Render compare // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by Wigand // Jun 28, 2007, 9:01am Wigand Total Posts: 462 I tried some different render engines. (It's only a test object nothing serious) 1. A screencopy of the workspace 2. A LW HDRI render 3. A VRay HDRI render What do you think? It's the VRay material from the library, but it seems much better as a DX shader and a lightworks shader instead of VRay. Post by Emma // Jun 28, 2007, 9:53am Emma Total Posts: 344 I think the reason is that in your VRay picture you don't have the right "composition" You are rendering a reflective material here, so you need something to be reflected, but as it looks you just have an HDRI as a background. In Workspace true reality is simulated, but for the rendered image you have to create the true environment. Attached is a VRay rendering where I simply put some planes around to reflect the light. Your Workspace is darker, to get the same result rendered you would have to arrange same level of lights. Compare the two different lightnings to see the difference of appearance. Post by Wigand // Jun 28, 2007, 9:58am Wigand Total Posts: 462 It is a normal map shader with much reflectance, and I used HDRI to see many reflections. But the VRay picture is flat without mirroring the ambient. Because it was so dark, I boosted the light.
