So Natty, how many total GHZ are you running your renderings on? And please do show your final image cause I'm still working on mine!....3 hours my a**!

[natty]

well 6 x this .... = 36 gig.. in total ... .... a little over 6 gig per machine

[timmatron]

Geez man! I'm am right in the middle of putting together one of those systems! Thats awesome. Are you using the stock fans & heatsinks or something different? I decided to go with these silent coolers, thanks to a tip from somebody on cgarchitect. I heard the xeons make a LOT of noise when on full load.

Those particular ones fit the Asus PC-DL board, but I'm sure there are others similar.

Ok this was the update version Sent to the client ... @ 8.30 this morning ... so i had the weekend to render out @ highres...

Natty what is the wall behind the counter made of_? Looks cool but what is?
I dont like one think: outside image.
Or the problem is the other thinks are too perfect
yeah perfect!

[natty]

Hi Mark ..

The back wall is backed glass and the image outside was quickly thrown on this morning ...so not so hot ..i agree ..

[pengo]

as always good job

I like it very much especially the white walls with the correct bleeding apport and the shadow density

I would like to see the floor with more than 1 for the blur in bitmap parameters to get a kind of fillet on the bumped grid

could u explain the settings?

congratulations

bye

[natty]

yeah the floor could do with a little chamfer ... but in reality the edges of the stone tiles are pretty sharp...

here's some screen grabs of the setting's.

[timmatron]

Good job man. I'm still working on mine, which also uses a back painted glass wall.

Do you find that checking 'smooth surface shadows' makes a difference? I thought in the current manual they said that that option doesn't work so well yet.

[trick]

I really like the rendering, but the windows (trees and frosted glas part with too soft edge) and the painting (looks aquarel/waterpaint instead of canvas or oil paint with more bump since it is a canvas ) ruin the image a bit...

[natty]

Ive always ticked it and never had any problems with it

[gadzooks]

natty why did you store the irradiance map with the vray lights on the windows, but not the ones on the ceilings? Does this make a diffrence. Thanks Gadzooks.

BTW nice image.

[natty]

sorry i forgot to put the third vray light's setting's aswell.. the lights with the store with Irr map ticked is just to get light into the scene.. the other's are used to pick up detail.

[pengo]

thank u

NAtty

very interesting!


bye

Great render Natty.

The one thing that strikes me as odd, is that for a reception you would assume there would be some sort of door back there.....but there is a distinct lack of doors

i guess thats just the design right?
