I'm trying to cook the noise out of that second image, good test of the co-op feature.
These shots just an offshoot of a recent prop dev I've been working on, hope you like them. :)

beautiful images glebe.

The 2nd one look very realistic like a photo taken with ISO1600 film!

I like this. The table doesn't look "there" enough where there is no reflection though. That's the only thing I could crit. :)

I saw this in your other post. It turned out nice especially the close up of the book. I have to agree on the ags table. It looks like things are floating in space. The test you did with regular glass looked more real, but the noise was too big of a problem. What happens if you co-op using regular glass? Would it clear up then? Did you try just putting plain glass on the edges of the table?

...the only improvement would be to replace the flowers with a radioactive swizzle stick. :D

Thanks oz :)
Frances, you're right that glass table was/is problematic. I considered a non-ags edge to define the boundary but something tells me this isn't going to work before I cook it. :oops:
Last option would be to render an ior glass [like the vase] and just comp in the less noisy parts to the main render...........or really make use of Maxwell's infinite feature of course....... :lol:

4 Hero, cheers dude. :)

Eric, you took the words right out of my fingers. :)
From my tests so far, getting an ior glass to go clean is like chasing the road-runner [Beep! Beep!]...........unfortunately, non ior glass looks dead to me.

JD, cheers :lol: now I got a bunch of those 'round here somewhere.............

Another great render from glebe...whom I'm starting to suspect is almost too comfortable with the materials system :D

Thanks Sandy, Wayne :) :)

Tea_bag, the camera is f-stop2, iso 400 and slow shutter with polygonal blades.

DrMerman, thanks mate...........yes I'm really impressed with the material system, not enough hours in the day to learn all this stuff. :oops:

jdp, thanks :) ah the secret message! :lol: Shame he was no Dante -in the wordplay stakes- but the woodcuts are very nice.

ivox, thanks dude. :) The cover I'm pleased with, not rocket science but it's worked well. :)

Quite artistic, I like the bokeh most.
