| (...) True, and notice how the data cables don't look nearly as nice as the rest of the rendering. They also messed up the antialiasing around the edges pretty badly. They obviously pasted the rendering over the background, and they didn't do a very (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad)

| Renderings like LEGO are within our capability. Have you seen the renders by Koyan here: (URL) are a few others that are also creating very nice renders. The secret seems to be figuring out the specific settings used to create very nice renderings (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

| (...) First, I would like to agree that there are quite a few nice renders out on Brickshelf and the various personal sites. Before I begin I do not want this to come across as criticism, but I have a few questions/comments to make about some of the (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

| Hi John, I'm sorry you've had so much trouble with ray tracing. I've tried to answer some points below. (...) The thing about rendering is that it is a combination of art and science. There are so many parameters to deal with and what looks good in (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

| John, that is my goal with asking a lot of questions about rendering and trying stuff myself. I like you have found it hard but I am hoping that once I learn how to create a nice render I can share the methods. Hopefully I can present it in such a (...)

| (...) This is an interesting statement.. I find a lot of my beginning 3D students do not have a good idea of what their scene is supposed to look like. A lot of their renders have a "sameness" as well, as they have no real idea of composition, (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

Install the standard POVRay and play with that (no Lego, just plain POVRay) until you feel (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)
