Share your Simple Pool Render

Hi guys, this might be a mini challenge but i dont want to call it like that. I think its more on sharing our thoughts, experience, render, settings about a certain topic.. There are times when were bored walang magawa, why not divert those times with something useful, fun and educational... by rendering a simple scene.

I started a thread at asgvis.com. "post your simple render" and it has lots of interest.. but i think this type is too big so i decided to make the coverage smaller...

siguro lets start with a pool, (swimming pool, reflected pool)...

I hope we can have lots of interest in order to pave way in this type of approach...

btw one of the objective also is to for this threads to became a knowledge sharing strings, let say may magandang material, or workflow, don't hesitate to ask question, give tips, and also share your experiment afterwards kung ikaw ay nabigyan ng tip...by doing this we will all learn from each other. Its also nice to compare how different rendering engine process the same subjects...

anjong has shared this simple render here http://www.cgpinoy.org/architectural-f3/pool-t7896.htm about pool, i like it but i think the refraction of water needs to improve further..here sabi nya walang magawa.. walang maiisip... but manage to divert his energy for being bored to something useful. In this render as simple it is we can learn a lot.. and im sure anjong has discovered something too. so this is really the main objective on this type of thread.

hmmmm... ive got one but its not so old.... it has a pool but the main focus is the house... dont know if it fits here... (see image below)

pwede rin erick.. vray max ba to? any special setting that you use for the water. medyo hirap ako ng kaunti sa refraction pagdating sa vraymax.
sana may magexplore ng caustics.. yung natural hindi yung using opacity map.

Nice thread Sir Nomer. Thanks for bringing this up!

ser nomer,vray for max na po yan... no special settings.. just black on the diffuse slot, black on the reflection and add falloff map, the color of your water varies on your refraction slot... well on that case i used very light blue (nearing to white)... add noise on bump slot, and on caustics naman... hirap kase pag mahina ang pc... havent tried that pa naman but i will... for the mean time ps muna ang caustic effects....

here is my share...nice thread sir nomer, giving thoughts. it's christmas time in the city...
test render before...

Nyaaaaaa....matagal na di ako nakapag-exterior with pool. Nasa baul ko pa siguro yun. I will post kung mahanap ko pa.

thats the main point erick... im also doing one at the moment. i have tried caustic sa vray SU hirap ako...

@bong thats nice bro.,. yun nakikita yung kulay ng tiles pa at the same time kita yung bump.

i will be putting reference photo here.






here we could see the effect of caustic. can see slightly the tiles below at saka syempre yung bump..

eto naman yung pinost ko dati.
d ko pa din natry ung caustics takot ako baka sobrang bagal ng rendering. heheh

etong image mo sir, pareho ng bagong release na material sa asgvis, with caustics. ganyang ang result malinaw.
eto yung tutorial video.

@ daps bago nalang.. kahit pool lang hahahaha...

@migz.. man yur taking vraycinema 4d in a new level..ano yung pinagkaiba sa vray SU? mas gusto ko yung second image.

madali pa din sa su mag texture, sa c4d daming patung patung na layer ang iseset, transparency etc..sa loob na ng c4d ka pde gmawa alpha. white point and black point,voila!, khit bump pde mo na gwin dun sa loob, need mo lang isang image/texture.

hey migz thanks for the link.. nagyun kulang napansin yun.. pagaralan ko.. palagay ko madali lang kasi andun na yung mga parameters... displacement pal yung ginamit nya sa tubig nya hindi bump. makita mo talaga sa video na talagang caustics.

tribal tuesday has shared this one before.. yung approach nya is using shadow map sa light.. very cool effect din..

Cool thread sir. Maya try ko yung pool with caustics, di kasi ako nagtatry nun kasi baka ma-stroke yung pc ko hehehe.

Update ko with caustics. Thanks sa comment.

Share ako ng konti. Mental ray naman akin.



Real caustics, no tricks, no projected maps.

night scene

itu lang sa akin simple but rock na pool....

here'smine too..hehe! wala rin mgawa noon, sensya na walang effects basta lng mkagawa ng pool. thank you!

Updated infinity pool with caustics.

longipixel.. thats pure caustics indeed. bro tut naman Jan oh...

thanks for your output remlex and dreeff. much appreciated. i tried also last night playing with max pero yung output ko halos ganyan. parang medyo metallic ang dating dahil malakas ang refelection and less refraction. to yung try ko muna with max..



above is pure vraymax output

@anjong i think yur lastest with caustics rocks.. any chance of sharing your water material setting, caustics setting and anything which you think helpful in bringing this nice pool. how about the rendering time. i feel many people would prepare not to use caustic because of fear of rendering time.

btw caustics calculation can be saved too right?

My share from tutorial section. Thanks Nomer for this thread.

share ko din simple pool render ko,,,,not my design by the way,,,

meron din akong ganyan sir nomer na post ko na sa archl section,
kasi hindi pa nabuo tong thread na to!
