update, got the text on it, but the liquid is rubbish,

anybody got tips on how to make this photo-real ??

cheers

first thing ! use subpatch for the botle...second...you know you have to be realy good with lw to create a realistic scene without GI...so i sugest you activate GI...third....you have to create double and normal flipped geometry for the botle and the liquid. do a search on google for lightwave tutorials on the web...you'll find a site with lots of tutorials....look for a tutorial with a honey jar.

turn caustics on

You might also need to turn the ray recursion limit up somewhat too to get the secondary bounces on the ground.

davie563 · 25-08-2004, 05:04 PM

were can this be found ??

ray recursion

You'll find it under the 'Render options' panel in layout:

ok, im trying to render out my final scene, with caustics and radiosity on, but when i hit F9 and it starts rendering pologons, it just crashes

am i doing somthin wrong ?

it just says program not responding,

thx :p

Rendering and caustics can be real render hogs, and can look like you've crashed the system.

My advice would be (if you've not got fPrime

) to start the render, but make sure you've got a small 'show rendering in progress' window visible, and simply leave it rendering overnight. See how it behaves in the morning.

davie563 · 26-08-2004, 03:26 PM

this is wierd, now when i take of radiosity and caustics, the thing still dosent render, it used to render the scene in amin or 2, but now nothin, is there a chance the file could be screwed ??

i dont know what the hell is hapinin, i tried rendering it but it took 30min to render 2 we dots on the screen,

all those renders u se above took mins to render, but now in the same setting i get nothing
