Cityscapes tests // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by RAYMAN // Jun 8, 2008, 8:42am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Been working on some shaders for Kerkythea actually a material pack for everyone to download ! http://www.kerkythea.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=50940#50940 So I ended up at making a small city...well 1 house duplicated to test those materials and they work out quite nicely ! If this doesnt convince some of you to try out the free standalone Kerkythea.... nothing will ! The polygon count is pretty high and those glass planes are all modeled and all textured with the mirrorglas material <(1 glass each pane..so there are a few - more the 100 but didnt count them )! Render method is MLT bpt same as Maxwell and the others (unbiased).... Given the fact that Kerky is free !!!! I´m working modelling on whole cities as backdrops for my futuristic photography (withz realy cute girls) so stay tuned ! Going to post this to the roundtable section too so that you can see the thread about Kerythea again !;) Peter Post by theuns // Jul 3, 2008, 8:18pm theuns Total Posts: 519 Very nice mirror effect on those building windows rayman, will check out the shaders :) Post by RAYMAN // Jul 5, 2008, 8:40am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Thank you theuns !:) Peter Post by Burnart // Jul 5, 2008, 9:50pm Burnart Total Posts: 839 Nice one! - is the shader comprised of replicating images or is it some kind of procedural? Post by RAYMAN // Jul 5, 2008, 10:40pm RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Those are physically accurate multi layered procedurals ..... ! Bottom layer glass and top layer reflective properties ! Its something I would love to get for Vray !;) Peter Post by RAYMAN // Aug 3, 2008, 12:27pm RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Am modeling whole cities at the moment with lots of skyscrapers and houses and am into lighttesting .... thats one of the last tests I made rendered in Vue with the ecosystem. The houses are mostly low poly only under 100 poly each. The maps come from high poly houses and the fronts were rendered (baked) to textures. Just a first test to see if its going into the right directionand see what detail would be seen:) Post by RAYMAN // Aug 3, 2008, 3:20pm RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 This is one of the high res meshes that was converted (baked) to a texture.. http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showpost.php?p=74600&postcount=8 Peter Post by RichLevy // Aug 3, 2008, 3:43pm RichLevy Total Posts: 1140 It's really nice work Rayman! Very impressive what you have going on in this thread... I got my eye on you :D Rich Post by Jack Edwards // Aug 3, 2008, 4:02pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Peter, one of the things I'm noticing is that with the higher res models, you are getting a lot of moire artifacting. :( Post by RAYMAN // Aug 3, 2008, 10:02pm RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Thank you Rich ! Jack you are right but I think that goes away as soon as I use a higher aa setting which lets my render times grow ! But yes for the final shots I will be going into higher settings ! Peter
