't good enough (for me )

Also check out the original image files : it wasn't 800x600

n6's renderers may be a little long but look at those mats, all those glossy reflections! I'm afraid yours looks hard and cold JG compared to his.

[Nenad]

Cold?! Both have a warm atmosphere. Even too warm IMO. Maybe I'm saying this because we have a wet-hot-killing-wheather here in Paris right now.
