Well, since we're all showing our cards...

I also played around with this scene over the weekend. I did use the "multilight" option on this one, so both images are from the same rendering. I'll try to do a multilight animation when I get the chance.

Full 1920x1080 Res

These images look great guys. I like the personal touches that each of you have put in.

Adrian, can you tell us render times and machine specs, your original resolution looks large so I'm wondering how long this took?

Anyone up for a biased version to compare quality and time?

Thanks,
Hoop

Hi Hoop,

Well, I let this one render all day Sunday on a stock Core2Quad Q6600. I stopped it after 27hours, but it was pretty clean in most places after only 12. There were just a few tricky spots (like on the left side handle) than I probably needed to review the materials and light setup to clean it up a bit faster.

I could also really use a new i7 machine (a 920 is about 2.3 times faster) and I think Thea really is going to fly on a networked setup.

But, I can certainly say that Thea is the fastest unbiased engine I've had the pleasure to use... and it's truly a pleasure to use!!

Which I gotta say is amazing for a pre-release 1 "beta"!

P.S. What's truly awesome is how fast Thea resolves an image in the beginning. Here's where the image was at after only 35min! And this is a tough scene with over 20 separate light sources, 15 of which are IES's!!

But now... :mrgreen:

...zero noise... :mrgreen:

...and with cooperative job (2x i7 920) :2h :mrgreen:

...a dream!

Thanks Giannis...and all the team!!!

INDEED

I confess that I am in fact ready to MIGRATE to THEA.

Okay here is a quick relight, I opologise for crappy Vimeo quality in advance, I rendered the above scene for 1h 30m, I never regrouped the lights, just used them as I got them in original model by Noro.

I should not have used video compression as it further degraded images, but anyway...

I will try with Camtasia 6 next time.

That is too cool!!!

Nice one solo, is it very easy to do?, can you add multiple colored relights?

Thanks, yes, as many as you can think of, in any shade you can dream of.
