Technically speaking, this is what I call good use of an amazing render engine.
I challenge everyone to get that lighting realism from another render engine, especially
for the first shot.
Nice job!

« on: 2014-05-21, 13:21:58 »hmm....i wonder if the difference with sss shader would be that significant? i would like to see a close up of your skin shader cos from this distance it look pretty flawless.
It's coming pretty soon :)
I don't know what I can do, because the whole concept was done for that specific distance.
(You know texture detail, hair, etc.)
But I'll let you judge by yourself.

Thank you.
I reuploaded because I fixed a small texture error in the nose.

Latest personal project with corona.
Although I didn't have SSS, I am really pleased with the result.
The image is color corrected in photoshop.
Comments are welcome.

Thank you for your comments!
@daniel266
I intentionally left it like this, for once sacrificing realism for impression:)
@Maru
We had enough of Houdini for this month!!
Yes it would be super cool as an animation,
and damn you for giving me ideas for spending another
couple of months on something which until now was finished..!

Apart from the tall grasses in the second image which I don't like, I think this is a proper use of corona(not vray like look)
because this type of lighting is not possible with other mainstream render engines.
I really like the mood and the realism.

Very nice modeling,texturing and shading work. Do your images have any post or are they straight renders?
Also the lighting despite it being just an hdri, really due to corona looks very natural.
In my experience even renderers such as Arnold cannot get this result without serious post. Just my two cents.

« on: 2013-11-23, 15:35:53 »Nice indeed. Altough only by your detailed comment i actually noticed the hair work. It is pretty obvious on the edges of the wings but there is something odd about the way specularity feels on the left wing.. As if you were actually lighting a flat surface with high reflection and low glossiness. The blacks particulary could feel denser with micro clumps of high spec. Not easy i guess with no hair shader to play with but improvable . Anyways that's just my opinion looking at the ref picture. I have never tried to render such thing myself :p
Thank you. Actually, I used hair only, not because I wanted them to be seen, but because playing with just geometry and the shader, I could not get the result I wanted(tried blurry refractions, translucency). I didn't want to render single sided with translucency only. Also the hair you see on the edges are not the same as the main wing, they are bigger and alot fewer. I had tried the same image 5 years ago, with final render and a newby with vegetation(now I make my own plants/trees) and had comped the same butterfly image on top of the render:)
But after doing this(
Can't wait for corona to enter beta, and become even more efficient and appropriate for animations.

No it wouldn't, firstly because the given species has not the average butterfly wings(Eastern Tailed-Blue),
but also technically speaking, you don't see a single sided geometry at all. The wings have thickness and onto them hair are growing. What you see are just the hair(400000 strands), there is no geometry apart from these rendered at all. I tried both translucency and blurry refractions, and did many tests before settling with what you see and trying to be as close to reference images as possible.
Even on very sunny photos I could not see any discernible translucensy that I could replicate.
Anyway thanks for your comment and here is the reference I used for textures
