Glad you guys like it. These new features were very high on my wish list, and I think you can see why.

@Tyger_purr:

There are two new render settings (click, pulldown, click, done) and a new light setting (pull down, click, done). There are a couple quality settings, which by default produce a quick, low grade test render. I increased them to the maximum, 100.

The bag, bowl, and can are new props that come with P8. I did not touch them at all - just loaded and posed them.

The lamp also comes with P8. I changed the shaders, but you'll probably not believe what I'm going to tell you. The lamp had some fancy shaders that just aren't needed anymore. I ripped them out, and put a single Reflect node on the lamp. The bulb was trying very hard to look like a bulb, self lit and all with some Edge_Blends and other tricky stuff. I deleted all that, and just left an ordinary blank material there. The bulb area looks real because of the new light feature, and the fact that I put the point light inside the hood of the lamp.

The table is just a one-sided square with a wood image I downloaded from some free texture site - can't remember where.

So - totally unlike my usual work, there are no fancy materials, no light shader, nothing you usually see from me. Anybody could make this render.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
