New rendering

July 6th, 2009 | by Simon |

This really took a long time – about 4 minutes per frame (total render time more than 24 hours – not sure how many exactly). However, after some tweaking to the sun/sky settings and the photon sampling rate, I think the results are at least passable. I also put this through Blender’s compositing node editor to correct Yafaray’s gamma, which came out too pale. Final output to FLV file done on Riva FLV Encoder – which, for the record, is free but not open source. This means that the entire workflow did not use a single piece of commercial software.

Well, here are the results:

BTW, since I’ve been asked: the pavilion is not a full-fledged project by any means – it’s just a quickie something to allow me to test software.

Update: just checked – Riva’s website doesn’t specify its license terms, but it FFmpeg and LAME modules, which are both released under the LGPL, an open-source license. So all is well.
