I made some renders for fun and tried to convince other users I made a real plexiglass model to have reference pictures of caustic and refractions but I am not CG God so only few fishes catched a hook

Of course I didn,t win anything because fryrender boss was in JURY. ( just kiddin')

Well, it looks cool!

[KurtS]

Great idea! Would also be nice to see it with a bit mor "dramatic" light, or a darker background

[rusteberg]

Hey! That's clever!

although, i have never seen a plexiglass model with such clean edges...

[Stinkie7000]

Looks awesome.

Great idea! Would also be nice to see it with a bit mor "dramatic" light, or a darker background

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a black, velvety 'infini' (sorry, don't know the English word - just ask Hervé ) and some nice studio lighting?

THX for all comments.
I want to tell Bubbaloo You had absolutely right about rendering in the bigest resolution that PC can handle.

I rendered this .mxi in 1000X1500 at beginning and caustic kicks my ass badlly at 19 SL it looks like noise will never gone.
So I rendered it in 3000X4500 for THE SAME time (about 16Sl) and after resizing downa , PUFF it,s gone (usual suspect quote )

Thx man.

[Bubbaloo]

Glad I can help...

It would be really cool if you put some rough cut marks on the edges, like a saw cut. It would increase the realism even more!

Oh yeah, and buy this Maxwell ready pen, too... Shameless self promotion!

Nice! Hey just wait until you see what V2 can do with a scene like this...

[zdeno]

I am very courious how this V2 would resolve all this caustics.

If You have any beta install.exe I can try just now !

[Bubbaloo]

Sorry, I wish I could.

Very nice, the last time i tried plexi on a scaled model, it was pretty impossible to render that clean
