Funky stuff!

I was just worried that maybe Grzegorz got abducted by an alien or something.

Keep us posted, we can't wait to see 1.7!!!

I'm slightly worried, since the Kray forum has all of a sudden appearing to have become very quiet. Will it be okay for the moderators to let us know what is happening, a short online newsletter perhaps?

Thanks for the Blurring Accuracy tip Silver!!! Here's an update. Something went wrong with the reflections on the cabinets, but I think it is because of the bright HDRI image. I've now dropped diffuse and reflection map amount for the next render. Also switched Blurring Accuracy Limit to 0%. Can't w...

Whenever I load 24bpp PNG textures into my scenes, or sometimes, I get the "Unexpected Exception" error showing up in the Kray 1.6.12 render display. Is there another file format that I can use that supports transparency with Kray, or is there maybe just something small I'm doing wrong? So...

Sorry guys, no furniture render yet. It's busy rendering now. I have a few reflective objects, and I also added a small amount of reflection to the wood etc. Though its just about 2% on some items, the reflection blurring appears to greatly lengthen the render time. I'll leave this one rendering ton...

I've ripped out the furniture, and decided to start texturing properly. I'll be adding some more props to this scene and hopefully by tomorrow night, have some final renders. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/962/kitchen00200000mc3.jpg Settings in a nutshell: Using Photon Mapping; Lightmap; Receive...

Hi Silver.

I exported the scene from Modo 201, but as I mentioned, I cut away the rest of the house, as the kitchen is part of an entire house model I built.

I've managed to find the problem. I re-exported my kitchen scene at some stage, isolating it from the rest of the house, coz I feel, why have so much geometry in the scene if I don't see it in the camera. The mistake I made was that I had some points lying across the model that were not attached to ...

Your renders look awesome! You make me jealous.

Do you mind sharing your settings with us a bit? I think me and others here can learn a lot from you!

Is it at all possible that I can email my kitchen scene to some of you guys, and maybe you can take a look at my setup. I can't get this thing to render neatly in under 5 hours, and I've seen other renders running at under 60 minutes and looking real good. Just PM me with you email address and I'll ...

Silver to the rescue!!!

So, larger undersample, faster render. Lower undersample, slower but better looking render?!

And how does the value I pick affect my render outcomes in terms of render time and quality?

Just another quick update. I dunno what went wrong here, but I would love to know what is generally the problem with the splotchiness in the wall and other corners. I'm fairly happy with the lighting in a sense. I manipulated the gamma and exposure slightly to try and get better tonal mapping. http:...

Thanks for the help jure, and also everyone else here!!!! I'll keep the translucency bug in mind. And thanks also for the curtain material tip. I'll post a rerender shortly.

I also want to experiment with baking the GI with my scene.

Thanks jure. Got it fixed. I think I misspelled the command somehow, or I might have uppercased something I shouldn't have.

It works without problems now.
