Yes, they do. I will try some objects with no clipmaps.

Yeap, Tom recently said something about intersecting clipped planes. It slows down the render quite a bit.

I'm making some instancing tests with geometric grass blades and I'm getting a benchmark of ~20 rendering a 640x480 image with a dual core. (I don't know if this post is useful for something and I think it's going off topic also as this is a gallery... but here it goes; I'll remove this if you want, of course)

Let's start a "Instance Testing" thread.

I feel the need.

On the other hand, this is the most hits my gallery has ever gotten...

Updated on first page with a new project at work.
Some of you may have already seen these from my wip.
If so, sorry for making you look again.

New renders from a challenge on 3dAllusions.com.
Rendered overnight each at 5000 px:

Nice work Brian. I'm not a huge fan of the glare/flare look on renders so I prefer the sharper shots, or somewhere in between, but overall very nice.

I really hope you'll win the contest, though i haven't look at the other guys renders!
I agree for the glares, i think they are at less 2x too high, but maybe it's a matter of taste!

Let's cross our fingers

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks, guys!
Yeah, too much glare. I usually get carried away with that.

Hi Bubbaloo

each picture has 5000px !!!!

How long was the rendertime for each picture and how high was the SL-

Layer (~18?)

Wow you have a very good hardware - how is the componets in your machine cpu and Ram ?

Greets and so on

good...

three crits...

- under some cam angles the fire look flat...
- the brown leather looks like chocolate a bit (yum yum)
- maybe try to add a bit of color to the glass table... too transparent..

How long was the rendertime for each picture and how high was the S.L.?

Probably 12-15 hrs. for each render and S.L. 10-11.
I have plans to resume them to get rid of more noise later.

how is the componets in your machine cpu and Ram ?

Dual Quad Xeon 5355
16 Gb Ram
Quadro FX 4500
Vista 64

It comes in handy in a crunch!
