hee all
thought I’d show my latest render
My future wedding rings
Any comment is welcome
very cool - you might wanna increase the image quality though /not from VRay/ and lower those highlights a bit in Photoshop if not in VRay
Very great image!!!
When is your wedding?
Mine will be in 5 weeks and 2 days!!! 
We bought our rings last weekend. Maybe I should also try to model them.
Best wishes,
Mirko
rings date
The date is on the back of the ring, written in full
it’s 24 june. 
And, what do you mean with tune up the quality, but not with vray ?
I think he means your bad Jpeg compression ..
quality
Yes, I thought so
but that seems not to be the only problem
the spotlike apearance also comes from the vray output.
I must say I used the setting shown in “very fast render times” in the render theory group.
I realise the quality would suffer, but otherwise this image (1000x1000pix) would take about 2 days rendertime, in stead of 2,5 hours
2.5 hours … what machine have you got .. zx spectrum ? .. :lol:
comp
1 G ram
2,8 ghz
indeed comes close to a commodore 64
(the scene is my livingroom, with a small cloth with rings on it,
the scene I used to create a lifelike reflection)
Perhaps you should have used an Hdri for the reflections ? ..
Nice render by the way.
yes thought of that
just couldnt find one in time
I was just a little to driven to pull this one off
Your gold doesn’t look quite right. Do you have it set to Monochrome Energy preservation mode?
--Jon
nope the preservation mode is still RGB
the material is very reflective, a 0,7 glossiness
but the reflective color is yellowish
same rings, better composition
Hi vizuals!
Your quality is still bad - how do you save your image and in what format? Try .png with decent quality. And rendertime is way too much for this … maybe if you post vray settings we can reduce it … 
damn TishoChaos that would be great
the image “bad” quality is due to the host I guess, I search for a better one
maybe one obvious sign would be the moddeling part in AutoCad
(read all about the stupidity of that, but I havent been doing otherwise)
by the way this one … 1500x1000pix high quality irr map
took “only” 11 hours
hm…
try adaptive subdivion aa -1/2 (default)
lower reflection/refraction max depth in global switches from 5 to 3
change irr preset from “very low” to “low”
you can leave the sample lookup to “overlapping” or change it to the default “density-based”
change the subdivs in the qmc gi from 8 to 16
change the adaptive amount and noise thresh in the qmc sample from 1 to 0.75 and 0.02 respectively. Min samples should be 16 let’s say. Also if you want to test quickly how does the image look - change global subdivs mult from 1 to 0.
your material is good imo - you can try to render it with reflection interpolation, change the subdivs from 24 to 60 let’s say. And in the reflect interpolation rollout change interp. samples from 20 to 80. This step with the material is not necessary though - you can just test. You can also leave the material as it is only change the brdf type from blinn to ward.
See how fast does it render with these settings and tell me - if you have problems and you are willing to share the scene - send it to my email.
btw what is your studio setup?
lol. im getting married in sept! argggggg!
funny thing is we are going to look at wedding bands today during my lunch.
