Description
This is my very first image using volumetric lights. I had a large problem with those volumetric lightbeams because they were extremely grainy and looked awfull. I tried many things to make them better but nothing helped. Finally I set the quality-boost to maximum, rendered the image at 1600x1200 and shrinked it. It helped a lot but I'm not yet satisfied.
Please help me! There must be a better way...
I've experimentet with some new colours in the atmosphere and I think it looks quite good.
Comments appreciated :)
Thank you very much for viewing :)

I know what you mean...my scene "October" took 154 hours to complete with the highest quality boost and having trees in the lights path like you. I have no good suggestions for you on how to get better quality except for just letting the render take it's time at a very high render quality setting. I think your results look great!

Great Job! Love the mood set :)

Beautiful image!! And i understand completely what you mean. I am a big fan of volumetric lights, at the moment i'm rendering one where the light looks absolutely smooth. My feeling is (without having tested it out in detail) that grainy looking volumetric lights does have to do with the atmosphere you are using in that image. Maybe you try that out as well! Or you define graininess as an element of style. :-))

Great work Thomas! Try scaling the light materials and filters down? Just a thought. Keep them coming I really enjoy your efforts.

Great work dude. I know what you mean about volumetric lights . . . in order to get any decent quality out of them, it takes forever and a day to render.

yer the first one i see that makes realistic vue...
thomaskrahn
Well, actually it isn't realistic... some very strong lightbeams in the middel of the night?) And if you wan't to see some more realistic scenery, take a look in the Vue, gallery. There's lots of people doing fantastic, realistic stuff... Thanks for the help everyone :)

I hear ya. What you've done is darned good, though! As to your remark above, hey, it could be a spaceship with a light on it or another planet with a nice big moon.
