BdB's not so simple interior with area lights

[radiance]

Hi all,

Here's a scene by BdB (bertrand benoit), a friend.
It has the ball thingy as a diffuse material with white emission colour,
and there are 4 quads above the main living area illuminating the front of the room.

The environment is just a black eg value 0 'floattexture'.

This is with the brand new area lights code, it's not efficient yet,
but with a 29 minute render time on a GTX480 i'm very happy

I loaded the obj in and did some minor tweaks while having coffee to set up the mats (it's a very old blender scene),
so the mats aren't very %100.

Rendererd at 4096x2880, then downscaled to 1280x900 with a bicubic filter, no post proc.

Awesome. Can`t wait for 2,3!

I know it's difficult to estimate but roughly how far away would you say 2.3 is? 1-2 months?

very good

i can't say, we still have to make lots of stuff, blackbody nodes, light power/watts nodes etc...
then finish MLT, which is tricky.

Fantastic progress!

Cool, very nice. So there where no fireflies in this scene?

yes there were, but i used the supersampling technique so they are not very visible.

Looks very promising Can you tell how many polygons does this lamp have (ball emitter mesh)?

Looks GREAT!
Eagerly anticipating the lights!
Fantastic work !!
