Great scene there you set dd_, lighting is nice.
I exactly have the same basket at home
But I use the top part on the other side

[dd_]

cheers tom
im pretty sure the basket is the light sucker so im rendering it without it to see

i blame ikea :/

bedroom night scene added
no mater how long i leave it running it just keeps getting more grain
i left it running for 53hrs it reached 23 samples
this was one of the cleaner renders of it so ive finished playing with this scene now (night shot anyway)

[tom]

Forgive me

[dd_]

HELL NO :/
i did the same but it lost alot of the detail so i kinda liked it without
more to the point why after 50+ hours was it gaining noise and not reducing it eh eh eh

[tom]

Try more simple geomerty as an emitter.
A tetrahedron (the smallest 3D geometry) is suitable as the lamp itself.
It must reduce rendertimes

[dd_]

hmmm
i shall try a cube in that case
i'll let you know how it goes once ive done this next maxwell render, yes another model another scene

[dd_]

olive oil render added
another glass test
i think the top of the oil has some funky model phong issues or wat not
quite like the glass and oil look though

[dd_]

decided to rerender my camera model
nearly reached 20 samples. 1 emitter, 10hrs but didnt really change in the last 6hrs. also i had to stop it as there was a small sign of a light sucker forming underneath the camera.
hope you like

i saw your camera model in CGTalk made you give Award.
But IMHO, in this case it dosen't seems look better than your original scene. anyway just supprised looks correct 'flash-kit'(sorry don't know actually word)

[dd_]

i semi prefer the lighitng and feel to this one. looks more natural imho
are u saying the flash looks correct or incorrect, i think it looks ok :/

thanks for your comments m8

Sometimes Maxwell scares me about reality
Very nice job! Can you render a larger size?

[Thomas An.]

I really like the model and the realism on this camera shot... but something is lacking in terms of color choice. The background could be spiced up a little to contrast with the camera.

[Jeff Tamagini]

amazing, simply amazing

thanks for the comments guys
thomas an. i only did it for the camera to see if i could get the textures and to see if it would come out real looking. it really wasnt about the scene or bg. all about the subject matter( but i do see where your comming from). now i know it renders nice i will think about placing it in a scene of sorts. stay tuned for more
once again thanks for the comments
