Model Rendering Suggestions |
|||
| Method: | Default "Final" render in Vue 5 Infinite (or equal settings in another Vue version) should give good results. The many reflective materials of the model will cause rather long render times. | ||
| Alternate Render Method: | Below, i present a custom "User" render setup that should give decent results in about half the render time of a default "Final" render. | ||

| Suggested Lighting Setup for Any Render | |||
| Sun - Light and Shadow: | Shadow density 75% to 85% | ||
 |
|||
Model Rendering Problem Solving |
|||
| "Grainy" reflections: | You will get grainy renders on the reflective surfaces, if you change their material settings to "Blurred Reflection". To overcome this would require very high Texture Anti-aliasing (AA) settings, also turning on "Recompute Subrays" in Texture AA and setting very high quality levels and low ambient lighting Vs sun lighting. I didn't have much success trying this and finally just stopped trying for blurred reflections on the Body and Ring metallic surfaces. If you try my fixes, expect render times to increase tremendously. | ||
| Soft Lights or Shadows: | Trying for soft lights or soft shadows might also cause problems. | ||
| Enjoy! | |||
