Sample Model for Rendering - Water

Al Hart · 17 Jul 2012, 15:54

I have placed this model, created by Boothy, on the 3D Warehouse to use for making rendering samples with various rendering products: Water Effects Sample

Render it with your favorite rendering package, post the results here, and I will place them in the Sample Renderings section of SketchUpRendering.com .

Besides seeing samples of various rendering packages, the purpose of this thread and/or the SketchUpRendering.com site, where we will post these images, is to show SketchUp users the value of using add-on rendering packages to improve the quality and value of SketchUp models and images for internal or client presentations.

It is OK to change materials, backgrounds, lights, and other rendering settings – but do not add or change other geometry – unless there is something wrong with the original model.

Using vray. I essentially kept the original materials, just added reflective layers and bump maps. The fake caustics on the shark are added to the shark skin texture before the render using gimp.

once again an attempt with lumion free version.

Carloh · 19 Jul 2012, 14:43

as lumion is almost predicted for it i also made a quick animation.

Nice work on the video.

It really highlights how the water is a procedural bump map and not just a flat material

jo-ke · 20 Jul 2012, 07:43

left all materials, changed only settings and bumps,
placed lights, placed a background sphere
removed backsides,
took a rough water procedural (by madjid)
used twilight render Preset low
no postpro

Nice scene Al!
Could you post a v7 skp file too?

For this image, I placed some lights below the water level, turned off the sun, turned down the sun and placed a procedural bump on on the water, and zoomed in on the shark.

Rendered with IRender nXt - using alternate Rendering Engine 4 - which s better for caustic effects. Allowed to "cook" overnight for 625 passes. No post-processing

using Renderin, no post pro, everything pretty much what is existing on the file, just touch it with reflection and refraction only, for night scene added illumination on existing spot light and adding pool light.
Rendered on my AMD Dual Core 2.61 GHz, 1 GB RAM (pretty cheap old spec here)

The shark attacks!
A very quick set up, just trying out some (true) sun pool caustics with Thea's new TR1 improved preset. Motion blur and CRF in Thea and only a very slight colour correction in post pro.

Ollo81 · 22 Jul 2012, 19:35

Here is my attempt. This was a 3 and a half hour render with 70 passes using Thea with TR1. I kept the original materials and only added custom bump and reflection maps. I also did some post processing work with Gimp and DenoiseMyImage_Free. The HDR image that I used is form http://www.hdrlabs.com

Good thread - like seeing the different styles/rendering engines. My attempt with Lumion. Left all the original materials.

(edit: forgot to post the stats - scene setup time approx 30-40mins. render time approx 7 secs. No post work)

indeed.. i'd love to see all the render that provides for SU..(i know it's a long listing) but it will be very fun..
unity in diversity

Hello, Here is a test Renditioner. time: 4 minutes.

Why don't you post on Twilight site?
They have plenty of examples and tuts.

Download majid's poolwater, it works fine

Here a go at this scene with LightUp.

Added some light emitters in front of the windows. Changed the transparency of the roof because the scene was too bright. Changed several materials, added a watershader, turned some backfaces. Added a hdr as a background and as lighting source from http://www.hdrlabs.com

Calculation time: 6 minutes 15 seconds.
Edit:No post-processing.

Greetings, Max
