Everyone’s busy… we’re on target to be finished end of August. That’s a mere 5 weeks! Doing interesting blog posts in crunch time is a too demanding; so I’ll just be slamming some stuff online to feed your curiosity :)
Here’s images I copied the past day from our renderfarm UI. It’s all WIP and tests!
Okay thank you! That’s all I wanted :D
Especially the last render looks nice ^^
I am very much looking forward to see all those renders in movement.
Just a little to satisfy my curiosity is all I needed.
Great looking holographic computer-displays!
Looks great! But please make sure that the CG elements match the camera noise.
Good luck and happy crunch time!
i am not up to date on this. what renderer do you use? cycles? or blender internal?
is cycles production ready now?
Cycles
Yes
Also
Yes
production ready: aaaaalmost. :)
We use Cycles for environments and Blender Internal for mattes, atmospherics and holograms (everything that should render fast)
.a
I know the cycles guru is busy, but is there any likelihood of re-writing the internal renderer using Opencl, or following some of the principles of the Cycles renderer (like node based materials)?
+1 :)
really love Blender Internal, would be awesome to see it be improved in the future.
I see the uses of the Internal too, definetly.
For a lot of stylized work there is no need to wait for Cycles to finish 500 passes for each frame. It doesnt always need to be realistic.
I fear though that developing on the Internal will stop rather soon. =/
wow, can’t wait to see the final. Graphics are looking great.
I was frightened, that mango project is canceled (because of rare blog updates).
gogo mango!! keep it up!
:O What a cool interface designa and color scheme. Whoever thought to wrap the monitors in hologram thingies deserves a hundred high fives. It’s a believable kitsch touch that I absolutely love. Sci-fi always works best when you can believe that something is there for a reason, and I can imagine up all sorts of reasons why those would be there. That’s what makes science fiction fun to watch. Bravo. Very good.
+1 @Wray Bowling , love the renders :).
