Yafray & Escher - update

Artwork Works in Progress
1

Hi all.

I wanted to do some tests with HDR and Blender Internal Render. But then I kinda’ accidently used Yafray and liked the effect…

Here is the render. It is post-proed a bit.

C&C most appreciated.

Edited title…

Oh my gosh! Thats nice man!
Little too bright maybe, but oh so nice!

Nice “test”… I resent that. J/K. Really great! :stuck_out_tongue:
Well composed.

4

Nice! Other than the brightness and the really bumpy wood, I love it! I particularly like how you made the ring go through the holes in the glass object.

5

Ok this is the last “test” of yafray everybody…IT WORKS!!! geez
hehe on a serious note. Nice job

Thanks for the kind words guys. I know the effect was a bit overdone, but I wanted to get a kinda artistic result. I will decrease the bumpmap on the floor.

Here is another thing I made with the same settings and materials. I’l leave the deeper meening behind it for guess. It is based on some work of M.C. Escher whoes work I love very much.

I love the lighting and everything in the first image. I don’t think it’s too bright at all.

As for that last one, that’s an “impossible” shape… how did you do that? It’s probably something simple that I just don’t know about but I have to find out somehow.

Wow, Very nice render. The impossible shape is really well done. Could we have a .blend or a wire because its really incredible. I have no clue how this can be done in 3d. as an image yes but in 3d?

Very nice

Tnx guys :).

I am at school now and ImageShack is blocked here :stuck_out_tongue: (becouse of “hack” in the name… idiots) so I couldn’t upload the image there. But found another site.

I do not know where to upload the blend to, but it is easy to create. Follow the steps and look close at the image below.

So:

  1. Create the shape I made.
  2. Create a line with the two verticles where the camera should be aiming at.
  3. Create a orthographic camera and track it to the line.
  4. Place the camera on the line, away from the object.
  5. Render!

Good luck.

So thats how you do it :smiley: Awesome :Z Thanks :slight_smile:

I find the image so good, that it borders on terrorism. You, sir, are being reported to the CIA right now.

Haha, masterfully done! The other objects don’t even give anything away. I also love MC Escher, and I have some of his concepts on my “to-model” list. Thanks for the tip about tracking the camera to a line. Never would have thought of that one. :slight_smile:

15

how do you do the hdr’s so well?

please explain!!!

16

Your blenders are awesome and I love Escher, I have a book of his works…

Thank you Soter.

Roflmao:
How to do the HDR’s well… I dunno for certain for I don’t know the meaning of some parameters so I just change them and see what the result is.

Basic: make a new texture - chose image - chose the HDR - assign it to the world - there chose “real” (so that it matches the real horizon) - chose AngMap in F8 - chose Hori in “MapTo” - that’t it.

Advanced: chose Yafray as renderer - chose Yafray GI Full - EmitPower 1.1 - GI-power 0.75 - 250000 photons.

I have one sunlight casting no shadows and a lamp at the opposite site for some extra light. That’s about it. :smiley: Hope it helps.

I made another render and finetuned all sort of things. Here is the result. I faked a sort of DOF with photoshop. As well as a simple glow.

Here’s another render I did. Relative simple, but I kinda like it.
