OTOY Forums

Hi all,

As we prepare the updated demo/test suite for the new 2.45 release and demo versions,
I will be replacing our current old 2.2 testscenes download with the ever so popular chesset scene in it.

I will keep the existing scenes, just tidy it up a bit and make sure all new features are used in them.

I was wondering if any people here would like to donate some additional demo scenes we can include in this download.

- Something practical, eg a piece of architecture, vehicle etc... Users can use the chessset scene and such to do basic tests, but they will want to see octane run on a nice, complete scenario.
- All models, textures etc... must be non-copyrighted. (eg you can't use commercial bosch models or arrowway textures in it, as we can't redistribute those). GPL/LGPL image textures is possible, but we need to know this and they will require a license text file that mentions it, aswell as authors, and a link to where they were obtained.
- The author should provide credits and i think it's always a good idea to license them under creative commons or an equiv sharing license.
- It should be small (maximum 500.000 polygons, and not more than 80MB uncompressed (OBJ+MTL+textures)
- use JPG textures where possible, as these compress better.


So if anyone wants to donate a nice, complete artistic scene that is fun for new users to test and play with (and also learn how to configure everyday materials and lights), feel free to post it here in a zip file, along with a render.

Maybe some of the nice artistic scenes some people have made for the new year competition...
We need to have any possible donated scenes by monday, which is the deadline.

Yours and many thanks for any possible donated scenes,

Here is a simple scene I was trying an animation with.

it is available to be used for any purpose.

hi radiance,

i think you should use the open/free popular scenes like the chinese dragon and cie.

I think we need enrico here. I bet he has tons of assists at his disposal

you can use the car one, abstrax has a copy, credits in the wip forum, if you need something changed there let me know, also the demon fishing one could be used too, but the obj model is 78 mb uncompressed, so I would have to resize the textures to fit that 80mb limit. The alien one obj is 145mb so that's most likely out of the question.
Any other you can think of you can use also, just let me know and I'll try to clean/resize maps. Just drop me a pm.

you can have the files to my old Competition entry of the borg cube and shuttle craft if you want.

Since then i have just been doing boring render's of Furnishing layouts for my clients.Not sure that you would want any of them.

let me know if you want that Borg scene and i'll send the files across.

Hey,

Anything is welcome, maybe post some pictures first as i can't remember the borg scene particularly...

Ok

Please see attached

what about this: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... f=6&t=4600
a lil more than 0.5 mio poly and only three textures atm. (could be merged into one)
hmm a lil boring..what do you think?


edit: or this one: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... f=6&t=4574

dave62 -> the apple keyboard and bolts look nice, would be cool if we could use those? can you zip them up and post it ?
