Teapots ? Voxel teapots...

More funky renders to come, maybe other meshes than teapots
First one was rendered to 4K (looks cool as a wallpaper hehe)
Second and third one are only test renders at 1024px, low samples ammount
Everything is still work in progress for now, comments and critics are welcome...

edit: the meshes are around 90 to 150mb on disk :lol:
But I could optimize them a lot, currently they have the same ammount of density everywhere
Even on all the flat surfaces, that's a waste of polygons... But still not enough high poly for 4k resolution :mrgreen:

First and second one use transmission for fake SSS effects ;)

i love the middle one, it's really looks near SSS like.

Thanks, I will try to render the first one mesh, with the second one environement and settings ;)
The second one lighting is a blurred HDRI of a desert, the blue sky in background and the orange bounce from the ground
That's why the effect is so much visible, the difference of the two colors make the transmission shine :D

The first one looks like cheese.

Ahaha thanks, now everytimes I look the first one I think about cheese :|

light is... Ektachrowesome + blurred HDRIs :mrgreen:
Thanks to Octane blazing interactive preview, it was quick and easy to tweak the lights

Very cool Sam. Nice fake SSS mate :) Wich app did you use to make the voxel meshes? 3DCoat ? ;)

No :lol: I used a 30 day demo of some alpha software...

Hey Sam,
this is supercool 8-)

I have a folder called "Inspiration" in my WIP hard drive... hope you don't mind if I save the first of your shot there ;)

...and c'mon, why all this secrecy about this voxel-generator? no wait, I have a suspect now... :D

Nice ones:) It would be cool if we could import voxel data from fluid simulators into octane:)

Thx, well they are converted back to triangles for Octane
For animation you would need a sequence of meshes. Realflow can do it already ;)

Heh, no problems... if you are into cheese and teapots :lol:

Well there's no secrecy, you can find it using google... its just that I don't want everyone to know my little tools :mrgreen:
If you got a suspect, you are on the right path already ;)

Bubble gum was missing, here it is... rendered at 2k edit: 4k res, downsized to 1024px
(its the mesh of the first one, then I tried to recreate the light of the second one)

Its done by memory since for the picture 2 I didn't saved an OCS :(
