Good luck to all competitors !

Nice work, i love the tones

Very nice work mike. I think you should remove the two tires we can see through the car glass, if it is possible, i think it's too distracting.
They doesn't help to read the shape of the glass IMO.

Nice work, HDRI version is much better !

Ok, the image was rendered at 4096px initially, and downsized to 1024px (i removed fireflies with photoshop too).
Even in this big size, 30 minutes is enough to remove grainy stuffs ?
Have to try for the next image.

13 h, really?

yes really. I could have stopped the render at 3000 samples (1 hour) but i prefered to let my computer rendering during the whole night to have a ton of samples on my spigots.

Hi everyone, my name is Nicolas Richelet, a fresh licensed happy octane user!.

I tried to reproduce some forest spigots i found a week ago near my little village. Those are very rare and can be found only on forest hills.
You can notice the little water seed that will fall soon and make some more ...
