Imagine3D memories

[bobbystahr]

While doing some file house-keeping I came across this old Imagine 3D scene. After conversion to .obj here it is for your viewing...er , pleasure? I may well do this again with higher AA, it only uses 5 here and I think 8 would be better.

EDIT
and I fixed the mapping on the walls so there's another render in my future.....

I like it Bobby.

Thanks Kadri

Looks good Bobby...........the bust kinda looks like that fella on the wall.

noticed that in the big render...unintentional but synchronistically appropriate for sure.

Cool Bobby!
Something about the lighting: the lightsources in the room are quite bright, and the environment outside compared to it seems to be a bit on the dark side.
I'd really love to see this scene completely without artificial lights. You'd have to increase the environment light, even perhaps the sunlight's intensity and maybe the GI sample quality.

[bobbystahr]

Thanks Hannes, part of this was working with lights which are far better than I had in Imagine when I first made it nearly a decade ago.
But I will do a sunlight w GI one for ya maybe tomorrow. This render was 3 min off 8 hours so without the 6 ceiling lights and the piano light it should go faster.

[bobbystahr]

It's the damndest thing. I know I saved the project properly but I just reloaded it to do a render for Hannes' curiousity and the glass and all the lights but the piano light are gone. I've got to 0004 in incrementals and so I checked the earlier ones and the same thing's happening. Anyone ever have this happen to them or is my computer dying?

Any errors or warnings in the bottom right?

nada, totally strange. I rebuilt the scene to try something Hannes suggested and have just closed it...I'll try a re open now.
Odd this time the whole proect is all there but I have an added Planet 1 and a Render node.

[bobbystahr]

Both the rebuilt .tgd's are all screwed up with duplicates of everything...totally weird. Too tired to try t suss it out further, will look into it again tomorrow with a fresh brain.

[AP]

Any good news there?

[bobbystahr]

started fresh and it's all workin semi normal, this box is gettin long in the tooth so to say.

You should replace the violin with a guitar no?

Indeed, and I had modeled my Martin 0017 all mahogany guitar but that went out the window in 2010 when I lost all my cyber stuff to thieves....sigh. Haven't been in Imagine long enough since then to rebuild it; also I pretty much just converted and re-textured(Imagine doesn't export textures)in Deep Ex an old scene which included the string-less violin.
