Title: deneb26 | test-renders
Post by: deneb26 on 2014-10-29, 18:48:29

Hello fellow corona-users.
I finally got some time recently to test this wonderfull render-engine.
And I must say it's fantastic in it's ease of use. Coming from vray I never felt
like getting better/faster results as with corona. Simply amazing.
So here I'll show some pictures I'm working on while testing.

hi demmy

I'm glad you're liking my first contribution.
The fire is done by applying a flame-texture on several poly-planes in conjunction
with the use of a corona-light material with subtle emission:

Helly there

I recently saw the great wreath-making tutorial from mantissa 3D aka Midge Sinnaeve. credits go out to him.
Gave it a try, did some modifications to the needle mesh and applied a bit more nature-like mats, though.
The scene is still in development, which means I'll add more decorative elements and fiddling with lighting/mat-settings.
Furthermore I'm struggeling with the candle-flame mat. Should I use a plane with texture applied or a 3D-representation of a flame?
Now I'm using a very dimly setup corona-light-mat on a 3D-mesh with additional coronoa-light sphere helping overall illumination.
What do you guys think?

A plane should do if is static render. Its easy to find some good reference of candle fire and using a selfillum mat or ligth material.
If its an animation the best would be using a image sequence of a fire.
Looking very good!.

thanks Boris

this time I used perpendicular planes with a opacity-mapped candle flame texture and it came out great.
I'm currently working on different candle- and 'x-mas-balls'-shaders and they're coming along nicely me thinks.
Maybe a bit too much PP on this one.

thats a great and simple way to make fire :)
great images you have there.
