Hope you like it, you'll have 1.2.1 soon!

nice look, the suface of the metal tops there,is that uv roughness working ??? looks a tad like blurry caustics, but what i mean is can u recreate brushed metal effects yet ?

[tom]

thx.. it's a bumpmap

[philipbruton]

ok cool, but can u create brushed metal with uv values yet or is that still yet to come ?

[oscarMaxwell]

Very nice

[spekoun]

Yes, very nice... I can not stand waiting for this patch...

[Renato Lemus]

19 hrs!!!!! that's too much. I wonder if the next patch is slower than beta 1.2.

[n1tram]

Great Tom! I dont think 19h on a single p4 2.8 is not excesive. We are talking photoreal right here.

Plus most of the later samples (18-19) could have been ignored and postproduced, yet they consume huge amounts of calculating time. That depends on your own patience

Tom, could you post the times for each sample change?

[rivoli]

thx.. it's a bumpmap

you mean a procedural bump map?

[Raffi]

wow , fantastic ..

19 hours ?? is it slower than the old beta Tom ??

[tom]

thx for your comments!
first of all i'm glad to say it's a pure maxwell simulation.
19 hours is what i forget it on the oven it's 19 beta samples also! not less...
and it was already good enough to post at early stages.

philipbruton: having some small issues w/ aniso, will be fixed in near future.
oscar:
maxwell05: it's not needed, you'll have it sooner...
Renato: i explained the reason above, no it's not slow and this scene is not easy.
fritz.arn: i'm not sure, maybe in the next one.
n1tram: you're absolutely right... i didn't log the samples but i can tell
the MaxwellBench as 12.794072 for this config.
adam: yes, actual size (800 x 500 pix)
rivoli: nop, one of my ugly bump drawing
raffi:

[Intuition]

WOW nice bump maps!

How is the non-DoF blurriness?

Is the 1.2.1 patch a little sharper? I don't mind the old alpha noise as long as the image looks sharp and clean.

I know NL is doing great work and I have already been spoiled with great results. Keep u the great renders.

:: well done tom....we love it::

Nice one tom

Oscar

Have you re-moved the pixel blur filter or made it a switch?

Thanks

Andy

As I said, the blur pixel was a bug, and has been fixed as you can see in the renders
