Hej
what to say, I?m not glad with it. Noise is not the problem

@micha: I`m trying to dublicate your enviroment settings as shown in tutorial E, but using your enviroment map with a multiplier 14 does not produce the same result. It becomes fare to light.
I use GI multiplier 0.7 light blue
1 light source about 20 meters away for the sun (yellow)
rest is same as in the tutorial.
C&C Thanks

what is the intensity of the sun and what kind of light is your sun ?
Jp

[abhikaam]

WIP enviroment

It?s a rectangular light, intensity 1

[Jean-Paul Paloux_cg]

WIP enviroment

you uncheked "decay" ?

[abhikaam]

WIP enviroment

no, I didn,t. Should I ?

[Jean-Paul Paloux_cg]

WIP enviroment

try,
I found that decay option put too much light and the intensity don't affect something after.
remove it. and you'll see difference between intensity 1 and 20 and 200
also, I don't know why in my big scene the light was changing from decay to no decay etc etc sometimes even if I didn't touch the settings. weird... but try ! you'll see how it rocks after I think that the only one that stays on is ignore light normal and of course, check ON Intensity

I use allways the decay, because it is important for physical correct looking images. But for you sun I don't recomment a rectangular light - use the directional light and if you like to get a light soft shadow, than set radius 0.01 or like you like. test it.
The directional light is the only light without decay. I use sun values between 0.7 ... 4 most.

update with direktional light and little adjustments

can you show us a printscreen of how you implemented your Gi Map ?
I think that we don't feel it too much now.

Latest version.




Enviroment GI mapping:

[Jean-Paul Paloux_cg]

WIP enviroment

don't you want to reduce the intensity of the directional light and increase the GI multiplier ? your shadows are pretty strong....don't you want to rotate or modify your map to get a more saturated part in the background ?

what kind of reflection has your windows ?

[abhikaam]

WIP enviroment

I did that. Then changed I the hdi enviroment and background.
The windows are only a reflektiv layer with fresnel on and a refraktion layer
with light blue refraktion.
I think it?s getting better. Still dont like the grass and the water. I?ll have to work on that.

here what our friend micha does on Rhino forum:

Hallo David,

thank you. I have manual placed the planes. First I have create a "random"
group and than copy it several times. I have a billboard script, it was posted
here some weeks befor, but I have not used it for the test.

I can't not imagine how it would look, if the trees, peoples or grass would
be aligned to the camera. Could be it looks a little bit strange. )

The Flamingo grass was the inspiration for my test here. I hope, once a day
McNeel can open the Flamingo plants for all renderer.

Do you know a low poly plant system that could be used for Rhino? Vue could
be used, but I have not test it.

what is the RGB of your white brick ? too white I think.
or did you set a bright multiplier ?

Indeed, the bitmap I used was posted around a year ago in the newsgroup.
What I did was create a heightfield from it and created a solid using
offset. When using the dielelectric material, it appears necessary to
need some thickness otherwise the colour looks wrong. I chose to have a
block with sufficient depth to contain the submerged part of the hull.
The scene setup is shown in the attachment.

I read on the Maxwell Forum that there is a application of noise to
materials, which makes simulating the sea surface much easier, alike the
ground plane of Flamingo. This feature appears to not be implemented in
the Rhino Plugin, if I'm not mistaken. Still, it's only an Alpha
release, so I assume such features will find their way into Rhino.
