After many years I found this thread again and I decided to update the links and update the project. I’m surprised I still had it.

Here’s the old project files relocated…

Here’s the new project file. I rendered with Luxrender 0.6RC3 (still beta) and used blender 2.48a.

Enjoy!

To answer another question, I did copy an image I had found but had no clue who the author was. Original Design goes to DivineError on Deviant Art.

Thanks!

WOW :o I am assuming that you used caustics?

#3

I used caustics on the windows logo but not on the fruit.

#4

#5

wow! i like the apple the most, windows the less :stuck_out_tongue:

#8

Now, if it was linux…

#9

great materials

#10

Great job. Looks really beautifull. And thanks for posting the .blend files, I learned a lot from them.

I like bananas.

#11

I downloaded your .blend file and imported a very simple object I made for something else. I aplied you materials and changed only the colours.
Glass Bonsai Tree.
Now’s my question, what’s the trick? Why does it looks so good?

#12

Roger, In yafray when you are rendering transparent objects, make sure the objects are not touching between them, or you´ll get artifacts. I think the glass jar is in contact with the tree and the base.

#13

That’s correct, I’l think of that later on.

Why is that anyway?

#14

I used caustics on the windows logo but not on the fruit.

Not that I care if someone used those ‘always fantastic’ caustics, they are simply a concentration of the light. But so I would say you have caustics in your fruit.

Nontheless is it a very good render. I was surprised though by the models. The banana and aple are very lowpoly with subsurf level 4, but the orange is made of 14386 polys [!] I’m sure you can do the same with less polys and subsurf.

Thanks for sharing :wink:

The fruit is great! And the windows logo…well…it’s as good as a windows logo can be. :wink:

#16

sry. my mistake. I did not intent to sound so harsh.

good job btw

#17

I couldn’t resist placing one of my own objects into you scene to see how it would turn out. I am very happy with the results. Thanks for posting the .blend file.

Those fruit look delicious, like candy.

#19

as i am a juggler, im always looking for more glass objects to juggle. looks like the crowd will be doing more “oooooh”'ing and “aaaaaaah”‘ing at what i am juggling than how i am juggling. who knows, maybe i could just toss that candy lookin’ apple up and down and they’d applaud. :wink:

#20

So did I.

Thank you!
