Would you mind sharing your MB file. When I import the OBJ into Maya and then add other mesh objects to test and re-export out the shading naming gets a little messed up and so the OCS file does not load your setting automatically if i call the exported mesh the same name etc. I am not sure if my scale is messing things up also. I checked your size in the preview image you attached and mine seems to be similar but I just get totally black when i reimport my obj even though I have not changed anything except adding two mesh objects with new shaders.

Thanks

thanks for sharing this!
i meanwhile googled for "frustrum box" and already got it (pat myself on the back) :D

btw, seems to be the first time, that fireflys did add a little realism :)

Stupid question:
Where is release 2.55 or 2.56 ?
I only have 2.52 and cannot find any newer version here .

Ok, got it. There' a new subforum for them.

I think i'm stupid, but i can't find transmission texture for diffuse material anywhere :) Where is it?

It is not enabled by default. You need to have the diffuse material node as a separate node in the node graph editor, and then you can connect a texture node to its transmission input.

Here is a test I did with the volumn fog download provided by MattRM. It will take some time to get it right. Put this together in a few minutes with a model I previously had done.

Hi all,

Nice test ! If you want, this material and a little note are include in the Live_DB. You can connect a turbulent texture in scattering for non-homogenus participating media (already inside the material).

Enjoy,

Matt

PS : With direct lighting, you will have faster result and shadows drop in the volume but volumetric is more burn, and you lose the quite the physic volume appearance. You can use a special setup in direct lighting just to compute the fog.

Hi all,

I am still on the demo version and I have to say I still miss a few things, like the ability to set an IOR for the reflection on glossy materials, 0 seems to reflect in every direction, but it seems I can't set any value from 8 to infinity. Having a specular value of 0 still gives me reflections, how is this ? A specular material doesn't have a second index for the reflection, and the roughness seems to be whats called glossiness or bluriness in other engines, but acts a bit weird, I understand values aren't linear, but when droping a texture in the slot I don't seem to get it right, and the invert checkbox acts a bit strange.

That said, I was reading this post and tried from it to get a wax material.

It is a start but I am not quite satisfied with the result, I would like to have a crisper reflection as on a fresh clean candle for instance. Here it looks more like those candies you eat while waiting ages with other render engines :D

Anyway, to get it look less like glass I had to increase a lot the roughness ( 0.245 here ) which kind of blurred reflections a lot as well. Is there any way to separate roughness on reflection and refraction ? Maybe a little node trick, plug a shader into the reflection slot or something.

To get a crisp reflection, set the roughness to 1.0. This input is very non-linear, if you attach an image texture you will get better results if you increase the gamma value.

To reduce the brightness of the reflection you use the index or the specular inputs. These allow you to set the glossy reflectance using either directly with a reflection value (use the specular input and set index to 0.0) or with an IOR value (use the index input and set specular to 1.0).

For the specular input 1.0 means full glossy reflection, and 0.0 means no glossy reflection.

For the index input 1.0 means there is no glossy reflection. Moving away from 1.0 in either direction will result in more glossy reflection. 0.0 means full glossy reflection.
