Hi all. Long time no post. I am not dead..... well I wasn't the last time I looked
I have been doing a large lump of consultancy work for a geotechnical database I beta test for, which seems to have taken up all my time. Thats all done and dusted now. The attached pic was rendering on my old 2 x 1Ghz PIII with 512MB of ram whilst I was doing my consultancy thing. It took 403 hours 33 mins to render at 1280 x 513. If you think this was a long time, I had to switch GI off, hence the dodgy looking clouds, and I had to knock the atmo and cloud quality down too cause the 1st time I tried to render with GI on (set to the default 2) it got to 108 hours and it was still rendering dots in the sky and had only got about a third of the way through that!!
Anyway the terrain came from the very first TG0.9 render I ever did. I am quite pleased with the sky and the clouds would have looked fab if I had a couple of months to spare to render the scene with the GI on
I am also not happy with the "sun shining through the clouds" thing. I do hope they manage to fix this soon as its really annoying
Never mind. Anyway hope y'all like and don't be too hard on your crit of the clouds.... not my fault
And a big Hi there to the most esteemed Mr Birdman
