Wow, thats looks quite awesome!

Is there any ETA for Maya or is it already in Maya?

Also do u think in order to render that in 25s we need better hardware or better code?

Vlado-

Fantastic! and its looking clean for 3 hours. Cant wait to see some of the other setups. Should BDPT now be working with dispersion, viable self illuminated surfaces and lights and wait for it... SSS? What all else are you planning on doing with it feature wise?

Thanks!

Hi Vlado,

thanks for the scene.
I'm getting quite a lot of fireflies on a 3hr 50 render (i7 2600K):
I've got 2.45.01.
Is there any settings I should be tweaking?

cheers,

Steve

Did that have the lenses in the fixtures included? if so it its nice to see the reflector lit up.

Some nice results, Are you looking to his work to influence how VRay will be handling the vertex merging?

We actually took a step further and simply got Iliyan over here for a couple of weeks to help us with the implementation

How do I go around getting Nightlies Vray Maya 3.0? Do I buy it/ask for it/etc etc?

More eyecandy.

Here is a scene ive appropriated from the WinOsi test suite. Big thanks to my friend Rhys for cooking up a script on a moments notice to read in the .vmd file format.

Dispersion is currently borked with BDPT so we just have mono caustics.



Kevin Beason had a really nice version of the scene from his renderer that I used as visual reference.



Here is a 2012 scene file if anyone wants to play... Vlado Id love to see what 3.0 can do with this baby.

One more, but more on this later.



And the PPT version with dispersion for the glass. Hard to see it which is too bad.



And the indigo version I appropriated the idea from
