Here goes:


VIEW A_1 (RAW MENTALRAY RENDER OUTPUT) need advices on materials, lighting, etc...

VIEW A_2 (PHOTOSHOP ENHANCEMENT) adjusted image hue/sat, lighting effects/highlights, dof/bluring, etc...


VIEW B_1 (RAW MENTALRAY RENDER OUTPUT) need advices on materials, lighting, etc...

VIEW B_2 (PHOTOSHOP ENHANCEMENT) adjusted image hue/sat, lighting effects/highlights, dof/bluring, etc...

Maraming salamat po sa inyo. Mabuhay po kayo!

Wow Sir kakatuwa naman yang special mention .. thanks po ulit sir .. regarding naman sa WIP mo .. its a good start , comments ko lang ..

Modeling : Kailang mag practice ka ng scaling at proportion, at add ka smoothness sa mga bagay na namodel mo, turbosmooth or meshsmooth will do.

Material : try to make it simple and control your glossiness
Mapping : as much as possible yung proportion ng material mo near realistic try to make it proportions.

Lighting : overall ok naman sya , try mo taasan samples mo sa light and play along with them lang para mawala ang mga noise, meron you portion dyan na super bright ang light try to control it para wag naman super bright ang dating.

Rendering : once ma finalize mo na try mo render sa malaking resolution para mas may dating .. at ang image precession mo taasan mo din pag sa final na .

Hope naka help .. thanks ulit sa pag aaral at sana wag u mag sawa mag practice everyday..

More power to you at sa CGPinoy!

Sir, thank you so much talaga!!! Sobra thankful po ko ngreply kyo. Salamat po s mga tips, mkakatulong lahat ito.
Questions ko po:

1. Yun raw MR render ko po mapapansin nyo, di realistic? What do you guys do to make it more alive? May kinalaman po ba ito s softness and objects? Sobra gusto ko po malaman how to make it work...
2. Any tips on values para s glossiness? Kasi po dyan s gawa ko, ngbawas ako ng gloss-0.5 to 0.75, ano po yun effective? Ganun din po s reflections, any specific values para maging tama lang?

sensya n po s kakulitan...
3. Yun green material ko po, dating transparent glass, I tried to work with caustics pero ganyan po ang lumabas...

Sir, kahit di nyo sagutin lahat to, importante po makapagpost kyo more tutorials with highlights on these issues??

Thanks po ulit!

Mabuhay kayo at and CGpinoy!

cge sir gawan kita tutorial w8 mo lng ha ... pwede ko sundun ang models mo? para may idea ka kung ano ang work around sa scene mo .. to add realism . gagayahin ko lng yung scene mo .. bka bukas upload ko lng ang video .. thanks ulit ..

WOW, sige sir!!! Affirmative... roger that! salamat po tlga ng marami! abangan ko sir ha? Pos pg ntuto n ko mabuti s inyo, update ko to gawa ko...

1. Yun raw MR render ko po mapapansin nyo, di realistic? What do you guys do to make it more alive? May kinalaman po ba ito s softness and objects? Sobra gusto ko po malaman how to make it work...

Kung gumagamit ka ng Photometric lights at mr photographic exposure adjust mo yung exposure. Pumili ka sa mga presets like Physically based lighting,Indoor daylight (for interiors). To add depth at maiwasan ang lumulutang na objects sa scene, maglagay ka ng Ambient Occlusion sa Materials mo.

2. Any tips on values para s glossiness? Kasi po dyan s gawa ko, ngbawas ako ng gloss-0.5 to 0.75, ano po yun effective? Ganun din po s reflections, any specific values para maging tama lang?

Check mo dito sa post ko http://www.cgpinoy.org/architectural-f3/my-mental-ray-render-t5491.htm. The higher the glossy samples, the less yung noise ng reflections.


sensya n po s kakulitan...
3. Yun green material ko po, dating transparent glass, I tried to work with caustics pero ganyan po ang lumabas...

Use the Arch & Design preset materials. May glass preset dun na transparent. Sa scene mo use the Glass (Solid Geometry). Use caustics on a case to case basis.

For specific questions, subukan ko sagutin. Cheers!

Nakalimutan kitang i-congratulate sa practice mo. Very nice first try sa mental ray. Keep practicing bro.

Sir Logikpixel, maraming salamat po sa inyo!!! MAlaking tulong po lahat tips nyo! I am greatful to be here at cgpinoy, madami n po agad ako ntutunan s nyo ni Sir Edosayla, at s iba pang mga ngseshare...

Thanks nga po pla s kind words, much appreciated po!

More power po s nyo!

For your tips Sir logikpixel:

1. Kuha ko n po yun sample value for glossy reflection... I'll surely apply this po!

2. Yun pong MR photographic exposure, di ko po masyado matandaan, but I'll sure to look into it. Malamang isa po ito sa mga missed out ko...

3. ambient occlusion, noted po.

4. Yun sa color glass po, I intend to put caustics effect like the one done by Jennifer O'connor, yun pong mga color glasses with nice caustic effects, kaya lang kasi sabi nya s Part4 p nya ituturo, hehe... baka po my tips kyo... I've seen your caustics tests with water, ganda po... pano po ba yun?

Alam ko lng po, icheck/enable yun caustic effects for all objects s render setup, pero di ko po makuha yun s material editor e..

Balak ko n po mgpost ng update nito renders ko, medyo may improvement n po e, in terms of realistic effect, with your help with sir edosayla, but I'm still waiting for more tips from you guys and the rest of our MR masters and also not to forget sir edosayla's tutorial for me...

Sir logikpixel and sir edosayla, salamat po ulit!

last mga sirs, pano po yun lighting na esi s mental ray? esi nga ba yun??

1. Kuha ko n po yun sample value for glossy reflection... I'll surely apply this po!

2. Yun pong MR photographic exposure, di ko po masyado matandaan, but I'll sure to look into it. Malamang isa po ito sa mga missed out ko...

Nasa Environment yun. Press 8 sa keyboard(shortcut)

3. ambient occlusion, noted po.

4. Yun sa color glass po, I intend to put caustics effect like the one done by Jennifer O'connor, yun pong mga color glasses with nice caustic effects, kaya lang kasi sabi nya s Part4 p nya ituturo, hehe... baka po my tips kyo...

Check mo ulit sa tutorials. May kailangan ka na Enable sa Object Property nung glass/metal/mirror mo under sa Mental ray. I-check mo ulit sa tutorial nung caustics. But like what I said, use caustics only when you really need to.

Balak ko n po mgpost ng update nito renders ko, medyo may improvement n po e, in terms of realistic effect, with your help with sir edosayla, but I'm still waiting for more tips from you guys and the rest of our MR masters and also not to forget sir edosayla's tutorial for me...



Good luck with this bro. Keep practicing lang.
