Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - ggaliens - 11-18-2013 Ambient Occlusion Setup time... Anyone else have reall problems on 100K or 200K models when trying Ambient Occ from tools menu ? I wonder if Scorp ever tried to optimize this ? I have no idea. But it is extremely slow for 50K, 100K, 200K. Like maybe system lockup slow. RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - Kruzschev - 11-20-2013 tested on my ~156k faced tank the Ambient Occlusion took for me like 5-6 minutes and I never bothered using the AO since it looks quite weird/funny so dunno if I might made some error on my side which causes such odd result my specs if it should give any sort of relevance Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 4GB DDR2 ram Intel Dou CPU E8400 @ 3 GHz Windows 7 64 bit RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - ggaliens - 11-20-2013 OK. That sounds about right to me. I think some of my setup times have been longer ... well ... they have because I have aborted them after long time. I should probably supply a link to model with some test results. I'll get back to this later. It looks pretty cool on some models. Models with large flat facets like yours ... not so great way to shade. Foamy tidbits ... really cool. RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - Kruzschev - 11-20-2013 Well a possible workaround for relative flat faces that it get's smoothed over several times over or with your 'Divide Rigidly' function applied on it so it should give a more smoother AO through it wouldn't really work much seeming as this AO function calculates via geometry casted fake 'shadow's or so I guess, perhaps as well some light added on it might manipulate the AO behavior a bit but I dint tested it yet so far In this case it seems to be more suitable for environment styled models or models with alot of small stuff added on it RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - oort - 11-22-2013 You can do AO with YafaRay/TheBounty If you are just doing it to get neat images of your models. oort RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - ggaliens - 11-22-2013 Actually ... I'd be doing it to get neat videos of my model. HyperCam capture of model manipulations in Wings3D (just navigating around AO lighted modeel). Oort ... I have Maxwell. Spoiled. Probably won't ever even goof with Renderman , Aqsis or 3Delight again. RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - oort - 11-22-2013 ggaliens, How much did you pay for Maxwell? I see it listed for $995 on their website. You must have too much money... oort RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - micheus - 11-24-2013 ggaliens, here is the "technical" explanation about the Wings3D AO: Wings3D OpenGL Ambient-Occlusion Generator and yes, as many vertices your object has better will be the result. RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - ggaliens - 11-25-2013 Oort Learning edition is not bad at all ... and for like $133 or $160 on sale. It was purchased for me .. but I did the research on which version to get and features and price. RE: Ambient Occlusion Setup time... - Justanother1 - 12-20-2013 Get Daz Studio while it's still Free! ... Took a bit to figure out the Renderer ... But it's Way Cool! Uber Surface and Uber Area Lights adds a Gorgeous AO, and you can render to Texture! Yeah I know you guys are all about the Open Source stuff, I don't see a problem with Combinations!! ... Also, you may wanna play with Guerilla Render
