Hi, ... For me the biggest drawback of Kray-instancing is the Placement method that is used. In all this examples "big" chunks of gras-patches were used and this makes it hard in placing complex shapes of lawn, mostly the borderlines. Futhermore the Point-placement method works only with ...

hey florian, nice animation, short, pregnant and up to the point!!!
btw. this tower will be a safe place in case of bigger earthquakes

where do i put the shared GI file exactly if rendering with BNR?

cheers

great work jure!! it's just a pity that the postproduction isn't at the level of your images. i'm especially shaked by the 'interior' sound of the presentation guy

i like the grass as well, but also johny's is great! johny, remember: the neighbors grass is always greener!

this is a very good rendering! i really love it as it is, apart the chromatic aberration effect (this is starting to become something like the lens flare effect in the 90s...) - any professional photographer would look to reduce this effect to a minimum or to use it in a purely creative way. cheers ...

expect the unexpected )

looking great!

if you read a bit inside their forums you will find many limitations of this new technique. for example, more than one rendering is required to make this technique work... from the fry forum: "As explained in the manual, in this version (1.0) you can only swap -one- object simultaneously. We ha...

someone started already to do so:

btw. it's always the artist, not the engine

(for example, see this amazing rendering http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.ph ... tcount=148 made with c4d + vray)

btw, here some rendering tests which i did some year ago in maxwell beta... i rebuilt the complete model in formz using the reconstructed mies plans by solà morales, cirici and ramos... i'm testing this with kray for some time already, when i have some more time i will render final versions and post...

nice plants, everm... ?

Yes :D But this is only test of Power Shader on Sun light. This shader decrese stronge light from objects, but still make good bounce light with colour information. Water is flat - just bump map texture used. Ofcoarse this is next test version of my grass (grass have only one texture, basic setup s...

mies van der rohe would not like it, hehe... funny idea to make the barcelona pavillon a sort of garden furniture market exhibition, nevertheless!! yes ok, it's just a test, but johny, you can do better texturing than this! especially, have a look at the veins in the travertine stones on pavement an...

Something else which I believe should be considered when pricing, but I don't think has been mentioned in this thread, is, prices will vary, not just because of your location/ economy but because of the standard of work which you produce. The more experienced/ talented you are the more you can expe...

Well, if you're calculating your prices like I am, with 65 euros / hour rate and work fast, you can get pretty decent money without charging "per image high price". We are said to be doing work quite cheap, but it's reality that we can create it fast and without losing our own time for do...

almost perfect... ;) the only thing, but probably this is dictated by the client... personally, i do not like the image format and orientation. the stair theme would rather suggest a 'portrait' or vertical oriented format to give the image a bit more depth. the ceiling is cut off too soon, in genera...
