And local rendering a sequence no issue's...

Hi Guys, I'm having a problem when rendering on the farm. Here are the specs: 1. Lightwave 11.6.1 2. Kray 2.5.9 3. LW Instances in scene 4. BNR (Paul from butterflynetrender is also checking this error) 5. Scene has a GI cache Error: 1. Slave renders a frame, no problem 2. Slave starts on second, is...

The compers use the direct and indirect to simulate the effect. I understand your concerns about LW. Thats a bit the downside of making an external renderengine. (I see it also with Arnold, Octane, Maya, etc) I checked with our compers and they like the idea of having it as a pass. Gives them some m...

So maybe next version then...? No big fan of specular stuff, but it's what the lighters use to fake extra light coming from the sides.

Thx for the answer,

Fabian

Hi, Our lighting artist ran into an issue with lights and kray. She want to add specular only to buildings - so "affect diffuse" in light properties OFF. (I know not to use specular, but we just use it on some shaders to give the last missing lighting on edges) affectdiffuse_off.jpg Gives ...

Hi Guys, Just finished testing and it seems that everything works in the free version. Except: _ all OFX plugins (for example neatvideo, rsmb, AE plugins, krokodove, etc) _ network render (but you can install the free version everywhere and do render per machine) _ scripts (still checking with some ...

Hi Guys,

I'm normally not fan of spam etc. But just to let you know that fusion 7 is free now. The full version is now 995$ and has unlimited rendernodes. We are now testing what works in the free version.

Here's the link:

Hey Janusz,

How do you solve the translucency of the leaves? Been working on it... without many success.

Simulating diffused reflection - in physics terms. A surface with lots of bump will blur the reflection - in physics terms. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_reflection But in 3D back in the old days that was to heavy to render (and too much bump setups) - so they made reflection blurr...

Hallo Djwaterman,

I will test. I think the way it was setup-ed that first part was to limit the value of the light emitting. So my guess is that your adjustment should render a bit faster. Maybe Janusz knows more. I will do some testing when I have a bit of time.

Thx and Grtz!

Here's an example with just a procedural shader plugged in on a black ball in a grey background. The nodes and shader are also attached.

Hi Guys, I found an fast easy way to add some realistic detail in the fresnel reflection of objects with reflection. You can also mix it with a reflection map going to the input amount fresnel or the input reflection blurring. The main reason is to simulate the texture of a varnish. Cause varnish is...

Sending to you.

Hi Guys, I'm rendering an animation on 1920 on 850 of a shop interior. I'm rendering now at all settings medium, but FG 200 to 2000 (2 pass for baking, 1 pass for rendering) with AA set to high settings FSAA (4) It renders great, no noise or AA issue's (except in the distand very fine detail, but we...

Hi Alek6 and the ohers, I just finished an animation project with lots of trees and we had lots of antialising issue's with the vegetation at distance. The only way we could fix it was by rendering plates of parts of the scene vegetation (limited region at 200%) and place those renders on image plan...
