^ Nice cool

I made a Debian swirl in POV-Ray:

^ That's only 1280x800 though (it takes too long on my X201), I'll do some high resolution versions later.

Great wall, not of China!

Rendered in Mitsuba.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2018-04-13 15:25:18

Another Mitsuba render, this one is based on a scene by Cline et al, original here:

https://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/scenes/torus.zip

EDIT: I've used the clear glass materials as a visual metaphor for an "open" box in which our flame is burning glasses

EDIT2: the Metropolis Light Transport rendering method was used so that image should be approaching photorealism (hopefully).

I have high dynamic range OpenEXR & PPM versions of the image if anybody wants them.

OK, sorry for spamming this thread with my cheesy renders, this will be the last one for a while:

^ That was done with Blender's Cycles rendering engine and it's just a preview (I couldn't upload the larger files), here are the final images and .blend:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1151Xa … 1JFnBR5hAR

The images with 8 in the name use 8 bits per colour (~16 million total), the others have 16 bits per colour (~281 trillion total) which is useful for image manipulation (apparently).

When loading the .blend be sure to uncheck the "load UI" tickbox because I've messed up the interface somehow and I can't figure out how to get it back ops

Well, you did woke me from lazy Sunday wink . Still find the side-view the most interesting shape (and render).

A bit blue-green

A lil bit green

Tech notes: Rendered with adaptive subdivison (dicing scale set to 0.5px), which I think improves shape a bit on tiny corners. Orographic cam.

Both have that pesky transparency going on, example as wall

^ cool

Rhetorical question: is it possible to learn such exquisite taste or is it just innate? smile

Also, is that the Cycles rendering engine?

Don't worry HoaS...you can spam away with those cool wallpapers :-)

^ devil

One more little one then (a bit noisy, I'll edit in a bigger better version on the morrow):

Not sure what my fascination with shiny balls is about, I suspect that it is not entirely healthy monkey

Yes, it is cycles and some cheese post node for fake glow https://cdn.scrot.moe/images/2018/04/15 … stNode.png
I always use hdri image for lightning, it's an instant reality improver. Example world node https://brontosaurusrex.github.io/2016/ … hdri-node/ (I never really bothered with full ibl setup, I just take the single image that usually ends with *Ref.hdr and drop it into environment texture node)

edit: Gleb has a pretty amazing tutorial on the subject
http://www.creativeshrimp.com/hdr-light … rt-02.html

And rhetorical answer, do it a lot https://brontosaurusrex.github.io/2016/ … bcon-2016/ wink

Some hdri maps for download

Ah yes, those mysterious nodes, I will have to learn about those next glasses

Superb tip, thanks for the links!

For basic hdri setup one can get away without staring into nodes directly

A try at some sort of procedural 'city'

tech notes: particles, single weight map for height/density.
Moar.
