[Baking photons]

Hi, Tom

Santa said that if i finish the animation that i´m doing right now, i will have a new octo Mac intel with a big graphic card and a big monitor (size matters) :D

Hi, Tomas

1.247.052 polys

1 area light with photons

1 spot light with photons

+ Gi

1 rama slave runing in a G5 1,6 Ghz ppc

Thats it...

Envy:P v.9 in an octo... tell me, i promise i will not tell anibody

Any ETA of v9?

FelixCat

[Baking photons]

Well

I think i´m doing all by the book, still is waaaay too slow (around 5 hours per frame) i think the Gi pass takes a great part of the time. Has many objects in the scene... but it is looking so great that i think i will do it the same.

Work hard and all the rest...:D

Hi Tomas

It´s the same "Sala Test" that i uploaded for you some time ago. My theory is if i can bake the lights (whatever time it takes) the animation after that will be faster (a pan in to 5 boys and girls chitchating near the blackboard during 8 seconds) if the Gi is calculated for every frame, (and i can´t exclude them) i think i will eliminate the Gi...

Can i bake the lights for the empty room and, then, ad the children iluminated separatedly (not baked)? i m not sure if i make me clear...:huh:

FelixCat

Sorry for taking your time, i think Ei 9 is taking all your time right now (and your real job too)

hi, Tomas

I have those videos and repeated step by step the process but no joy yet.

If i ad some object animated in the scene (a child moving) then camera will emit photons too? can i exclude the child? trying to make the render faster, by now it´s horrible long...

Thanks

I`m sure i´m missing something but i don´t get the baking to work. How are the setings for use the baked photons after fill the database? how i make EiAS use the baked photons. Every test i do seems to be baking the lights again and take the some amount of time (toooo long). BTW, the Gi is baked too if i choose the Gi & Secundary in the map mode?

Thanks for any help.

Very nice job, Jens. A bit hidden really.

Hi, Joseph

When you have some time, please show your findings. Everything helps...

FelixCat

[Question about Gi]

Thanks, Tomas. I will try it.

[TripleDTools]

That's very sad. I have some of this great shaders and it's not easy to let them go. If they will work in EiAS v9 for Mac Intel, i will upgrade them before the TripleDTools dies forever.

[Some tests for a human skin]

Steven, Tomas, Hi

Nothing fancy; raytraced shadows, as you can see. Not a real SSS, but works more or less.

FelixCat

[Some tests for a human skin]

...And a bit of luminance test.

[Some tests for a human skin]

Hi, Steven

New test... close, but no cigar!

I will try to upload it.

FelixCat

[Some tests for a human skin]

Thanks, S.

I will try your settings and post them (if the server allows me)

[Some tests for a human skin]

Hi,

I'm doing some tests for a human skin, i am useing a color, bump and specular map based in the skin shader of EiAs, but no joy yet. Any ideas for faking a SSS?

FelixCat

BTW

I intented to upload an image ilustrating my tests, but a 500 internal server error frustrated my intent. :(

[Another Alex Roman jewel]

Yeah, this man make beautifull renders but, also, complete the image cuality with a great knowledge of After Effects. Is always a pleasure to see his movies.

Nothing new of v.9?

Sorry for asking.

Good luck

FelixCat

[Another Alex Roman jewel]

Seriously, this man is giving me a deep inferiority complex:

Hi, Tomas

Sorry for wasting your time; where can i upload it, and what do you need from the project? (with all the models and maps it's a bit heavy).

Thanks

[Question about Gi]

Hi.

I'm doing this classroom background for an animation that i'm doing now. I like how is going so far, but i'm geting this dirty in the shadows on the walls and some zigzag in the shadows of the furniture... any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks a lot.
