Sandy, I can't tell from the picture since it's backlit, but where did you get the table from? It looks alot like one I placed on TurboSquid, but then again, alot of tables look like that. If it is mine, glad you used it so well. Excellent work.

[ivox3]

wow, ... he quoted the whole gallery ..

hey Sandy,... don't think I ever said it, ..but that illuminated CG Sphere ... very clever.

[sandykoufax]

Hi, sourcery

haha, you quoted my whole gallery.

did you say this image?



Yes, I modeled it.

-------

Hi, misterasset

thank you so much.

but the table is not yours, sorry.
I modeled it with just simple box.

--------

Hey Chris,

Thank you.

and I'm still waiting your screen saver.

[sourcery]

hi Sandykoufax,

sorry haha you're the first person i've ever responded on this forum site.. i'm really attracted to your renderings. so i didn't know i actually quoted the entire gallery....sorry

i guess i'm a real beginner now comparing to your renderings. i was a bit confused about hdr and blending the model with the background.

may I ask if you will be available/willing to do tutoring over the internet?

Hi, sourcery.

thank you for your comment and welcome to maxwell forum.

In my case, normaly I try to model all object like below ;



but in most case, it is not good method, so I convert a bg image to MXI image and use it for bg.
maybe many people doing like that.



If you have some question and need help, always you can pm or reply.

but I'm afraid that you can't understand my english because I have not familiar with it.

and you could find a tutorial of my maxwell contest render on the maxwell area magazine in a few days.

even though it is written based on maxwell 1.0 and not a good tutorial, but I hope it will helpful to you.

[sourcery]

HI Sandykoufax,

I'm afraid I will be annoying and ask too many questions haha.

There's so many things I 'm confused and don't understand. I've been reading about how to create a hdr image but I got really lost about how I should create two different images and combine into one and turn it into a hdr in HDR shop... from another thread in this forum. Then I haven't figure out how to create a MXI image. Even if I incorporate a hdr background in the environment, how do I control the size of the background or how much of the background will be in the rendering? And sometimes when I use the materials from the mxm gallery, it turns out black in the rendering, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It is just so weird.

Well I think your english is fine and I don't think I will have any problems communicating with you.

May I ask again if you will be available for tutoring? I was thinking that I can invite you to my computer through gotomypc.com and we can speak through a microphone through MSN ..that's how I learned Solidworks through Cadcim - that's how my instructor taught me.

And maybe I can send you a check or wire you ?

Anyways, please let me know if you are available or interested.

Incredible new set!

btw/ sourcery you can use logmein.com, it's free

[sandykoufax]

Hi sourcery.

I added you to my msn list.

but I have no microphone so we can just chat through the msn live msg.

and answer about your questin is ;

1. background : in my case, I just use .jpg file for my background and it's very easy

a. launch maxwell viewer (mxcl.exe -d) by the click of maxwell render icon on your desktop.
b. load image which you'd like to use background.
c. save MXI
d. launch maxwell studio or other your main application (in my case, 3dsMax)
e. loading your MXI background and adjust mapping offset and scale
(if you using maxwell studio, you can see the result of tunning in viewport)
f. render.

2. mxm gallery file

you must re-assign the path of textures of downloaded mxm file in you material editor.



and thank you so much, iker

Very extensive for Maxwell. How many hours of rendering does this represent?

[sandykoufax]

Thank you very much, Nico. Sorry for late reply.

Thank you so much, creasia. you're site is very nice!

and my render time? well, some images are rendered within an hour

and others are more than 30hours.

The longest render time is about 100hours with my old machine.

[sandykoufax]

hey Mister Superb Work.. how are you..? I mean the only stuff I don't buy are the holes in the ground... too perfect if we want to be peaky.... other than that... a real photo.. when it loaded, I first thought.. ok, here is the reference..where's the render...?

maybe add a slight displacement to the glass.. I believe old glass was not so straight like today's glass..
