is it me or is the chao's reflection in the wrong place? [shouldnt happen with a raytracer, right??]

That's looking good. Now to purge the plastic-like curtains of their specular shading?

That's what I thought while it was rendering. I checked, it is in the right place. It's just the wonky angle I put the camera at which makes the distance between the chao and the floor deceiving.

I know, I stupidly moved two lights really close to the chao for this render and forgot to compensate on the curtains texturing. I'm a little reticent about perfecting this scene because I have no idea how to import the new Kallisti embossed apple. I want to recreate the curtains with a higher resolution cloth sim so I may as well start from scratch.

thankyou, and nope.

Would you be interested in making anything for an Intermittens issue?

I could do, it seems that I'm having a creative outburst right now which is unusual. I'm happy to create something random, or anything you guys request (within reasonable limits).

Here's my first test render with a totally new environment. The cloth isn't as ruffled up as I'd like it to be, but I got fed up of rerunning the cloth simulation after the tenth time. I forgot to rotate the floor 45 degrees and I finally sorted the specular on the curtains XooXe. Shame I forgot to texture it.



Finally, I can see what the embossed writing looks like reflecting the floor:



You can't see it in this render, but the apple leaf has rudimentary veins.  :D

how about applying a vertically ridged bumpmap to the cloth? to make it sort of corduroy-looking?

awesome! Can I get one in widescreen size for wallpaperish purposes?
Or will that take eleventybillion years to render?  :wink:

I like this one a lot.

Triple Zero

yeah great job on the bumpmap!

I can leave it running for as long as it needs. What resolution do you want it in?

my monitor runs in glorious 1680 x 1050

Uhm, can i put in a request for a 1024x768? Please?

And it looks really good, btw :)

Here's two wallpapers: Cramulus Res - 1680x1050 & BDSimp Res - 1024x768.

It took 5 hours 35 minutes to draw, so not long then.   :)
