Fixed, thank you!!

Hi, how can I stop the camera from clipping away my model? Objects that are close to the camera get cut. It seems like a useful tool but I didn't even know that was possible. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0m26rx6vapturb/AACAmjJox62htRSo31QNZtWXa Vic.

Wow, it works!!! :) Now I am scared to make minor adjustments, I don't want to mess with the settings. I put some renders un the dropbox. Thanks again.

Hi, thanks, no I didn't know they were there. I am looking at some models right now, it seems so simple. I'll just import the whole project into mine and see if it works. Thank you.

I messed with the photons an GI all day but I can't get it to look as god as the American Kitchen in the EIAS gallery. Any tips? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0m26rx6vapturb/AACAmjJox62htRSo31QNZtWXa

Hi Thomo, I followed all your advise and the tutorial. It did get a lot faster. Not sure if fixing the transparency settings for things that only had clipping helped, but I did it anyway. It helped a lot when I did it for the glass, it went from 15 min to 5 min. Amazing. But here is the whole project I can surely use any tip you can give me on how to make the lights faster, I still have to add some good looking grass for some of the shots so I am worried about that. Any ideas on how to make some good looking grass for when the camera is close to it? Thanks Vic. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0m26rx6vapturb/AABEMX-WiBZZhGx4glpstZnsa

Hi Thomo What is a validated FAC?

Wow Ok, no I did not do that, but I will. I'll post my results as soon as I do. Thanks.

Well you guys are really good at this, aren't you? :-) I followed your advice and I have finally rendered one frame in under 5min. It was something like 15min before. And I don't even need to do any extra shadow render or anything. I just need to improve my gardening and textures now. Thanks for the help. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0m26rx6vapturb/QMVkTSW9V3 All transparent objects are set to raytrace and GI-irradiance. Only one parallel light right now with GI-normal. GI settings in dropbox. All other lights I plan to use are small radials with no shadows inside the apartments, just to be able to see inside a little bit. That shouldn't increase render time to much I hope. Also not in all apartments only a few. Thanks. Vic.

Hi Thomo, thank you for all your help. I am finally able to get back to this project. Non of my people or trees have transparencies, they only have clipmaps and all the clipmaps are separate b/w jpgs. Only the glass is transparent (I made all the adjustments you described already). The trouth is that if I remove all the vegetation it all renders in under 2 min even with furniture inside the apartments. I'm just going to have to find a better way to add the trees. What I would like some help with is in getting to the perfect way to light this. I'll include in the dropbox a finished render I have to equal in quality, and some of my attempts. Again, thanks for everything. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0m26rx6vapturb/QMVkTSW9V3

Thank you Thomo.

Thank you rvlna, very nice projects.

Thanks for the colouring tip, it's important to remove imported lights and cameras.

I wish I could go to EI university right now.

Hi Thomo and Tomas, here is the whole project, please tell as soon as you have downloaded it, I don't want to have it accessible to the public for ever. All help is welcomed, I need this project to look really good and I don't have too much time to render it (as usual). As it is, I was rendering at aprox. 9min per frame. Not bad, but it is still missing details. Some better grass would be nice. Thanks in advance. Vic. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0m26rx6vapturb/QMVkTSW9V3
