[Max] I need help! / Refraction Override through multiple layers

« on: 2022-02-13, 21:13:43 »

Hi all - I'm realizing when I use refraction override the backplate does not look correct through two pieces of glass. It looks like it's as bright as it would be through one - see attached image with indicated area... is this a max depth issue?

Gallery / Theta Z1 HDRI

« on: 2022-01-19, 00:25:22 »

Hi all - just picked up a Theta Z1 and wanted to share some info about it. I used it to really quickly create an HDRI and am very pleased with the functionality. The quality is nowhere near what I get when using a DSLR with a gimbal but the speed and ease of use really makes it worth it to me. As of right now, there's no ND filters or any other way to stop it down enough for use in direct sunlight, but for magic hour or lower light environments it's really great. I put together a quick render using an HDRI I made in a few minutes as an environment, and added some corona lights as strobes. Just wanted to put it out there!

Learner’s Corner / Ford Bronco - feedback requested

« on: 2021-10-19, 23:12:55 »

Hi all,

here's a recent render of mine, while I'm not sure if it's my best work I think it's a good indicator of where my skills are. I know (from looking through the forum gallery) there's much room left to improve technically and creatively but my ability to self critique is only so good right now. Any tips and advice are appreciated, thanks

Edit:
I think this belongs in the learner's corner so if it can be moved that would be great

[Max] General Discussion / Looking for a good Render Farm

« on: 2021-08-25, 18:20:41 »

Looking for suggestions from people with direct experience with render farms. Currently I use RebusFarm and although the integration is very nice, the reliability is abysmal to say the least. I know CoronaRender provides a list of renderfarms but I'm looking for a first hand recommendation to avoid testing each one individually. Thanks in advance.

Images from my latest project - track day focused Charger R/T. Base model of the Dodge from TurboSquid. Illuminated entirely with HDRI spherical environment. Corona flew through these renders pretty fast, originals are 3500px wide

Gallery / Procedural car paint

« on: 2018-07-25, 19:19:50 »

Hi all,

Sharing some images of a new procedural car paint material I'm working on. I used cellular maps for the flakes, but mixed it with a noise map to get them to point in all different directions for a more convincing look. I can share the material if anyone is interested. Model is from Saleh Fazeli at GrabCad.
