Sunset Beach - Lens Glare Version

Sunset Beach - No Lens Glare Version(with extra corrected hdr file)

 

Sharkbytes...these HDR's, do I apply them to the Reality IBL sphere before launching Reality, or in the lighting section of Reality...? I usualy use the HDR.envr file of any IBL or HDR I download, and insert it to the IBL box in the lighting section of Reality before launching Lux.....

Put them in the lighting section of reality.  I included jpg's so you could set the scene up with the ibl sphere while you're still in studio.

hehe, the ex is right now but she knows what Doc is like so he may be on the hitlist, I've also heard Wendy likes to do a spot of Horse hunting too! ;)

Ran across this on DA; the site has some really, REALLY cool ideas to try with Lux:

That's what I figured, just wanted to check.....Thanks a lot for these!

They're not that spectacular Stevie..  I'm just starting out with Vue; so, the skill level is rather low.  If it's like other stuff I've done in the past, eventually I'll be able to produce a product that I feel is good enough to share with the world at large; not just a group of folks who's ridicule I can handle.  :-)

Quick question why cant metal items be batch converted? For example if I pick multiple surfaces to covert to metal only the 1st one selected will actually convert.

They'll all convert, but to change the metal type from the default to something else, you need to reselect the metal mats.

Great render!

I am pretty sure thuis happens when I also select to keep the original surface as well only the 1st surface will convert and all has to be done one by one

Horse hunting is much more rewarding than Doc hunting ;)

Doc...

I'm Watching You!

Well, since Brad has woken everybody up from the snooze...

Dying Rose

Enjoy,

Okay, I'll join in as well.  Here is one that I posted at Rendo and Deviant a few days ago titled, "Early".

Is that rose dying because she shot it, or is she planning to?

I think if she'd shot it then she'd just be holding a stem.

Nice to have you back AbiJ :)

it's nice to be back - hopefully my computers will behave long enough to be around for a while!

You're Still Beautiful to Me (Bryan Adams)

Turn out the lights and close the door
Put your head on the pillow let me keep ya warm
I want to run my hands across your face
Ya lyin' beside ya' still the perfect place
We're still goin' strong
So glad that you came along
Ya babe in every way
You're still beautiful to me

It has been a while since Charlie and Neve came to play in a render.

Since its gone quiet in here, here's another...

Solitude

Enjoy,

Abi

P.s.  Loving the 1.1 weekly build, the importance brush is fantastic - the picture glass wuld have taken ages to clear without it!

Aside for from some slight noise looks like your getting some decent times. Im at 30 renders meeself in 5 days...

Looks like she might have ground his picture under that big boot of hers.  Nice job.

Is that a friendly ant?  Hope so.  I like the use of the red tint.

The mesh is set to candle light in the pre sets which gave me this mixed with a sky of reality night light is there a good tutorial for the new brushes?

RUN DOC, RUN!!

Great image, very dynamic!

Quote - Okay, I'll join in as well.  Here is one that I posted at Rendo and Deviant a few days ago titled, "Early".

Great image, love the idea and the pose. I would ad some texture detail to the sheets, but otherwise, fantastic.

Quote - I am trying the refine pen. I have selected the noisy areas highlited them and applied importance pen. I dont see anything in my log that reflects this being done. What am I missing how does one know how much pen strength to add and why one would subtract the pen?

my method on my previous pic was...

select importance pen, cranked the sliders to half (cause I don't know any better), draw the areas to take importance (the picture frame), click apply.

The results did show fairly quickly, the original render I ran I stopped because the main image was nice and clean but the picture was so noisy you could hardly see the image, re-ran it using the method above and the picture cleared up much quicker than the rest of the image.

I'd guess the subtract pen is to lower the importance of parts, for example if you have part of an image that is not going to improve with further passes, you can tell lux to leave that part and concentrate on the rest of the scene.

Hth,

Abi.

Try changing the log level setting to get more information.

You could also use the "noise aware" functions but they need manual editing of the lxs file.

Log level?? Its does seem to be helping I am guessing this just gets Lux concentrating on those areas?

In the pic you posted, top left there is a button which says Log Level and is set to Info.

Set it to Debug and it will display a lot more info in the log.

Thanks now I see that it says GUI is updating framebuffer... Did as Abi suggested looks like its clearing up some nice feature 1st render using Reality water prop will post when done...

I am running Lux 1.1 but I don't seem to be able to access the "importance" brush...  any ideas?

What do you mean you cant access? I finished my renders apllied soe postwork pretty happy with the final result. 

There is no option on the View menu to turn on the extra tab.

When you select refine brush you dont see the options?

There is no "refine brush" anywhere

Then you dont have it I think its 1.2 go back some pages to get the link or perhaps one of these kind  folks can repost it or perhaps a recent build?

Quote - There is no "refine brush" anywhere

I'm not sure if it's in the 1.1 build or if its just part of the weekly test build...

(I think it's actually part of lux 1.2)

Abi.

You beat me to it Bob!

Oh, ok, but I thought 1.1 was the latest, I just DL'ed it this morning.

I think 1.1 is the latest stable build, 1.2 is a beta - I've not had any issues with it so far though.
