Hi all.
We got a last minute invite for a conceptual design competition. The idea, design and project was done in a couple of days. Modeled in ArchiCAD to get floor plans, sections, elevations, areas and other presentation stuff.
Rendered (8 views) in Corona for an hour each in a corei7 920 16gb. The scene was about 300M polys. Cars and people are very low poly count for a realtime walkthrough show. Post work in photoshop.
While setting up renders, I wished for 2 things:
1. that lights wouldn't show behind glass. I added some interior lights and set them not to be directly visible.
2. that CoronaScatter had some simple (box) self-collision detection or that it rendered particles.
Also... one question: The interior walls had some texture showing store shelves and other things. I added emission to that material to avoid using interior lights because I didn't want them to appear; but RAM usage was HUGE when parsing the scene using that material with emission. The texture is rather large, but I don't know if using about 7-8gigs of additional ram because of this is right or a bug.
Best regards.
