  Re: Can anyone help by suggesting some lighting tips?
 
(...) <snipped> (...) Hi Allan, First of all, please do use the radio_2 settings. Radio_3 uses extreme high radiosity settings and radio_2 is a bit more CPU-friendly. Changes are that you'll get some artifacts (strange dark patches) but then, (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Can anyone help by suggesting some lighting tips?
 
(...) I grabbed those files. I started it again with radio-3.inc and only a couple of my original lights. The radio file seems to include an ambient light setting, but by itself this still seemed a bit dark. I also commented out the line that (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Have a look at Jeroen's POV Radiosity includes at (URL) It's great, despite the long render times. --Orion (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Can anyone help by suggesting some lighting tips?
 
I've been working at rendering a more realistic version of my little 4-wide fire engine. I've gotten it to look much better than my first attempts, which did not use radiosity and were quite cartoonish. So... here's where I'm at so far: (URL) think (...)

  Re: UPDATE Re: vose inspection car render
 
(...) Hi Rick and others, After reading your post, I took the challenge to make a render as realistic as the above mentioned picture. I took a standard LEGO engine from the 7xxx serie and placed it on a 9V track. If you look close to the Royal Train (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

There are no more problems with this I/O restrictions but now everytime I wanna render with LGEO parts new file appears - colors.inc - and POV-ray wants render that file and not the selected LEGO model.

  Problems with POV-Ray

  Re: UPDATE Re: vose inspection car render
 
(...) Well, first you'll need to stop working with the lighting to bring out as much detail as possible from the black brick. Real photos are usually slightly muddy. Also, you'll need to add some digital dust to your model, and make the surfaces (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: UPDATE Re: vose inspection car render
 
(...) Hi, Travis, First of all, nice model! I don't have too many tips on making a render photorealistic, but one thing that may help is if you decrease the camera angle and then move the camera farther away so you see the whole model. That will (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.trains)

  Re: UPDATE Re: vose inspection car render
 
(...) Yes, it's me again, There are some good tips in the "Digital lighting & rendering" book by Jeremy Birn: You should use at least 2 lights: a key light [KL] (your main light) and a fill light [FL] (to fill the shadows created by the KL) You want (...)

well i'm still at it. and i'm please to say that I think that things are getting better and better.
