How to wait forever, or . . .

Journal Entry: Thu Sep 14, 2006, 12:24 PM
. . . Ten ways to make a 5 minute render take forever . . .

1) Add another light to the basic set

2) Use refraction, like on everthing

3) Turn on shadows, on all lights

4) Use reflection, again make everything shiney and new!

5) Add another light, help viewers see all your wonderful 3D art.

6) Use transparency, especially with refraction on 3D objects with high displacement map settings

7) Use lots of realy large textures, nothing wrong with 4Kx4K

8) Include multiple hi-ploy characters and models, like maybe every 3D babe you have,
and for a change, dress them all with lots of clothes.

9) Remove background image and replace with full trextured 3D background model,
after all, this is a render, not 2D art!

10) You guessed it, add more lights, maybe one more for every color of the rainbow!

Now you can start your render on your dual chip - quad core per CPU super system,
( err, like I have one of those - Not!) and come back in 24 hours to see it 30% done!

Just for laughs,

Mcv

~ExtremeJordan:iconExtremeJordan: Apr 22, 2006, 12:04:51 PM
Also, just a suggestion, but you should try out some mainstream 3d software such as Lightwave, Maya, 3ds Max, or Cinema 4D.

Thanks for the welcome.

Wow so much to see here! Think anyone has seen all 16 million plus deviations?
No way!

It is great to be able to post really hi-rez stuff here, must other sites keep images pretty darn small.

Have a good one . . .

I have learned you can use a "locked in" tool Like PovRay in three ways to still integrate with other 3D programs with which it is not, strictly speaking, compatable. I suspect this is true with the Renderman program Pixie too.

3D In: Do as much as possible with the other program, export, convert, import (PoseRay to Povray) (? to Pixie)
Then do the PovRay or Pixie special stuff and render.

Image IN: Make scene and render in other program, save image, map to background in say PovRay, add the PovRay stuff, re-render . . . and there you have it.

Image OUT: Do the PovRay/Pixie things you need, render, import the image into, say Daz Studio, as a background
or object image map, do the Daz Studio scene additions, texturings, and lighting, render, and once
again that it is.
