MP_38 F-Prime test

[MacDoggie]

I was doing some rendering tests with F-Prime with the latest build of LW. So I took some of my objects that I had built and created this Still. I have submitted a previous piece done with the new radiosity rendering engine and have to admit I still prefer the F-Prime solution, why? Primarily because F-Prime is faster and in most cases the quality is better if not as good. I ran the exact same image and the image sat over night and was still at 55%:thumbsdow and this was at an aa setting of 1 and at 800x600 resolution.

I then set up F-Prime and in less that an hour. I had what I am presenting now. I am also using DOF as well so this is yet another thing to take into account.....

Here are the settings:

Image resolution 800x600

Perspective Camera
AA9
Mitchell Sharp
Sampling pattern Fixed
Radiosity
Final Gather- Interpolated
Intensity - 150
RPE - 48
Tolerances 0
Indirect Bounces - 4
MES 20

If this is the fPrime image, I guess you failed to understand that all the settings listed have very little to do with fPrime. fPrime is a renderer on its own. There nothing like aa, mitchel, final gather. fPrime is fPrime. You can't influence it with LW render settings.

Looks great! :thumbsup:

True, the LW GI and AA settings don't affect the FPrime render, but they do affect the LW render that he was comparing the FPrime render to... ;)

You are correct, what I was listing was the settings for the LW renderer. I would have an example to show but I am NOT going to wait a day and a half for an image with the image settings I posted, which would not be possible if I was going to have to render a real world resolution for print media. There are only a few settings for F-prime which makes it almost too simple. I almost feel guilty for using it.

I apologize about not being more clear about my post. You do understand now don't you??

No problem John, I figured you listed the LW settings because that's what you were comparing FPrime to... keep it up, it looks great. :thumbsup:
