Fstorm render

[^Lele^]

Render with settings, and obstacle image (yeah, really.).



My picture was taken, clearly, inside a Plane, hence i had a few layers of severely scratched Plexiglas over my lens.
You are not reproducing anywhere near the same conditions for your lens effect, it would be really odd if it matched.

Admittedly, it took my a while to get right, but that's actually because I've never used the filter generator tool before, but I got a result that is quite similar to your reference image.

Nice results! Mind sharing the presets for the filter generator tool or the generated HDR?

Sure. Here you go.

Yes, will see about that...

This would be great !

I just saw this thread. I must say I'm really impressed with this little renderer. I played a bit with it too and it is very fun to use. Even if not mature enough it is still producing some very nice images. I agree with some people here that Vray can benefit from some improvements in tone mapping and glare. The tone mapping in fstorm looks very natural, almost like a real-world camera and the glare is very fast for it's quality (it appears it's GPU accelerated?).

Here's my first try with it. It's a job I did with Vray a while ago. I haven't changed the materials/lights manually, I just used the converter fstorm ships with. It did a pretty good job. I let it render at 1024 x 684 on my GTX 980 for 1:30 min. and stopped it. No Photoshopping, just the raw render directly out of the frame buffer. There's something about that renderer that gives a very natural feel to the colors/lighting.



And here's compared to Vray that I let run for 1:30 min on my I7 4930k overclocked at 4.4 Ghz, raw render again. I just color corrected it in the VFB to match the tone mapping of fstorm. Render settings are: Progressive 1/100 subd, BF+LC (800 subd), Probabilistic lights OFF, Min. shading rate 6, Max ray int. 20, Refl/Refr depth 20, Subpix. mapping OFF, Clamp output OFF, Use Embree ON:

Alex_M it appears the sun is darker in vray render, otherwise they look very close. In fstorm the refraction is incorrect on the glass.

When converting with fstorm converter, the index of refraction may be changed, I think it just take the default one which is different form the vray default one. If you put the same ior it will look the same.

Attached is a .bcurve file for the V-Ray VFB curve control and .cube file for the LUT control (for the LUT, please turn off the "Convert to Log Space" option.

The curve is more accurate, although I'm still doing some adjustments there for the darker colors.

Best regards,

Could someone help me with using this .cube file in Fusion?
I get error: "FileLUT1 failed at time 0"
