OTOY Forums

Ok Friends!

I am DONE! A new one is online. It is the biggest Jewelry animation i made so far! It was a complete K I L L E R for Octane. Rendering hundrets of Diamonds through a glass box. It was a huge project but it as also a extrem fun to produce it.

Some information for you specialists here:

Mode: Pathtracing
Pathtracing depth 24
caustic blur 0.03
200 to 4500 samples / frame (depending on part of szene)
some glare post effect
some colour grading, tint and lensflares in after effects

If you have further questions, don´t hesitate to ask!

I really hope you guys like it. You can see it in full quality here (press HD):



Thanks for watching. Have fun......

Chris!

Chris, there are a LOT of things I like about this, that are truly stunning... however, once again, I think you need to "cut to the chase" (as we say in US) and get shit going much faster. And imho, you do not spend enough time close up...

Obviously, you are shooting for very elegant. This can be done at a much faster clip, and still be dripping with elegance. Again, imho.

Great stuff bro.

Edit: Okay, I've watched this ten or so more times... I was starting to become bothered by the bg color - thinking that it is likely screwing with the warmth of the gold.. and got to thinking; if this was mine, I would absolutely do this in an ancient temple type setting - with the ring on one of those Greek stone pillar thingies that would be eroding away along with the (dof) surrounding temple (leaving the ring floating once everything is gone) - while time-lapse sky/clouds etc pass. To me, that would truly say eternity. Yeah, it would be a chunk-o-work, but this is how I would do it. For something like this, you have to go BIG. But regardless of my personal tastes, this is incredible work. You got chops Chris!

Ha, Ha, Ha. Nice ideas. Indeed. Would be amazing to see it like that! But i think this is some level above what i can do at the moment haha! I still have to learn many many things to make things like your ideas possible, but they sound really really great! Maybe i should visit you in US and be a "trainee" for a while to learn from the big guys!

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Kririks and good ideas are allways welcome!

Best regards Chris!
