God rays for all

This is just a try of a new scene I am working on at the moment . As always feel free to add comments.

Cool. I like the rays on the second image.

Hannes · October 04, 2015, 06:27:25 AM

Yes, the second one is brilliant! A little DOF for the foreground leaves would be perfect.

Hannes · October 04, 2015, 06:28:54 AM

...and a little more random distribution of the groundcover.

Good rays!
Additionally I would repeat what Hannes says. Variation in groundcover and DoF could improve it.

Thank you for the replies. Yes id also like to have some dof in the scene but my comp wont be able i think. I am trying to desperately optimize my renders so that they dont take 15hrs each like the rock ones. I think i did achieve this for does 2 renders as they did take me less then 8hrs for both. I should have a few more renders finished soon and will post them on this post.

Actually I would like to render the 2nd one for you(us) with dof if u okay with it.

There are great potential in there.

Sure, that would again help me alot. Dont worry that scene does not have crazy numbers in detail or AA or GI as the last one. I am doing a render atm but as soon as it is finished i can send you the scene again ready for render. If it could also have the same 2k resolution as the last one or even more that would be awesome.

Best regards,

Michel H.

OKay. The resolution, detail/AA was not the problem last time. The GI yes. When I cut down the number in GI the whole render was done in 2 hours.
Do you also want dof on it?

Michelh · October 04, 2015, 04:16:06 PM

Yes please. So you think we can get a very interesting render out of that scene ?

archonforest · October 04, 2015, 04:37:42 PM

Hannes suggested good things. Maybe you can try that so there is a variety of ground cover.
Me personally do not like the big green plant in the face of the cam but this is your artwork and I respect that.

Michelh · October 04, 2015, 04:49:23 PM

Yes doing what Hannes wrote at the moment. Scene should be ready to send to you in one hour or less. Just changing a few things. Will see how that render goes.

Michelh · October 04, 2015, 04:51:42 PM

Would it be possible to do one with dof and one with out that option?

archonforest · October 04, 2015, 04:54:08 PM

Sure I can render both. No prob.

Michelh · October 04, 2015, 05:55:46 PM

The project has been sent to you.You should get it in the next 20mins. Thank you very much again for doing this.
