[nuno1980]

Hi!

I use OctaneVR 2.23.2 standalone running Win 8.1 x64 with GTX 780 Ti Classified.

PMC kernel settings:
- 32-depth (diff+spec)
- path term power 0.000
- 5000-reject
- caustic blur 0.000
- parallelism 1
- rest defaults

Material water (pool) settings:
- reflection 0.950
- transmission 1.000
- ior 1.316
- dispersion 0.005
- rest def

1024x640 downscaled:

55127 samples per pixel (spp) and 25h40min at 2560x1600.

Do you like it?

PS: If you want to download an image original (2560x1600) then you may buy it by 5 euros or 6 dollars - contact to PM.

I use OctaneVR 2.23.2 standalone..

Finally, You found download button..

Do you like it?

Yeah, it's nice test, like one You would do for fun..

WHAT??? Man for 6Bucks I would at least I would like to see:

* scene,
* multiple tests with differently tweaked parameters,
* optimisations,
*etc.

-..in short something that gives us value, on the long term
(by saving some render or meterial setup time by avoiding tests..)

if You try to do any bussines, at least do some homework, work things out & offer something that would be useful, or at least beautiful..

as test it's fine, but I really hope that "selling" point was a joke I did not understand..

Thank you but not fun because all things are real-life.

The image original isn't free, sorry because it helps I'll buy OR full-version. Due to the long render time and to the my videocard stress.

Not a bad test.
But not only physically and it is also visually incorrect.
I can buy this image fo 1€ just help you pay your cards stress.
On a second thought. Nope sorry I cant. Thats to expensive already

Ok.

Visual and physical are bad!??!???? No, my image gets almost true photorealism!!

1 euro - What's your resolution screen of image? What's your kernel with or without caustics?

To be honest, for a test it is ok. but that׳s it.
Selling this image is just a lack of self-awareness.

Just messing with you.
I said not a bad test.
But to be fair it's incorrect.. You have to add volume to the pool itself to make it realistic. Pool wave scale is way off. Your pool's scale looks like a shoe box(in scale).
Think of the real life wave scales Add wider lens, wider image aspect, volume with scatter and color absorb. add textures.
Compare it with real life photos.

And its also very sad see you spend 25 hours to render a noise free caustics. That is on Octane of course not you.
Try selling this to shutterstock like sites. I'm sure there will be people will buy but its not ethical cause you're running a free copy of the software.
do more show us more

I just love your caustics obsession. And the fact you let Octane 55127 samples per pixel to achieve that wet dream.

Guess this is how it started with Oppenheimers obsession. Look what happened then.

1. Waves object needs more subdivisions. They look too sharp.

2. The shadow areas are still noisy.

If you want to sell this picture then make it perfect.
