Test with replicators

[Soth3dlife]

One of the main reasons I jumped into MODO was the simplicity to get complex environment scenes with few clicks. I really like that you can fill a whole ground with objects with random scales. I've been testing different simple scenarios and this morning I came up with a five minute test that I'm very happy with. It's nothing special but I liked how easy was to set up and how short the render time took. Modo and Vray have become a very good combination for me and I can't wait to develop a more complex scene with it ( I gotta say I CAN'T WAIT for the Vray Dome Light that I work with constantly in production ).

Here you have the test in Full HD:



Adaptive DMC:

Min: 1
Max: 100
Threshold: 0.01

Vray GI:
Brute Force:
-Subd: 256
-Depth: 3
Light Cache:
-Subd:256
-Depth:3

Render Time: 7m,16.3s

I didn't spend long time trying to optimize or anything like that so I am pretty sure I could spend more time optimizing while getting a cleaner result.

Conclusion, I am very happy that we have Vray for Modo.

What are you missing about the V-Ray Dome light ?
You can just use MODO's Dome light. I need to make it work correctly with textures applied, but aside from that, we
are not planning on any other improvements there.

that's what I meant. I work everyday with Direct Light ( No GI ) from domes for VFX with HDRI. It's the only thing I am really missing in Vray for Modo, the rest is very good

The light textures for the Dome light are fixed for the 2015-03-29 nightly build, as well as for the 3.00.06 open beta build.
Also there is a new option called "Dome spherical" under "Light type specific parameters" in the "V-Ray Light" tab, when a Dome light is selected.
