Dining render-first time with corona

[Ilija]

Hi guys,

Here is my first experience with corona. I used sun/sky system, with sky in color correction for softer lightning. Since I don't know practically anything about parameters, I just use things I found on the forum, PT for primary solver an HD for secondary, with 1024 samples. Let me know what you think and what could be improved.

Thanks,
Ilija

Hi, nice render :).. What about HW and rendertime?

Hi,

Thanks for the replay :).
I am not sure what the HW means, sorry, as I said I am new to corona. And render time, I just left it over night, but when I checked it after 2h it was still grainy. Although I have old computer, i5 2500k.

Thanks,
Ilija

Excellent. Will you prompt where i can buy such unbelievable lights with a full glass sphere? What's the model?

HW = hardware

Yeah, I hope it's because of a wrong material. :)


ilijato, you should also play with corona's post processing tab to eliminate sunlight burn

I guess shell modifier could solve full glass lamp if it's not meant to be there

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replay.
Here is the model of the glass chandelier : http://www.designconnected.com/lighting/pendant/Random-Light_p1781 . I just changed material to glass. I guess that shell would correct things but I didn't mind at the time.

I could play with a highlights a bit, maybe it would look better. Although I wanted to keep workflow as correct as possible, I read from Ravalanche that playing with highlights actually means that you are switching from linear to reinhard (in vray sense :) ). As I said, I don't know anything about corona yet, so every advice is more than welcome :).

Thanks,
Ilija
