Description

or, Rendering My Birthday Gifts, part I :) ___________ You know those long summer afternoons, when you come back home after a morning on the beach, and there's *that* almost silent light that seems to sing along with the ever-present surf... and the house is in shade, but you just can *feel* the hot waiting outside... ___________ This is my first try at a fake-HDRI render. The only illumination in the scene comes from the HDRI sphere surrounding it and from a single radial (white, value 1, no falloff) in the up right corner. I'd like to thank a lot Ornlu and Draculaz in the IRC channel where we meet and chat (go take a peek, if you want, here you can find the instructions on how to) for the help and the tips they gave me. ____________________________ And thanx a whole lot to Susan (eelie) that sent me her Shells as a bday gift a couple of days before they showed up in the freestuff section (nyah, nyah, nyah... LOL). They're beautiful, Susan... thanx again! ______________ Some info: rendered at 1100x880 with Premium FX DOF at 144 rpp. Rendertime 8 hours. I tried also True Ambience in some tests, but the estimate rendertime was 2 days at 64rpp and the difference was minimal, so at the end I decided to leave it out. _______ Thanx for stopping by. Any comments and/or criticism are more than welcome. Have a wonderful week! Stefano

LOL, my first impression, besides amazement, was "wow, looks like Stefano had a lot of escargot for lunch!" On second glance I realised these were marine gastropod shells(silly me) This is a wonderful use of DOF and HDRI.

Hello Stefano! One must look at your pictures sometimes also more often and longer on himself allow to work! In this one, i love the colours and textures of the table and the shells! A brilliant depth in this "Still Life"!!!

Really great work on this one DoubleC. Nice textures, models, and POV. I like the shells very much and the table texture is great! -SeaC-

If you had added grains of sand beside the shells I would have accused you of having taken a picture, this is wonderful!

You should be able to do fake HDRI with MojoWorld cubic environement maps (QTVRs rendered to any file format other than .mov). I'd like to see that! -Mo

Neat stuff! I really must shift myself to have a go at this fake-HDRI. I like the way the objects feel more hyper-real than the way we normally experience them. Lovely wet looking textures.Neat stuff! I really must shift myself to have a go at this fake-HDRI. I like the way the objects feel more hyper-real than the way we normally experience them.
