Re: Does Twilight V2 Dump a Log File When Crashing?

Ah, that would explain a few things actually. I'll probably just switch back to 2014 in the mean time.

Thanks for letting me know, I thought I was going crazy!

Does Twilight V2 Dump a Log File When Crashing?

I've been trying to render an old model using Twilight V2 and every time I try to start, the render crashes before it's finished processing. I have a lot of textures in the file, and it used to work in V1, but something must be bugged. I was wondering if there was a way to find out which texture was...

Basement Renovation

My wife and I have been looking at ways to make our basement look and function better, so I decided to lay it all out in Sketchup and do a nice render of it to show her what I was thinking. The basement is already finished, but it's beige and carpeted, and mostly unchanged from when the builder buil...

Re: French Style Home evening

One thing you can do is add a slight purple coloured tinge to the light as well. This makes it seem more "night-like", and it lets your lights really pop, especially if they're a little yellower. I did this a while ago and it took me quite a while to figure out how to light it, as well. In...

Re: Kitchen and Tea Set

Here's a new one with the lids switched to look more like the handles on the mugs/teapot. It certainly looks much cleaner, but I'm not sure. I think I like the squareness of the old handles, and I think that if you fulled up the teapot with hot liquid that you'd burn your fingers a bit when you trie...

Re: Kitchen and Tea Set

No, the lids have more normal handles. I'm not sure how you'd go about making cuts like in the mugs and the teapot, but it's intriguing. Here's another shot of just the tea set, with everything put together all neatly. I may have to revisit the design and see if I can make the lids more like the rest.

Kitchen and Tea Set

Here's a little something I've been working on. It's my kitchen, but with new cabinets and counter tops. I also added a model of a tea set I originally designed for my wife as a wedding present. I couldn't afford to have it 3d printed ($850!!), so it'll have to stay a rendering for now. Kitchen_Redu...

2d Native People

I've been asked to create a rendering for a client that is for a First Nations School in Northern Canada, and the client only wants Native people in the renderings. The problem is, I can't find any... Does anyone know where I can find cutouts of Native people, or any other resource I could use to fi...

Re: White Specks on Shiny Surfaces

Well, if that's the case I may also resort to doing some render baking to get the walls to look good. Rounding the edges off will also help quite a bit, so I'll just try that out as well and leave the paint flat. I'll be using the Amazon EC2 service to render it all, so it shouldn't be TOO horrible ...

Re: White Specks on Shiny Surfaces

Hey, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I tried to render with Easy 09 and the speckles do go away. I only rendered 7 passes, but it's enough to tell what's going on. I also tried making my spot lights smaller, but it just made the scallops on the walls much more pronounced and a bit ugly. Ch...
