Shandur the town

[Tomaya]

hi everyone
Well , my first job , 15 years ago was video game backgrouds ,modeling-textures-light , the first one (game) was called "athanor" a very nice matrix style game , before matrix (!), i've done more than 120 levels of a futuristic underground city called bysance , just for fun (and cause i love maya for the modeling ...) i decided to re-create a little piece of this town i had in mind , so this is the "shandur District" where the policemen are robots ....

Modeling with maya (a lot's of poly-bridges .... i love it )
rendering : maxwell 1.6 , amazing spanish renderer

Cool stuff Thomas! yeah I remember that picture,nice modeling style!
You know you can now upload your render as an attached image and it will show up as a large version within your post (and you'll get a nice thumbnail in the thread listing)
Here is the instruction:

from what planet do you came from? :D

I've always been curious about Maxwell. Everyone seems to really like it, but most of the renders I've seen from it have a lot of noise/grain, like this one. In Maxwell, is this just a settings issue that can be corrected, but at the expense of render time? Or is that noise just something you have to live with?

[Tomaya]

hi !

Maxwell is a bit special , it's a full phisycal engine , no fake with it ,so if you work on complex scenes like this one (i mean in term of number of light source , material complexity ...) it will be very long to refine and remove the noise ... I'v gone too far for this pic , too much lights !
But , yes , you can render very clean pics with maxwell , but to start , choose a day scene without light source (just hdr) , and simple materials ,then increase slowly the complexity , you'll see it's veeery powerfull...

why dont you use renderman? are you working on maya? no?
renderman is the best renderer for motion picture! i can prove it!
