Modeled with LightWave. Reached SL 21 in ~60 hours



I also did a small multilight-demo with this scene:

Beautiful!
60 hours? Time to upgrade the old hardware?

Love the multilight setup.

Thank you, Bubbaloo.

I think my Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz is fine

It's probably the light setup. Especially the light from the inside of the lampshade causes noise which took ages to clear...

Just kidding. I've been known to let things render for weeks.

Very Nice work.. and the multilight is so cool... is it flash...?

Bubbaloo

Mee too. I remember the times with the Alpha Versions...

Hervé, thank you. And yes, it's Flash

[Bubbaloo]

And yes, it's Flash

I need to learn how to do that! So cool.
Any chance of a little lesson?

I guess you have you been working with Flash already, so here is a quickie in AS2:

Import the pics into Flash and convert them to MovieClips. Check 'Export for Actionscript' and give each MovieClip a unique name. Now add two empty MovieClips to the stage - one for the previous chosen pic and one for the actual on the top (so we can crossfade from the old image to the new). Make a button for each image/MovieClip, place them on the stage and give them a unique name, too. Now put all the names of the buttons and MovieClips into an multidimensional array and create a loop for onRelease, onRollOver and onRollOut. We now need a function for the crossfading of the images and for the button states, let me know if it worked for you so far

Beautiful...awesome....great.
I'm gonna try your flash technique thanks!!
Is the lamp paper material thin SSS?
What optimisations do you guys think would improve the render times a bit?

[tom]

Very nice idea!

buy 3 more Intel i7 PC,s

or set .mxi as emitter for this lamp (it,s cover), when light coming through something it is always noise maker.

Hello everyone,

I had some time to spare during my easter holiday and decided to code a multilight-viewer for the Maxwell community

Read more and download the Viewer here.

If you have any suggestions for improvements, let me know.

Feel free to use the viewer. Would be awfully nice if you post the link if you use it

Thank you!!!
