Interesting.

Hello.

PS: IBL= No shadow support.

Quote - Hahah - HDRSHOP is not free anymore. It is $199. Just get Poser Pro 2012.

Arg!

it was still free in 2011(sic)!

Humm, Picturenaut, http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/index.html

"Picturenaut's ability to run HDR Shop Plugins natively extends it's capabilities tremendously, because Francesco Banterle has already created complete set of high dynamic range filters and tools, that plug right in."

Quote - You can get Poser 8 for $30 when it's on sale, which is pretty often. Avoid buying a miniskirt and a hair, and you've got the $30.

Even everyday pricing, it is $60.

Another way: HDRSHOP and this: http://www.keindesign.de/stefan/poser/

Quote - I followed your advice, no difference in the result.

any other ideas?

Aww, no sorry.

1

Irradiance catching 39?

Try 64, 70, 80 or 90 - 97

2

For wall, in materials, check "normals forward".

3

Instal SR3.1, uncheck irradiace catching, set sample to 256

Quote - In the parameter dial panel, unchek this for all your props and figures

 

Light emitter = VisibleInIDL

Quote - Wow - it is even more incomprehensible than it was.

The MaxDist parameter no longer changes the occlusion distance, but rather increases or decreases artifacts. That's the only variation I can find. Setting it really high (above 400) eliminates artifacts. I have no idea what this means.

I wish SM would just reveal the math on these things.

Wow O_o

Quote - Paul Debevec is the Godfather of environment mapping techniques, such as IBL.

He wrote:

Quote - It may be good to downsample the environment image first since the convolution calculations can take quite a long time.

The purpose of that parameter is for you to DOWNsample your image, not keep it high res or, shudder, to up sample it.

http://ict.debevec.org/~debevec/HDRShop/tutorial/tutorial6.html

Quote - Resize the image. Click on Image in the menu bar, then Size from the Image menu then Half Size from the Size menu. Repeat this several times until the image has been resized to a point where HDRshop can calculate the convolution in a reasonable amount if time. In this example the image has been resized to 128x64 and the convolution calculation takes about 96 seconds.

Things are faster now, but he was dealing with 96 seconds!!!!

Most of the pros use 128 or 256 pixel IBL.

"

Diffuse SH
It's a plug-in which calculates diffuse convolution of an HDRI (panoramic format). It speeds-up complexity to O(n) against O(n^2) of the naive algorithm implemented in HDR Shop 1.0.3. The algorithm is based on the paper "An Efficient Representation for Irradiance Environment Maps" by Ravi Ramamoorthi and Pat Hanrahan of Siggraph 2001. In the example the computational time is less than a second with an 512x256 HDRI, against the six hours expected using the naive algorithm. This plugin creates a ASCII file with the coefficients of Spherical Harmonics calculated"

Okay

Quote - lol what he said, the average game figure aims for 10 to 15 thou polys and dont forget there usualy tris NOT quads and that includes the figure clothes and hair. But for the "cut" scenes they do use high polys models much as we do

Alice'game hair = NURB

Two outfit

First:http://www.daz3d.com/shop/queengown

Second:?

Your setting

My draft: 5 bounces

My HQ: 7bounces

HumHum

IC 2  and IDL 10, 2 raytrace bounce?

Too low!

Script---> partner---->Dimension 3d---> render firefly

Enable indirect light

Intensity: 1

Bounces: 5-7 (draft-HQ)

Samples 1024-4096 (draft-hq)

Irradiance catch 32-64 (Draft-HQ)

Sky light ?

PS: pixels samples 14 and no depht of fiels or 3d motion blur!?

Useless: set ixels samples to 8.

PS

Quote - No, just a tool's limitation.

 

Exactly. Glad you came back. If we had everything, we wouldn't  find anything.

Ho, It's my fault, I'm bad in English, sorry.
