Great stuff Matt :)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but some of those nodes look custom to me (Reflect) is that something that one can patch in, is it hidden or what?

Matt, I knew there was a reason I favorited your blog! Holy smokes that’s awesome! When you do the docs for this could you include the test .blend files? Also could you post the node setup for the cloud sphere?

Matt, you rock. Creating render techniques based on scientific papers. That carbon fiber looks so beautiful. I can’t even get soft shadows out of the blender renderer. I wish I felt smarter at this very moment.

Hi Matt,
nice results of your work. I’m just curious, who JiriH is … its not me … I hope :-)

Jiri is not schizo (hopefully)

Thank you for your reply. This could be really very helpful for area lighted animation such as Peach project :-) Thank you for all your researches.

JiriH, the diffuse shading itself is very fast. Apart from a second or two pre-filtering the light probe before rendering, there’s no noticeable speed delay at all.

But! That’s diffuse shading only, like the example images on the website I linked to. If you want shadows, you’ll have to combine the technique with AO (though you can still use the filtered light probe to generate the AO colours) or by manually placing lamps. I think this is acceptable, given how fast it is.

The image based lighting tests seems very nice. How much faster it is? Will there be available some test build with new image-lighting panels?

Thank you very much for your good work!!!

Hey dudes, glad you find it interesting :) Did some more tests mixing two raytrace nodes (one sharp, one blurry) based on angle to the camera: http://mke3.net/blender/devel/nodes/coated_glossy_carpaint.jpg

and Paul: yeah, we’re going to have to make some sort of rendezvous :)

Wow - so much to digest! Definitely stuff to discuss over beer. :D

Cheers, Mate.

I think you beat the record for “number of words I don’t understand in 1 post”, but the pictures are pretty! :)
