Stix & Stones

Still looks way too sharp for my liking.

Here is the first go-around. I haven't had any feedback from the client yet. The problem I had was the tiny web graphics they sent as textures and materials. But, other than that, I worked my butt off and I hope they like it.

My wood grain, on the tables fell apart, so I'll have to fix that.

[Macker]

Looks great now. My only comments (aside from the wood grain that you pointed out) would be:

- The tables look too shiny, given that the bitmap used looks like a fairly old/weathered style timber. I would expect a more "waxy" looking finish to them.
- The GI/Irradiance map blotches in the second image.
- No smoothing on metal bars over counter.

Looks great though, especially those big pendants in the middle.

This is what I meant about the tables...

The mapping coordinates on the tables, doors and frames are the same... I would randomize them

I can fix that up in post. I had long render times, so I spent a lot of time trying to work through that. All the wood looks a little fuzzy and if you zoom it you'll see weak sampling. I could probably spend a few more days, which I don't have, trying to get better render times. Currently, what you see, was 2 1/2 hours (3840 x 2040).

Use .01 for the antialiasing filter
Beside that there is a script to randomize the offset mapping coordinate

[flino2004]

You could pre-calculate the GI using an override material and change materials... It should be very fast.., sometimes I do that for interiors

Area filter?

pre-cal the IRR?

That's actually pretty quick for that size. What times were you hoping for?

Also, the wood on the chairs look a little matte/flat. Maybe increase reflection a bit of those or instead fresnel ticked, use a falloff with fresnel mode and make the black a little lighter
Glossy of 0.75 - 0.8 maybe?
Or increase IOR?

[glorybound]

I am okay with the time. However, faster would be better

[flino2004]

I don't remembre if it's named area filter....inside the material, where you load the textures... Blur filter or something like that..... I always move it down to 0.
Irmap &lc ....I don't use lc for glossies when i pre-calculate GI.
