the portal seems to help, quite clever the concept is.

need to find a few hours to let it completely render out and see if it clears up better. could also be my textures are overly ambitious for the simplicity of the scene.

i've been steadily increasing the complexity and number of objects and textures in my test room. i now seem to be getting a lot more noise.

any tips on the kernel settings to reduce this. this was done with PMC, the exact settings i can't remember, 64000 samples, 1.5x buffer. alternatively can ...

Hmmmm, strange.

Octane has picked out the fine detail on the plywood much better. The ...

ok its taking some effort to get my brain working in spider diagrams but i'm slowly getting there.

this software is actually incredibly impressive, in terms of speed and the quality of the render you can quite quickly start producing. takes a lot longer to create the item you wish to render, but i ...

i'm interested in this program as its incredibly fast, I however cannot figure out how to get a bump texture to work. the material nodes are a maze!

i have rendered the below design using sketchup + indigo render. indigo render is incredibly easy to use and assign materials but not past this level ...
