This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

10 Hours- and I have to say that it is unbiased. I see no noise at all.

hmmm. yeah- might be a waste rendering a 10 second clip- that's about 2400+ hours? 100 days user added image

Plus- you can't tell Indigo to render a certain amount of time. It just keeps on going and going and going until you stop it.

But I managed to get the 3ds Max plugin working, so I can start rendering from there.

These renderers are more for stills to save time tweaking the render setting.. offcourse with an animation it is really worthwile tweaking the settings :bow:

yeah- but these make sure that your results are completly accurate on top of that. But mostly the tweaking. Tweaking manualy versus waiting a long time.

Ill take waiting a long time ANY day.

indigo test v0.5 is out

It is MUCH faster- and BiDirectional Path tracing on top of MLT is purely awesome!

Look at this- 10 minutes, no post process in Indigo v0.5 (this is not my result, but someone on the #Flipcode forums for Indigo).

Interested now?

but its and interesting peice of software from what ive seen. i havent actually used it. but it sounds like the developer is making it purely as a hobby,. it would have more potential, if setting it up was easier. and thats the only way he could possibly even think about competing with maxwell, by making it a one-two punch to set up scenes for rendering.
