Rendering a load of refractive materials.

[Ihno]

Thanks!

Its a MassFx rigid body simulation. That was the fun part of the project.

I used a simple collision shape for the bottles and build a simplified scene for the simulation.

Afterwards I replaced the bottles with vray proxy objects. And xRefed them in. I rendered the part above and below the rolls separately with different meshes for the proxy objects.
Then I just comped them together. It was pretty straight forward.

The client actually wanted them to get squashed by the press since the rolls are just perforating them. But he didn't wanted to pay the extra effort and decided to be fine with what I suggested.

Try multi-GPU system?

I have a project with heavy refraction, and render times are very manageable. This is with a rig with 7x 980 ti's, and a render farm with more 980 ti's though...not sure if that's much help, but maybe something to consider for the future.

Really good work Ihno !!
Well done !

I think the biggest problem was the geometry which was too much. I didn't know about the one voxel per mesh trick vlado mentioned here:https://forums.chaosgroup.com/showth...y-optimization
Which probably would have helped alot.
Deleting the backfaces of the bottles and turn the ior down to 1.05 also helped though.
