My first M~R Test Render

So presumably if you have tracing paper, it can also do path tracing? :)

 

An un-reported feature, but yes. It can do that. I've also done advanced noise patterns with my airbrush, done colormapping with a cat and permanent dyes and dynamics clamping with a few too many Bass Ales.

 

 

You know, that's why I frequent the Maxwell discussions--the beers. Why else would this farse interest professionals anymore?

okay i re did the render in C4D... and yes it was very fast, I even got the teapot material right ;) now i just need a 3dsmax version.

 

I sitll think that the M~R looks better. ( I have a rerender cooknig over night at the office haha)

Would you mind sharing the scene? I was doing some experiments in Cinema myself, but couldn't seem to get sky light bright enough.

Jack, I can not "save" in a demo version lol. which is a dissapointment. but if you e-mail me your scene I will more than happy to look at it.

_dd,

I like fR--very fast and nice looking GI. Unfortunately it's got a few bugs that detract from its usefullness (material selection tags & distributed rendering, physical sky parameters not functioning, etc.).

 

Cesar,

I'm on the Upper East Side, around 76th and Biscayne. Home office. :)

I used fR2 to do my thesis visuals, on a Macbook Pro 2.0GHz. It was so fast, even I couldn't believe it - I'd set up a high-res render with GI, lots of glass, some glossies, displacements, a ton of geometry... and it would render in 15 minutes.

 

I would normally post by doing a gamma correction and adding some grain, but I was printing on Designjets without the best paper so I just did very light exposure and a bit of gamma. It gets really fast results by subsampling the heck out of everything, so unless you change that setting (and lose your speed boost) you'll probably want to use post to change the "look" a bit. It does do a good job of deciding where to put the samples, so you don't get a lot of artifacts, but you lose some gradations.

 

That's all with the Adaptive QMC mode. There are other, more traditional ways of using it.
