Glass + LightPortal

[artzgodka]

Hi

below the test of the glass in Kray from LightPortal
I did not use Caustics only FG / transparency / refractions
I tried to use Caustics still but I could not take control over her

I greet

Cool! I like it... You've got a good feeling for light.

The glass highlights are too bright though... Those white spots... Did you try to use limitdr 1; command?

[artzgodka]

In this picture I used only Caustics without FG transparency/refraction

all made in LW + Kray also DOF

Jure - I want to get beautiful focus of caustics as to execute this?

Use high caustics preset for start. Then play with settings. Use alot of photons!

Hey much better! Nice colours
Time/cpu need....
maybe try FSAA G7 Mitchel, becouse Random AA have long time render.

[artzgodka]

the time is not amazing 1-1.5h
CPU Quad 2.4 after OC 3.2
I used random AA so but I will taste the different method

What Kray settings do u use?

[artzgodka]

In last pictures I used AreaLight, Skyportal only to lighting and the conferment of the depth in to the scene

it is my seting to this scene

Try FSAA G7 Mitchell,
Lightmap (without Skyportals)
min/max rays is too small I thing 400/800 is minimum for all renders,
Distance min is too big - 10% is good, Distance max is too - big 200% is good
Turn OFF B/D!
Blurr 2 or 4 but You must use in tailer cmds: irradianceblurgamma 0.3; or 0.1
PATH 20%/1
AREA Light quality 1/4 is good when You have high AA You can use 1/3
Recurse 15 ,
Multiplier max 0.5 in photon tab, 0.2 is good
octree 20 (this is ballanced)

[jure]

For causitcs try 5.000.000, low 10% high 90% steps 10....

This is good. But I see problem (many peoples make this): too thick glass.
Now looking ugly. In real world glass is very thin. I will send You another scene with better lights....

[artzgodka]

I make water in RealFlow
