Ridiculous! I guess it is all relative.

Proper lens effects are not around lights only; they affect the entire image... What you want is artistic lens effects

Not really, what I'd really love is having a set of lenses preset that will act as if it was shot from that lens, CC/bloom/glare/distortion etc.
Kind of the same as VrayScan but applied to lenses. If you don't like it, then you have to chose another one or live with it, the same as you would it real life.
Vray Scans showed how incredible and awesome mtl can be replicated, and I don't know anyone that can say that they can reproduce by hand a specific mtl better than what a scan does.

And it's even better that it actually works on the whole image in stead of just a glow applied around lights, it will only look better/more realistic.
As a artist, it's great to have control but at the same time, it also deserve us a lot as it give us the ability to also go on path that should not be used.
If we are looking for photorealist results, I would like to have some presets that says, "that's what it is" or that's "what's it should be". In stead, we often try and error and push and pull things around to try to eye ball things to match.

If that was possible to have those presents either build by someone who took care to try to mimic as close as possible a set of lenses or by CG to scan those lenses, I would be really over the moon.

If we want to push things even further, it would be great to be able to save that as a render element (or multiples with different lens applied to be able to choose or blend them in post if we'd like) and it's fine if it's the beauty+lens effect applied in the render element.

I know I'm completely dreaming, but it so good to dream before a WE

make sense?

Put some plane lights inside the doors that you can't see anything but the edge of. That will add a whole other dimension to the image. IE on the right and behind the fridge.

I did some work on this, for myself, and I'll post them later today.

I have never gotten anything good out of ArionFX, as far as glare/bloom goes.

For it to work properly you have to render full linear 32bit float. No reinhard or anything like that.

Yes, I do render that way. Here are some updates.

Darn!!!!! Bobby!! This is quite nice I must say!

Did you just catch some Pokemons on this? This stuff is really nice, I quite like it.

[glorybound]

Thank you! My kids have been doing the Pokemon thing, but I have to say, the excitement is wearing off for them

[joconnell]

Nice thing is your use of dof and glow are getting more subtle with time - great work

[glorybound]

I learned a lot from you guys. I graduated from Chaos Forum University.

[mitviz]

nice work! yeah Pokemon has crept into the renders

When you think about the cost of the license the feedback and support you get from chaos makes it worth many times more!

[glorybound]

Amen! Worth its weight in gold.

I see a lot that needs to be done; lacks detail in the kitchen cabinets. Also, my curtains were sending my render times through the roof, so I just deleted them. I need to get something on there that works. Each view, rendered at 4K, were a little under an hour.

When I say it doesn't work, I mean that it doesn't work like I think it should. The bloom/glare does affect the image, but not on the scene's hotspots; it affects the whole image equally. I would like for it to put nice big glare on things like can lights. The was a standalone software that did it, but it was clunky and I don't think that it is around anymore.
