Lighting test bonanza

These renders are just for fun; a happy hour spent trying to figure out how Superfly raytraces.

Very well, as it happens. Oh look! Glowing lights. Yes please ...





Firefly

Underexposed Superfly




IBL only

IBL dialled a bit


Wait a second ... we can have GLOWING OBJECTS?! GIMME GIMME GIMME


OK, that was worth a better quality render...

Gah moved her arm too high. Ah well, seriously need to figure out how to reduce noise in Superfly...

Alright, put it away Ix

Are you using a video card to assist in the render?

No it's just a standard Macbook - they're normally pretty good for rendering though; this one outperforms my old i7 PC which had a mid-high spec 2gb dedicated graphics card. Do you think a separate graphics setup would help with render times? Beyond the standard Apple graphics emphasis I mean?

Yeah a guy called Jeff emailed her head over :)

I was thinking along the lines of updating drives on the video card and see if the noise goes away. I don't think that would help if your using a Macbook however. There are render servers if you want to go large scale.
