Hi anyone, just finished this hourglass model
100% blender - cycles, and with just 150 samples using denoise! thanks Blender devs, it’s early Christmas this year :-)…
a couple more pictures are on artstation
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8amEE
and the model is on my gumroad page for free
as usual, comments and suggestions are very welcome, we’re all improving together
hope you like it, have a great week!
Like the style and performance of the drawing a lot.
The only thing that you lacked when doing it was time… there is no sand in it :).
You are right!!!
I wanted a magic look so at first i had glowing particles inside the glass, quite pretty to watch but they produced too many fireflies so i just turned them off… and then i completely forgot to add the sand :-)!
nice work ,what exactly did you did in the sampling settings , i cant make an almost amazing img like this with only 150 samples ,i always use 300 sample yet thy are still noisy
it’s the new denoise feature in the daily build, works very well unless you have too many fireflies… if that happens it gives up and you’ll get weird artifacts… this is the video where i learned about it…
and i made another few renders for comparison, but it appears i exceeded the max resolution and it was rescaled… hope the differences are still visible…
uploaded the comparison image on google drive, this should be full res (hopefully)
