Why would anybody set sun size to 0.05? :O

Maybe you should show material settings?

I thinks it's a matter of some "threshold". But don't know which one. :)

They are reflecting sky, right?

Anyway, great render. I like its mood, but in this case some kind of volumetric fog would be really useful. You could also make it more "photographic" by adding motion blur to the girl's hands. But maybe this would be too much. Less = more. :)

It's just a preview, it would take ages to render so many high quality thumbnails.

Nice. The only thing I noticed was wrinkles looking a bit "low poly" but maybe it was intended. Maybe some subtle bumpmap would make it even better.

btw, I don't like it that pressing F9 doesn't make the vfb window pop up if it was minimised.

Beat this:

Lenovo Edge 15
i3 370m @ 2,4GHz
4GB RAM
intel HD graphics

or:


Core2Duo E8400 @ 3,0GHz
4GB RAM
But I haven't tried running corona on this pc yet.

As you said, you can do this with Particle Flow or max's "Scatter" compound object. In pflow you can set your container object to delete particles touching it to eliminate intersections. Probably you can also find a free script to do this for example on scriptspot.

Resetted xform, changed UVW parameters, added UVW Xform (not even sure what it does) and nothing happens, same blurry bitmap.

Actually it's inspiring if you are a lamp designer.

I know this is pretty obvious, but look what happens when you scale a spherical light:
Scaling rectangular lights is ok.

Not bad, but everything looks like plastic. I think something's wrong with reflection glossiness. I would also play with lights, it looks like very bright ambient light was used. And chamfered edges would help too.
