Spring inspiration...

Post by Frederik » Sun Mar 29, 2009 3:46 pm

Hi All,

I'm sure many of you will recognize this render from the frontpage of the KT Getting Started tutorial... ;)
This time I've rendered it using Twilight...

Nice render, Frederik!
I would be interested to know what differences did you notice between the two programs.
For similar settings I found TWL to be a little faster than KT. Did you find the same difference?

Thanks, Dan...! ;)

For this particular scene, I can't compare it...
Reason being that I didn't use the same materials for both scenes and in KT I had applied 3D trees and grass using the instancing brush, which always will lead to increased render times... ;)

I've made some other tests though and can't find a difference in the render time if materials and other settings are identical...
However, what I really like about Twilight is the fact that you can make it all inside SketchUp...
In particular if you need to change something, add a little something, you don't need to re-export, re-apply materials etc...
Also - since all material, light and other settings are maintained, it's much easier to share the model with others... :D

I can share a great grass model for SU to use w/ Twilight... if you'd like to give it a shot w/ Didier's spray tool ;)

Would love to...!!
I can also share the model if anyone is interested in giving it a go... ;)
(I will just need to remove some FormFont objects...)

Same scene but with a few adjustments...
Played with a 3D grass component, but it needs some tweaking before it's perfect...
As you can see there's repeating patterns in the grass...
Aaahhh well - you need to learn something everyday... ;)

is this the one I shared? or yours?
you will find if you check in the scene I made "Exterior Pool" for the tutorial it has the grass component made in such a way that I scattered the components using Notareal's pinwheel technique he found... so there's no repeat pattern. so grab that chunk of grass and try that out. ;)

then it's just a matter of taking care of the repeat tiling in the deck wood.

This is my own... ;)
I've been playing around and will also have something to share with you guys soon... :D

You can see some of the tests I've made using this grass I'm working on in the Easter and spring time... thread... ;)

I did some days ago, but I have similar repeating patterns and although your grass component is nice, I find mine looking better... :P

As you can see this is posted in the WIP section... ;)
I will be playing more with materials in this scene...
