Hi, I’m currently struggling to achieve a certain look of a bubble bath. If you look at this reference image, I don’t really have a starting point on how to achieve that modeling and shading of the bubbles, or rather what features of VRay I can use here or what way I would go to get that result. D…

[image] On another topic i know we all want vray to do everything, but it would be good if vray had all of the shading/rendering techniques that phoenix uses. It already has some of those for the 3.20 service pack: [image] Chaos Docs Unfortunately the part…

If I get a freelancer to do the bubbles in PhoenxFD would there be any way to get them renderable without a PhoenixFD licence?

Okay, that may be an option then. Anyways - how does the foam in PhoenixFD get so nice white? It has to be SSS, doesn’t it? Otherwise the light would be totally absorbed and it would get darker.

For everyone interested: I am on the right track with a base geometry of the rough form of the bubble distribution which I assigned a VRayScatterVolumeMtl and tweaked the settings so the overall reaction to light mimics the foam. Then I distribute the bubbles over that surface with MultiScatter, the…

I’d be interested to see the result :slight_smile: Best regards, Vlado

I will post it when the render is done - still tweaking it

Well…this is the result of an 800px rendering after 12,5 hours on two machines with 3.4Ghz. I am severely disappointed in the rendertimes. I will now try to get the time down by limiting refraction depth even more with a ligh grey exit color. Anything else I might wanna do? EDIT: For comparison…
